​"The retreat offered unique insights into the culture of the Navajo. The sweat lodge, prayers and ceremony were deeply healing, connecting me deeper to myself, my path, and creator. The prayer and aspects of the experience remain a part of my daily practice. I'm grateful to have been a part of the retreat." - S.C. Boulder, CO

"The Beauty Way retreat was one of the most profound events I have ever experienced.

Harrison and Anderson held us all with so much strength and gentleness through their powerful songs and prayers and their loving presence. I witnessed so much transformation and healing in everyone and in myself. Several months later I still feel the blessings they gave me. 
To have had the rare opportunity to be a part of something this joyful and heart opening was a great honor."- J.M. Denver, CO
