Reviews of Julian Retreat with Hannah Faulkner:
Finding Balance Retreat⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This retreat was more fulfilling than expected. Activities were full of themes of self-love, unburdening addictions, maintaining a peaceful mindset that radiates positivity, and awareness of strengths and areas of self-growth. I especially appreciated the mantra shared and the morning meditation and yoga, as that was a new practice for me. The gentle yoga in the evening was original and creatively themed to match topics of discussion and Hannah has a beautiful calming presentation. The meals were also a highlight- healthy, hearty, and nutritious meals prepared by a private chef. I am thankful to have been a part of this weekend, as I have walked away in a better version of myself. I look forward to the opportunity to do this again.

I felt very well received and calm with this group of women. Any anxiety that I had quickly disappeared. Hannah is calm and a natural at guiding in yoga and meditation. The music was perfect, calming and well thought out. Sounds that evoked positive experiences and memories. The food was excellent, nourishing and tasty. I generally feel blessed and glad I decided on attending the retreat. I am able to go forth in life with healing and being more confident in decision making.

Hannah, thank you for being an inspiration! You emanate such a radiance of joy, despite the weather being rainy and gloomy, representing all of the turmoil that we face in life. I loved your original yoga sequences and story telling. Thanks for introducing me to this book and to Dr. Wayne Dyer- lots of these positive messages really resonated with me. I thoroughly enjoyed the quality time with compassionate and intelligent women. This is just what I needed. I live with 3 boys and really benefited from this balance. The location was beatuiful and serene. I loved the frequency of yoga and meditation. I descovered a new hobby as I stretched out of my element with drawing succulants and painting them in watercolor. It really tested my self-esteem and patience, but I got great results. The food was definitely a highlight: colorful, tasty, healthy, and best of all- made with love <3.

I want to extend my sincere thanks and admiration to Hannah for creating and organizing such a wonderful Art & Yoga retreat in Julian this April. I spent the weekend drawing and painting in a meditative way, doing yoga combined with travel and adventure themes drawn from Hannah's own travels across Europe, and participating in and listening to group discussion around the gem of a Wayne Dyer Book 'Being in Balance'. I connected with a beautifully positive and loving group; I learned many things from each person and all their wisdom and humility. We connected while walking and hiking in the Superb natural environment of Julian and over meals that were out of this world tasty and super nutritious, cooked by the very talented chef Katie. We meditated and followed guided visualizations that supported our dreams and potential with themes of inner peace and joy, Hannah's voice and spirit all the while soothing and uplifting. The weekend was seamless and so well organised. It was a weekend full of treasures and blessings that filled my heart; I made some wonderful connections and friends on this short retreat, and I also feel healthier and fitter!

The retreat with Hannah from Half Moon Yoga and Art was such a nice time. Hannah's yoga was fun and the themes provided an interesting and entertaining time. the structured schedule was appropriate and worked well. The food was amazing- delicious and perfectly time! I felt taken care of and peaceful. I enjoyed the continuity of the balance theme throughout, using the book with the yoga, meditations, and circle discussion time all with the theme tied together. The painting and coloring added an additional fun and meditative element. the group of people were great too- friendly and open. Overall a great retreat!
