HOW CLIENTS EXPERIENCE
THE METREAT

In April 2024, we hosted a Camp METREAT in the lush Mexican jungle, providing a powerful and transformative few days of self-reflection and renewal.

Here are some heartfelt testimonials from our Camp METREAT campers:

"I highly recommend Camp METREAT to anyone who needs a mental and physical reset, would like to reconnect with nature, reconnect with yourself and the power of collective women, gain peace and clarity, and have fun in a beautiful, magical place."

—Camp METREAT Participant

"Camp METREAT was magic. Time stood still and allowed us to have so many experiences in just a few days. It was a sacred space that allowed us to open up and dig deep and see one another and ourselves. There were women from all walks of life, different ages and life experiences, and yet, it seems we are all seeking similar things. There is comfort in that, connecting at a human level, and realizing that at our core we're all more similar than we may think. It was a wonderful experience to connect with all the natural elements (air, water, fire, earth), and each other. Just pure MAGIC."

"The METREAT experience promotes a full shedding of expectations to allow you to come into your full and authentic self. The safe space that Lisa and Tracey create is incredibly beautiful and sacred; I trust them with any modality and experience."

"As a mom of two young kids, I was in dire need of time to reconnect with myself. I did something completely out of my comfort zone when I signed on to do the METREAT, and it was the best thing I’ve done in a long time. Lisa and Tracy are magic. They complement each other so incredibly well and create a comfortable environment that feels like a group of old friends reconnecting despite most everyone being strangers. I don’t know how they recruited a group that gelled so instantly and on a deeper level than most friendships ever do. The activities are planned so thoughtfully and it’s the perfect balance of energy and downtime. I could ramble on forever but the METREAT was so beyond my expectations and I can’t wait to sign up for another one!"

"When you’re struggling with your circumstances and stuck in your head, sometimes what really helps is being surrounded by loving, open, and vulnerable people who are all facing their own challenges."

By Past METREATER, Yvette

I was really hesitant about ‘Camp’ METREAT. All the typical spiraling anxieties - what if something happened en route to Mexico? Maybe it would be too much money and ultimately not “worth” it. How much could I transform in three days anyway? Why do I even need to transform? And my biggest fear: what if people don’t like me?

That last question and my related insecurities often drive my apprehension and excuses. Only by talking back to that insecurity and having someone as persistent and reassuring as Lisa convinced me to take the leap of faith.

As I’ve established, I’m a big skeptic. I wondered how much three days of planned activities in Mexico could shift my perspective. I had so much resistance to change (blame it on my Taurus placement), yet, from the moment I arrived, I knew this was a special group and I had something to learn from each person.

When you’re struggling with your circumstances and stuck in your head, sometimes what really helps is being surrounded by loving, open, and vulnerable people who are all facing their own challenges.

Camp METREAT felt akin to that feeling of summer camp when you’re a kid, and the days stretch on with spaciousness, playfulness, and wonder. It brought me back to the giddiness of being a little girl on the first day of camp, sitting around with all your new friends, eating your meals together, and the very rare and ever-elusive way that time changes when you’re living in the moment (and not on your phone continuously refreshing Instagram). I looked up at the sky, noticing the quality of light to ascertain the time of day.

Physically, through the course of the yoga classes, I noticed the tension in my body starting to unspool like when the thin chain of a necklace is in a knot and you lightly pull it away from itself with your fingernails.

I also felt this feeling of unwinding mentally, noticing that the powerful vulnerability of the women around me helped me connect to my own vulnerability.

I surprised myself when I started crying in front of the group, talking about trying to repair a relationship that had been troubling me for years. I didn’t realize how much it had been hurting me or even how much it meant to me to be working towards repair. Afterwards, someone approached me and said, “I think it’s really cool what you were saying, and I can relate.”

I stepped out of my comfort zone, and being affirmed and supported in an authentic way felt really special.

In 2023, The METREAT was held in the beautiful Guatemalan jungle. Participants enjoyed yoga sessions with stunning views of the volcano, indulged in delicious food, and formed meaningful connections.

Here are some kind words from METREATERS who were on that retreat:

"It’s a vibe. But really, it's an immersive experience where you not only effortlessly learn to connect with your own body and mind but also forge deep connections with others."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"OMG, I keep trying, haha. It was a trip for me—a combination of so many different modalities to connect with myself and explore who I am, all in the most fun environment. Delicious food, amazing views, amazing people. Just do it, and then you’ll get it."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"The METREAT is the most profound experience that you didn't realize you needed. It's about stepping aside to realign, reframe, and embrace being present in your life."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"Being alone with your thoughts and finding the clarity we all need in today's chaotic world, and yet not being alone, because you're supported by Lisa and a community of wonderfully kind and empathetic women—each with a story and challenge we're working through."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"Three days with strangers who feel like family, creating a safe space for healing."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"A fun experience in another country with beautiful activities that offer connection to others and yourself."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"The METREAT was simply a magical experience. It allowed me to reflect inward while also fostering deep connections—an experience you don’t know you need until you have it."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"Unexpected, energizing, and power-packed!"
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"The METREAT is an opportunity for you to reconnect with yourself and other like-minded women. It is a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beyond. It offers you a chance to have fun, share in new experiences with others, and recenter yourself. The months leading up to the METREAT were filled with busyness, stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. The METREAT offered my mind, body, and spirit an oasis that it so desperately needed."
— The METREAT Guatemala Participant

"Lisa's METREAT is an experience of a lifetime, one I recommend for every curious woman, whether you're deep into taking care of your mind and body or just dipping your toes into the wellness space and searching for more. I found much more than I expected, and I did not realize just how much I needed the METREAT until I finished. It was like drinking from fresh spring water after the longest thirst. The energy was magnetic. I rediscovered myself and learned tools I could take home to continue my journey, meeting an incredible group of authentic, kind, beautiful, funny, intelligent women who taught me many lessons. After writing this, words simply do not begin to explain the power of the METREAT. I am forever grateful to Lisa and the team she assembled. It was truly life-changing for me. Thank you is not enough."
