I recently attended a retreat ran by Bliss—10/10 experience!
The overall atmosphere was just what I needed: incredibly relaxing and accepting. Bliss is an exceptional host who clearly prioritizes every guest's comfort. Their hosting was defined by how genuinely welcoming and friendly they were; they created a beautiful, safe space where I felt completely at ease from the minute I arrived.
The food was a major highlight, and the 24-hour Abundance Buffet was genius! Bliss cooked delicious, nourishing meals and ensured that everything was perfectly tailored to dietary needs and palates—not an easy feat! Knowing there was always an array of snacks and treats available contributed so much to the relaxing, no-fuss vibe. Bliss's helpfulness shone through in all the logistics, including an expertly organized afternoon trip to a local spot that was suitable for all, and the ceremony held there was amazing.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, welcoming, and deeply nourishing experience led by a truly attentive host, this is it. Highly recommend checking out Bliss's next retreat!
I 1000% recommend Bliss’s retreats.
We were lucky enough to attend one this weekend as it was incredible, I felt so safe, held and heard. The venue was out of this world. And the teachings were amazing.
Bliss is the best teacher I’ve ever had the privilege of learning from. I normally struggle with learning and taking in information but Bliss made it so natural I didn’t get my normal overwhelming panic of “shit I’m not taking it in” it just flowed in easily and without effort.
I can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed. All my daily worries were gone!
So basically…. Snap up a place before they’re gone!
Bliss organized, advertised, and hosted my recent retreat gathering, and did a superb job! Her chosen helpers added not only hands but wonderful hearts to the experience. She handled the administrative end very well, as well as making participants feel welcome and at home with her healthy meals, joy and warmth at the gathering. She is a blessing. Five Stars ~ I highly recommend her!! Brooke Medicine Eagle
just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for yesterday’s workshop.
It was such an incredible experience so rich, intense, and deeply inspiring. I feel like I learned more in one day than I would in a whole week!
Your kindness, generosity, and passion made the learning process so special. The atmosphere you created was full of warmth, sincerity, and connection, and I truly appreciate that. It was also wonderful to meet such amazing people and share this journey together.
I feel grateful and energized, and I can’t wait to continue practicing what I’ve learned. Thank you again for everything you are truly an amazing teacher!
Looking forward to crossing paths again.

I received a wonderful massage and hypnotherapy session from Bliss Magdalena , Thank you so so much, very much appreciated, and highly recommended if any one is needing or wanting some pampering/nurturing/healing/self care time which is so so important for all of us and too often overlooked, a perfect gift for a loved one or friend too. I felt so so relaxed all day long, and definitely worked through, helped release some long built up/held on to tension, so that is pretty amazing!!!

Dear Bliss, thank you for a beautiful and sacred weekend which was so special for us. You are such a warm and open person and made us feel really at easy and in a safe space right from the beginning.
This was our first time doing an in-person retreat and we weren’t really sure what to expect but our expectations were exceeded in every way.
You explained and demonstrated everything so clearly and authentically and we were able to deepen our own connection with each other through these practices. We also learnt so much that we’ll be able to keep exploring and developing together.
You give so much of your wonderful personality and skilful leadership. We don’t know how you managed to feed us so well too. We felt very held and nurtured and came away even more in love with each other and our authentic selves. Thank you for sharing your gifts

"I would really recommend a few sessions with Bliss. She helped me to recover physically and emotionally from some traumatic gynecological treatment "

I have had several treatments and trainings with Bliss. Not only is she very talented and knowledgeable, of an impressive number of healing therapies and practices, she is also a gifted space holder..
I felt a sense of ease and reassurance and felt rooted in the depth of the treatment. I highly recommend her as a teacher and healer both as a student of massage and recipient.
