I was honored to be a part of such a moving evening. I feel blessed to be a part of such an magical place with such amazing people and even more wonderful animals. I wish somehow I could make it full time because like the speakers said, to them, it's their own little slice of heaven. It has certainly been that for me as well.

I’ve been in this boat alone-not knowing anyone else who has gone down the same path. It was comforting to hear your stories of similarity and I hope over time we can help each other with ideas, resources or simply support. It will be powerful coming from any of you knowing that we all truly understand the challenges in our lives. Thank you for organizing a wonderful weekend and for inviting me.
In two days, this program did for me what 4+ years of conventional therapy and reading books on my own could not accomplish. My life will be greatly impacted by this retreat in the most positive way imaginable.
Dear Quantum Leap Family,

What a wonderful experience. Liz and Clare knocked themselves out to care for my dear wife. Despite she is losing her eyesight, they were so compassionate with her. You can be very proud with what you offer the public.

The activities with the horses were so powerful, I saw so much of the dynamic between my husband and I play out. I was able to be open with others trying to deal with similar issues. My frustration and lack of knowledge were exhausting my ability to care for my whole family.
The hands on work with the horses was the best, it really helped me to clearly Carla and Jenna visualize my own behavior and how I affect others around me.
