“Great meals! Very delicious wholesome and plentiful... one of the best retreats I have been on.”

~ Jackie Reeves, Baja Retreat ~ 2003

“I saw one of Milagro Retreats' holidays posted on the internet. Something about the place, a small surf camp in Mexico, the event, yoga and surfing, and the food, naturally prepared vegetarian specialties made by a crew of amazing women, made me breathless - and I knew I had to go. When we arrived, twenty travelers from all over pouring out of a bus, a woman named Shani stepped forward and shook our hands with such a depth of sincerity and warmth that something inside of me was moved. This greeting was not how things were back home. So began 8 days of amazing events, people and food. It is said that 'environment shapes culture.' Milagro Retreats created such a warm environment that the memories of a life time flowed forth. I am forever in their debt. Sincerity, passion and excellence are such powerful gifts.”

~ Blair Mercer, Baja Retreat ~ 2003

“Thank you for a fabulous Holistically beneficial experience amongst a lovely group of individuals. The organization, location, tuition and cuisine were all perfect.”

Surfing Guests

“My first Milagro Retreat was in Baja almost four years ago. At age 50, I decided to take on the challenge of learning to surf. That experience was top notch, and I have since enjoyed two additional retreats in Tofino. Shani and her cohorts have managed to get the mix pretty well perfect: stimulating participants, extraordinary locations, opportunities for activity and relaxation, experienced and joyful staff, and food that is prepared with loving attention, then devoured with delight. Thanks Milagro, I will be back!”
