Read moreIn 2012 I was privileged to participate in Lenora’s Italy Retreat for Women. This trip had been on my “bucket list” for a few years, and I was delighted to have my expectations fulfilled to overflowing! Lenora’s preparation and eye for detail made the trip a joy. I was able to stretch my boundaries and go beyond my comfort zone in a few hikes along the Cinque Terra villages with support from her and the women in the group. Lenora’s skill in teaching techniques to change limiting beliefs and live more of la Dolce Vita, have helped me gain more inner strength and self knowledge. These qualities I carry with me to this day, and for that I am very grateful. ~~Mary Ellen Maguire
