Kudos from Past Retreats:
"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!" 
"A phenomenal time! Great people, amazing food and magic location, yoga, surfing and a hot stone massage... now that's good living!"
