“I booked a retreat to Chiang Mai with Jacq on a whim last year. I wanted to travel. I loved (and still love) chanting mantra alongside harmonium in Jacq’s classes, so I figured, why the hell not? Best decision.

I began planning my next retreat with her before the first even ended. This was my first international trip and I was excited/nervous/overwhelmed/clueless. Instantly upon arrival at the retreat center the atmosphere felt nothing but genuine, natural, inviting, free of judgment, and full of compassion.

Whether it was shedding tears of gratitude for an opportunity to exist in this moment on this Earth with these people, or discussing simple truths and challenges over delicious meals and coconut milk coffee, all of my thoughts and feelings were welcomed.

Was I anything but surprised at Jacq’s ability to co-create this type of space with us strangers in a totally new part of the world? No, of course not. Because it seems to me where Jacq goes, her commitment to digging deeper and offering others a space to do the same goes, too. And for that I thank you thank you thank you Jacq!— for always allowing me to feel like me and sharing that openness and acceptance with the world. I am endlessly appreciative and inspired by your heart and song. Love love love!”
