For years I’ve heard bits and pieces of much of the information presented and I never took the time to thread all the pieces together.  You brought it all together in one place and presented a compelling case for why this all matters.  In a word your retreat was transformational. The content, presenters, accommodations and food were perfect, perfect, perfect. I will remember this weekend as the tipping point for action.  Action for me to live better, make better decisions, and support those working to expose the endangerment of our food, health and the world we live in.

​Thank you for the absolutely wonderful Manitou Weekend.  It was a weekend filled with education, delicious food, conversation and an opportunity to make new friends. Sugar Lake Lodge was both serene and comfortable. Their employees were cheerful and accommodating ..what an unbelievable chef!

 

I especially appreciate how well your event was organized.  The days seemed to fly by and yet I never felt rushed.  There was a great balance between sitting (lectures, speakers, films, meals, fireside chats) and moving (morning walks, yoga) and rejuvenation (massages, relaxation techniques  acupuncture).  You did such a nice job of making yourself available and listening to/answering our questions as well as providing us with information and facts that we could mull over or on which we could dig deeper. The handouts and "show and tell" items such as the EMF filters, dehydrated nuts, and essential oils were fabulous  Our family has already made some adjustments to our daily living habits and we are on the road to becoming healthier and happier!   Thank you for a truly life-changing weekend.

I can't thank you enough for all the "eye opening" info I got from your seminar.  The hours were so packed, they just flew by. It's so nice sharing a common bond "to get and stay healthy" with all the people attending.

​I had a wonderful experience at the Manitou Health Institute.  Kathy was a wealth of knowledge and made time to answer each individual's questions.  The presentations were informative and I left knowing specific ways I could change the way I live my life to feel and look better.  As an aside, the Sugar Lake Lodge was beautiful and incredibly accommodating.  It is a true north woods gem.

When I arrived home from the institute I made a few changes and have seen stunning results.  I slept more soundly and woke up more energized.  I began each day with a "green drink" and have tried to add more raw foods to my diet.  Within the first week I lost 5lbs without changing the amount of food I consumed or increasing my exercise.  I was floored since I didn't even need to lose 5lbs.  I no longer need caffeine to start my day and I had been plague by on and off again afternoon headaches that have been reduced to almost nothing. I learned very specific things I could change at the MHI to feel better and cannot wait for the next institute!

I really, really, enjoyed the retreat, and so did my parents. The documentaries and presentations were extremely eye-opening and engaging. The powerpoint on toxins was my favorite, filling in a lot of gaps in what I had learned thus far on my own. The retreat was packed with valuable and practical information, including useful handouts and recipes, and I am looking forward to the next one! Five Stars!

I really enjoyed the seminars and took away something from each one of them. The yoga, nature walks, massage and guided medication sessions were great as well. I was impressed at how well thought out and organized everything was. The food was excellent and I always went away feeling full. I will return again!

I give a "two thumbs up" to Kathy and her team. The Manitou Health Retreat was an unforgettable, practical, life-changing experience. We learned real-world nutrition strategies for healthy eating, cooking, thinking and exercise that we have started to put into practice our first day back. For a happier,healthier life - escape for a weekend retreat. Your body and mind will thank you!
