What people of the Fate Fam are saying...
From Fear to Deep Connection
"I was really nervous to travel across the world alone, especially not knowing what to expect. I'm a planner by nature, and this was out of my comfort zone, but little did I know it was only the beginning. Both the yoga and coaching sessions unlocked skills, emotions, and, more importantly, strengths I had unknowingly tucked away. I left the retreat with the feeling of resilience and understanding, and a drive to keep digging deeper. I also left with 11 new best friends.. the kind you greet with a warm hug because you genuinely miss their presence."
Travel, Heal, Connect, Repeat
"I really enjoy the Create Your Fate Retreats led by Meg & Jose. It’s a life changing experience that allows me to do the things I love all at once, travel, yoga, self reflection, and connecting with others. Create Your Fate Retreats creates a safe space for you to be able to thrive and get the most out of your experience."
