SAGE GAWD RETREATS


A DREAM REALIZed

In 2023, I hosted my first Retreat to Dream and it truly was a dream realized. This had been something I had been hoping for, wishing for and then working towards for so long and to see it come together, on what turned out to be one of the hardest weekends of my life was truly a gift. Take a look back with me at the magic that we created and if you want to join the next retreat, keep reading and sign up to be the first in the know.

In gratitude,

DuShaun Branch Pollard
