MY TALENTED, DEDICATED & GIFTED TEAM

SOLE DREAM HOLIDAYS - VALUES

I have found that Values-alignment is an important part of having a positive collective experience for all of my guests on every retreat and holiday.

I am honest.
I will let a guest know if I believe a retreat is not the right fit. I would rather have a satisfied and happy guest more than anything.
I do what I say I will do. And if I make an error, I will absolutely own my mistakes.

I am reliable.
I reply to all emails and quickly. I am a problem solver and work hard to build your trust.
I take pride in my work and am always looking to improve and bring more value to my retreats and holidays.

I believe.
I believe Black Lives Matter.
I believe in equality. My retreats are always open to everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation or religion.
I believe in science. By this, I mean science based on a shared set of provable facts and objective reality.
