We went here after reading other reviews. We found the place to be about average. The attempt was there however we didn't find to be true what others have said. We feel like others might be "misrepresenting" what they offer and their experiences. I think people are getting a OK deal however we felt compelled to let other customers know.

The food they serve is amazing. Their teachings invaluable. Great people, great atmosphere, pretty sure I'll be going back within the year.

I went to EL for a life review as I was feeling under a lot of pressure. It was the best decision I made as it was a life changing week. I did the Radiant Health programme and intuitively this is what worked for me. The course was really well thought out and put together and the teachers were lovely.... More

I looked at so many retreats before choosing the Expanding Light (EL). I was looking for a place and program to renew my spirit and bring back some of the optimism I had lost due to some recent stressful events in my life. I needed a break. I looked at places in Hawaii, Arizona, and even Europe, but something kept... More

Our stay at The Expanding Light has been one of the best vacations of my life! From the start, a very friendly woman (sorry, I forgot her name) gave us a tour of the property and a brief description of what The Expanding Light offers. During our stay, they offered yoga classes twice daily along with a lot of other... More

I went on a retreat. The surroundings were amazing (even with the smoke at the time from forest fires) I have never met a more wonderful group of people and I am planning another retreat. Since I am traveling from Alaska it is quite a compliment for me to spend the traveling money to come back. I found a peace... More

Accommodations are simple but the natural landscape and garden, and programs are outstanding! Food has improved with more low carb vegetarian options. Look for great food when the cooking classes are happening! The massage and healers space is very rustic and simple as well but the practitioners are sincere and experienced.

Mediation oriented facilities. Serene setting. Excellent service and staff. Rooms clean, neat, a bit spare - but then this is not about luxury. Vegetarian food. Good tasting but if you're not a vegan you may want to go into town to grab a burger. No alcohol. Great massage, yoga lessons etc. available from highly trained professionals, who live in the...
