Bounce Back – Stanford Valley Retreat Day 2

The day started with the realization that this is a retreat and not a foodie breakaway. A thought confirmed with a breakfast of cold oats dusted with a few slivers of almonds and topped with half a strawberry.

Bounce Back – Stanford Valley Retreat Day 1

Just the mere mention of the word retreat is enough to make me breathe out deeply! How we all need a calibration to our own True North in these weird times?
