I found the retreat on google and contacted the person. She said her daughter had died and this yoga retreat was for parents who had lost a child. My ears perked up immediately. The retreat was to be at Villa Turquesa, Akumal Sur #62,Akumal, Tulum Quintana Roo, 77737, Mexico. We were to get our own flights to Cancun and then Norma (my contact in Nanaimo who I was going to travel with) and I would pay for your fare to the villa. I e-transferred the 300. down payment she requested (to Erin Burden - I have the reference number. That was on Aug. 1/24 and the 1900. on Aug. 3/24. Erin's phone number is 250-734-3477 and she gave me the contact number of Norma (who was also supposedly going on the retreat and we were to be travelling together). Norma's number (rings a few times before she answers 'Oh hi Gayle) is 1-250-245-9952. When Erin texted Norma's no., she must have used copy and paste because her number's name Norma Bowen Retreat.

Hi Gayle,
I was given your name and number because you were hesitant about travelling alone, so I offered to be your travel companion.
I was a participant at this wonderful retreat, not the organizer.
Your decision to not join us was your choice.
I see that Erin has graciously offered to apply your payment to another retreat. I encourage you to take her up on this offer. It really is a wonderful time, and much healing can be done.
Sincerely,
Norma

Subject: Clarification Regarding Your Concerns

Dear Gayle

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I truly understand that this situation has been upsetting for you, and I’d like to address everything clearly.

First and foremost, I want to assure you that my retreats are conducted with the utmost sincerity and care, stemming from my own deep understanding of grief as a mother who has lost her youngest daughter. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing space for others who are grieving to heal and find solace.

Regarding your specific points:

The Retreat Experience:

The recent retreat at Villa Turquesa in Akumal was indeed held, and the participants shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about their experiences. It’s disheartening to hear that there’s a misunderstanding about its authenticity.
Norma’s Involvement:

Norma, one of the attendees, was genuinely part of this retreat. She coordinated with other participants to organize travel arrangements, as is common for these types of events.
Payment and Credit Offer:

I received your payments as part of the retreat booking, and I understand the commitment this represents. I also appreciate that life circumstances can change unexpectedly, making it difficult to attend as planned. For this reason, I have offered to credit your payments toward a future retreat. This offer remains open, as I want to ensure you still have the opportunity to experience the retreat’s healing environment when the time feels right.
Your Friend’s Concerns:

When your friend contacted me, I did my best to answer her questions openly and honestly. I understood from our conversation that she was encouraging you to join, given the potential benefits of such an experience.
I hope this response helps clarify any misunderstandings and demonstrates my commitment to honesty and integrity in all that I do. Please let me know if you have any further questions or if you’d like to discuss this matter further. My intention has always been to provide comfort and healing, not distress.

Warm regards,
Erin Burden
