"I loved everything about this event and am so glad I purchased the lifetime access so I can revisit these presentations again and again.
The format was fabulous and the site was so easy to navigate. I loved the interview style and, since I often have a short attention span, I appreciated that the interviews were concise and adhered to the subject. I also appreciated the fact that there was no interrupting each other. It was such a smooth format, I can't say enough good things... all the women were just lovely and I appreciated their generous bonuses as well."

"Irene Chong created such an amazing collaboration of knowledgable speakers and in my opinion is The Best host I have ever encountered. I was only able to attend a few of the interviews during this week, but was so full of new and fresh insight and energy from them ~ it was amazing. I am looking forward to following up with them and hearing the interviews of her other guests. What a remarkable resource! Thank you!"
- Tricia McNitt
"These talks were the most relevant I have experienced in any online retreat I have attended. Also, I was amazed at the generosity of the free gifts and again their relevancy. The multiple meditation sessions actually have been leading to mental breakthroughs and creative ideation. Thank you for framing the retreat, discussions, etc. as a true sharing experience rather than a guise for pushing products and services.
In the past, online retreat discussions have tended to nearly lead to practical information but would stop short and become a commercial for someone's services, making attendees feel "had." In contrast, your retreat was fulfilling. Thank you! Much gratitude to you and all the presenters!"

"Thank you so much for this summit. It was so impactful and came at just the right time in my life. I liked that it gave me resources to all these people that I never would have found otherwise. I felt empowered from the speakers and from Irene. It's easy to see how genuinely passionate Irene is about this subject."
- Dawn Saros-Kirk
"I enjoyed many of the interviews, I liked the way the host could reflect some of the important points raised by the speakers. The best was that I found so much of the content that was new to me. It enriched me as a woman and hope to remember some of the practices because of the generosity in giving free gifts. Thank you."

"I greatly appreciated ALL the speakers and your (Irene's) recaps / commentary with each speaker. I was amazed with the variety of subjects covered by the various speakers and I took away something to try from each speaker I listened to. I also appreciated the quality of gifts each speaker provided. Overall, an excellent summit and I look forward to attending the next one."

"I particularly liked the richness and depth of the contributors, material and interviews. There was a strong influence of spirituality underlying each presentation that was uplifting and delightful. I was not familiar with Irene going into the summit and her skills with interviewing and sharing reflections were wonderful….
I am sure that there has been tons of feedback for the contributors but the summit was such a success due to the guidance and leadership of Irene. You did an excellent job of guiding the interviews and offering reflections and feedback that were inspirational and ensured the goal of reaching the essence of each contributor. Bravo, Irene!"

Thank you."

"I loved your interviewing style, Irene, and the very relevant topic of "Taking Up Space" . I was introduced to some new people presenting and appreciated all of the soulful information that was shared vulnerably and knowledgably - the free gifts were generous . Several of the new to me presenters resonated deeply with me and I plan on following then further.
I loved that the theme embraced body mind and spirit topics and was so focused upon empowement and creativity - thank you so much for creating this space!

"The subject of the summit, the question asked to each speaker at the beginning and your great way of adding to what the speaker was saying, giving an other very interesting angle…. I so appreciate the question asked to each speaker, it was very inspiring to hear about their challenges and how they dealt with it showing that we all actually have the same challenges and confirming that yes, we can move through them. It also made our awakening so obvious and it gave me an other angle as to why it was important to show up at this time. I am familiar with it all and it confirmed the importance of our unique expression. It inspired me to have more confidence in my own perspective and the importance of sharing it…. This is one of the best summit I attended, I loved the depth and honesty and of course the question! It felt intimate and so friendly. I loved the introductory video for each day making me feel how involved and caring you were with your summit.
I also admired your gentle yet powerful presence and you are an amazing listener. You felt so grounded, I was very impressed and inspired.
Much gratitude for all the work you did, it was so well put together and powerful."
