I had my first reading with Kendall at Light House Spiritual Center and it was nothing shy of mind…read moreblowing! I walked into the session very nervous. I had no idea what to expect, and she quickly reassured me that my reaction was very common and offered advice to help me feel at ease. I curled up in a comfy blanket with tissues in hand as I prepared for the messages to arrive... I instantly was able to receive heart felt communication from my loved ones that had passed over. It brought tears to my eyes! It was so descriptive and so authentic. She was spot on about the craziest details! Along the way, I was addressed by my angels and spirit guides who provided insight into my life's work. Such a gift! Luckily for me, she suggested that I record the session so that I could listen over and over as well as share information with those in my life that were also given messages! If you've never had a reading, you should! And Kendall is the medium for you. It's the warmest, soulful experience! I had no idea what to expect, but it was perfection! I know that this session will be my first of many as I seek guidance and answered questions about my life!

Both were life changing and very healing! She has such a way of delivering messages that is very calming and encouraging as well as crazy accurate. The things that she told me would happen that actually happened are too numerous to count! I would highly recommend the Integral Soul Healing because it is far from traditional cookie cutter therapy. She customizes the session based on your needs and what is going on in your life and no two visits are the same. Even though it wasn't always easy, it was always beneficial for me and I left with insights and tools that will help me for the rest of my life. I love that she genuinely cares about your journey and has such a gift for knowing how best to help you. I know that I am forever changed because of her and am so grateful that I found her! She isn't just a medium, she is a soul healer!

Total bliss -- every single time.

I truly love them both. The moment you walk in, everything feels calm, grounded, and completely zen. Over the past year, I've seen several different massage therapists -- not because I didn't love any of them, but because I genuinely wanted to experience them all. Every single one was wonderful. But after happily "researching," I've officially settled on my absolute favorite... Samantha! Now I book with Samantha every time for the most heavenly 80-minute massage, followed by 30 perfectly peaceful minutes in their sauna. It's become my little monthly ritual, and I look forward to it every visit. The pressure, the ambiance, the warmth -- it's always just right. Already counting down to my next appointment.

Came here for a weekend meditation retreat and gained exactly what I was seeking: peace,…read moretranquility and inspiration. The original building is almost 100 years old & the property is in definite need of improvement. But, that's actually the charm. Also, as a Buddhist interfaith organization, the cost is affordable, as most of the operations rely on Dana (generosity in Pali - the language of the Buddha). The idea is that the teachings are accessible to all. So don't let money be a deterrent from visiting. Each room has its own bathroom, so there's no need to share, which is unusual for a Buddhist meditation retreat center. They also provide all towels & sheets. You will need to bring your own toiletries. Also, I loved the "meditation pool" (the original swimming pool has been filled in) and took in the sun from one of the reclining chairs. They are also putting in an infrared sauna. And, you can walk down to the lake from their property in 2 minutes. Finally, be sure to attend a talk by the Venerable Pannavati. Each Sunday at 12 noon, there is a public talk. She's inspiring, kind and welcoming. I'll definitely be back!

Hi I would like to address Sandy H of the JUNE 30, 2025 review of the Silent Meditation Retreat. In…read moreit she headed it with: "it's Cult, STAY AWAY". LOL She also stated "...we noticed a level of unquestioning reverence for the AOL founder that felt more like cultish devotion than the pursuit of wisdom". And "...In our view, AOL does not represent a genuine path toward spiritual growth. For those seeking meaningful insight, authors like Alan Watts..." etc. I've been on this spiritual path for 50 years! yeah forever! hahahha - and I love Alan Watts and Ramana Maharishi and some of the other great Advaita teachers and lectures. And after 30 years of meditation and even teaching meditation, I also took the "Silent Retreat Course" several time and frankly - IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I FINALLY GOT WHAT SILENCE ACTUALLY MEANT. As far as it being a cult - Well everything can be considered a cult if one is devoted to it. Have you every been to one of those "Krishna Das cults" hahahahha? I live here on the mountain near the Retreat Center, I'm not a teacher nor a "cult member" lol. I'm just happy here with the knowledge I've gained here at the retreats. As far a Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder is concerned - Yes, he's my Guru, so was my mother. But the beauty of Sri Sri was that he (by example) showed me what SILENCE REALLY MEANT. So I would encourage people who want to come here to this beautiful retreat to remember that the PURPOSE of words, critical thinking, spiritual discourse is Silence and rejoicing in your own Being. Conversation is nice, interesting But the revelation of Silence is inner peace and true wisdom. (in my humble opinion :D ) and for sure my dogs love it here too! :D

I try to keep my mind off of exercise, so the mental exercise of being calm and in the moment for yoga was daunting. Nevertheless, I gave it a go. At my first class I made sure to let the instructor know it was my first time so in case I look confused or even fell on my face, she would not be surprised. She was very kind and encouraging, letting me know she could show me alternative poses if I ever felt uncomfortable or strained. Each pose took a lot of focus and concentration, but I also felt challenged in a positive way. Some poses were easy, some I knew I had to work on. By the end of the class I was very relaxed and couldn't wait for the next one. I encourage anyone who hasn't tried yoga (or has and is looking for a class) to try it here. I promise you'll enjoy it!
