"Snow was falling
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being
was nothing more than prettiness."

"
The property, house, people and energy of Loretto Maryholme make the whole experience of being here feel like a welcoming, warm embrace. Thank you from the bottom of my very full heart!."
"Everyone felt that they were in a safe place, a place where they were accepted for who they are. Love this place and wish I could spend more time here."
"As soon as I stepped out of my car, I saw the beauty and felt the peace, natural energy and spirituality. There was calmness everywhere."
"Blown away by how "safe" and welcoming I felt. The food was amazing and the views were soothing... I can't wait to return to re-ground myself."
"This place greets you like a warm hug from an old friend; it's magical...I leave here calmed, relaxed, refreshed, recharged, renewed - both physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually. All said - I'll see you again soon! Thank you for providing this nearby oasis with its incredible healing power. Peace be with you."
