TESTIMONIALS

I created a container within myself that was strong enough, soft enough and expansive enough to allow the exiled malchus that has always been inside of me to be liberated and free to find a resting place inside of me. My heart opened wider, I softened deeper, I rose taller, I reached higher, I desired and pleasured more, I accessed my own creative forces and I experienced Od Yoter Tov.

It was five days of learning, witnessing, being with, having deep presence and reverence for the range of being both an infinite holy soul and a deeply feeling, experiencing very human being. Allowing myself to first presence to that range created a solid expansive container to allow the areas that blocked the divine flow inside of me to emerge, move through, release and eventually recalibrate to coherence and balance, first on a nervous system level and then on a soul level. When the body and nervous system can recalibrate to its natural state of coherence, the soul remembrance comes back online. We remember who we are. And from that place we can expand to the possibilities in the universe, to the light of the ein sof, both inside of us and in the frequency around us, to the od Yoter tov v’od yoter tov. The blinders come off, the illusion becomes comical and we can truly see the reality and the revelation beyond the concealment. We are liberated!

The retreat was a mystical yet grounding experience—a wild, adventurous, and fun journey into the unknown that left me feeling more awake, aware, and alive. It was deeper than anything I’ve ever experienced, and even a whole later, I’m still reaping the benefits. I wake up feeling vibrant, free, and energized. My parenting has shifted, and my business has thrived more this week than in the past year! The energy work was incredible, and I’ve never encountered modalities used in such unique and effective ways as Rivky did. Just WOW!

It is truly hard to put into words the work, the experience, the magic, and the depth of integration that unfolded over these five days and that continues to ripple through my life every single day. What happened cannot be captured fully by language, because it was felt so deeply in the core of my being, in the way I experience myself, and in how I now experience the world around me.

Never in my life did I imagine I could discover who I truly am at my deepest core and then witness how the world reflects back to me the most beautiful expressions of love, acceptance, and appreciation for who I am. It is nothing short of magical to see what becomes possible when we come into right relationship with ourselves, embracing all the parts of who we are. That inner shift transforms everything on the outside, our relationships with our children, our spouses, and with life itself.

Through this retreat I have discovered that I hold the ability to create my own reality, to shift my energy, and to hold and process whatever I need to move through. That realization alone is the most profound and empowering gift I could have ever received.

Rivky, you are a blessed, gifted human angel walking this earth. I feel privileged and honored to know you, to have received your embodied medicine, and to continue learning from the way you walk through the world. Thank you for opening this possibility for me, and for giving me a gift that will continue to expand through my life and touch the lives of those around me.

I am forever grateful to you, to Hashem, and to all the beautiful souls I met on this retreat, who are now etched in my heart as soul sisters forever.

P.F.

The retreat was a sacred pilgrimage into the depths of my heart and soul. Rivky led the way to a hidden chamber within me, unlocking my deepest fears, desires, and dreams. I experienced some of the most powerful and effective inner work I've ever encountered. The circle of women was a sanctuary of kindness, love, and authenticity, and Rivky curates the group with care. I left feeling more whole, integrated, and at peace, something I had been searching for. The experience was even more transformative than any psychedelic retreat, despite no psychedelics being used. My family dynamics shifted significantly after returning, as if they had been part of the experience. Powerful energy work is real, and I’m deeply grateful to Rivky, a fearless, loving leader filled with vitality and compassion. I’ll definitely be back for more magic—not because I need fixing, but because I want to experience this glorious vortex again!

It’s wild what has been happening since the retreat…like, I don’t have words, wild.

The retreat changed me so deeply. I never had the experiences I have had with my clients in my practice these past two weeks.  

Pure Hashem (God) magic.

I cried with my client today. He reflected things to me about my shift and how he has never been held, seen, witnessed, guided, disciplined…with so much love. (Not his exact words but the overall idea.)

I cannot tell you what it’s like for me to finally have recognized my light. My purpose. I don’t have time anymore for anything else…For toxic relationships…For anything that gets in the way of this holy work.

Many are called to this, few answer. I answered now and there is no turning back. 

I will never ever be able to thank you enough. Ever. Only Hashem (God) can do that. 

I want to share this work with the whole world. With anyone who will listen.

You are one of a kind. I’m so so lucky.

I am seeing the integration and this new frequency transform my clients to levels that’ve made me cry for joy so many times. It’s never happened before. 
I’m beyond grateful for the gift I gave myself with this retreat. It was radical, wild, and crazy in so many ways. I’m deeply thankful to Hashem (God) to have gotten me to this point and to bring me Rivky as a messenger to show me what’s possible. I have no words. Just tears of joy and gratitude.
Thank you so very much. 

P.

I’ve broken through to a new level of what I believed was possible for me. I’m absolutely certain of my mission, dreams, desires, and strength. Leaving this retreat, I’ve entered a new phase of life where all possibilities are within reach. I feel confident, ready to express myself, and whole.

JW

I’ve taken ayahuasca and other plant medicines before. Those experiences did not come close to the depth, intensity and integration and healing I received on your retreat. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am renewed. This was the most insane (in a good way) experience in my Life.

OT

One week later from when my soul shift began. I can't explain it, I just feel a calm, a sense of knowing. There haven't been any life altering changes in a way that people in my life might look for sometimes, it's a real, true internal shift and a wild ride. I feel so grateful to God and I'm so happy that you and I have chosen to do this life together, just wowwwwww. Thank you, I love you.

SB

The retreat felt like a glimpse of how God created the world to be - where giving and receiving happen in the purest, most loving way. Rivky leads with a sacred heart and endless love, embodying the a beautiful way I truly believe humans can interact to make the world a better plate. I arrived feeling bashful and left as a living embodiment of vitality. It's a transformative experience I wish for everyone to have.

AF

The retreat was a gathering of beautiful women, carefully curated by Rivky, creating a constellation of connection, knowing, and healing. We learned so much about ourselves by witnessing others, in a space that felt both holy and comforting, yet luxurious. Laughter and tears were honored and nurtured, each having their place. It was like a beautiful cocoon with a magical energy, leaving me forever changed by the transformations I experienced and witnessed.

GM

I'm so Grateful for this experience of the retreat and for you! Thank you God for the honor of being aware and seeking this resonance for myself and for each of the women who have found it as well!! What a profound blessing!!

TK

The retreat with these incredible women was deeply transformative. Each woman's openness and kindness helped me feel truly seen and supported. Through shared stories, laughter, and tears, I realized how deeply connected we all are. A powerful moment for me was a release, where I found my own strong, undeniable voice after generations of silence. Chani's nourishing food and Rivky's wisdom and care made this experience even more special, allowing us to heal with gentleness and strength. This retreat was a journey back to myself, a reminder of sisterhood and the beauty of healing. I'm forever grateful. Shabbat Shalom

JT

I signed up for this retreat to bridge the gap of the  the feeling of having “two worlds” and feel as one with myself. I was hoping to gain a sense of true comfortability in my skin. What I gained was beyond what I asked for. The depth of every human's heart is so deep that I couldn't have even know what to wish for. I gained a new depth of love and compassion that feels as though nothing can come between myself and my heart. I feel so safe within myself, deeply rooted in my being. And embracing all and anything that may come my way.

LJ

This intimate intensive retreat was everything my soul was yearning for. I stepped in on that blissful Friday morning with a tightness around my chest as I felt this would be a vulnerable somewhat uncomfortable beginning. It was everything but that. I was welcomed and enveloped in Rivky's loving and gracious energy with gentle compassion to "exactly what I'm actually feeling". She took us on a three day journey with so much compassion to every part of our souls that only went deeper and deeper. There was time to integrate the work between sessions, sitting around magnificently set tables for meals, fun and laughter. Every second spent in this inclusive space stretched my nervous system, released stuck emotions from my body and heart and expanded my heart to depths I did not know I own. They say there is nothing like a first impression, for this one, I'm actually intrigued for a second one.

GR

Grappling with how to describe this life-altering experience and how grateful I am for it. Beginning with God's divine plan to get me there just a few days before and ending with going home a different version of myself. The Retreat is a place where I blossomed and bloomed. Where I could dive deep within, to a breaking point and come back up for air on my own while being witnessed and supported by the perfectly curated special group of women alongside me. Souls intertwined forever. Souls who were ready to take the masks off and bask in the challenging and also awesome parts of ourselves. The magic truly happens in the resonance field, the knowing and learning from each other. Also with reverence, how with deep respect we can uplift one another and it’s so well deserved on a soul level. To say THANK YOU! to Rivky will not suffice, I am forever grateful to you for this time together. I wish for everyone to get to have this experience and be received in the ways we were always meant to be.

TW

Rivky, the more that time passes from the retreat, the more in awe I am. Each day I see a new piece of the transformation, of how deeply my life was transformed, of the new areas of my self and my being that I can now access with ease. I had therapy yesterday and in speaking about the retreat, my healer was able to voice something I felt but did not clearly name "we entered in peace and left in peace". Many processes were opened, at the end, I was able to also see the beginning of new possibilities. But it doesn't feel pressing, it feels like everything that got energetically opened got beautifully closed and is integrating softly and naturally. To have it be this way is unlike a lot of what I've done in the past and speaks to Rivky's unique magic. Truly forever grateful and cannot wait for the next one.

SF

I just wanted to share two of my friends that went to your retreat and they were blown away!! They had such a magical time they said you are so beyond talented (not the right word really) and it was so beyond words! And Chani was an incredible cook and member and they could not stop talking and sharing! I'm really hoping to figure out how to make it work for me to come next time and just wanted to share their awe and amazing and how good they are still feeling.

DD

From this retreat, I reclaim my seat In the center of my wisdom. In humility, with the deepest gratitude for who I have become. In the pain of the contractions, I have birthed my own possibility.

TESTIMONIALS

At the Frequency of Freedom retreat, I created a space that is safe to feel into and want my desires, through radical unconditional self love. I created forgiveness for constantly changing myself and performing for others. I created a turning point, a new timeline to activate new possibilities for myself, my family, my community, my clients and the world, by checking in with me first and speaking from my soul, with Sovereign energy. I created a knowing that women in their power is moshiach(redemption) energy, and get to take aligned action and I get to guide them into that space using my gifts of coaching money energetics and money systems.

J

It is not often that I feel at a loss for words. I am overcome by humility, awe, reverence, and a new flavor of love that is swollen in my heart. To BE with all of you was to experience the MAGIC that this retreat!! Your willingness, vulnerability, honesty, advocacy, courage, tears and laughter brought me into a new space of my soul, a connection that I have never experienced before....!! A frequency of resonance that I am so deeply grateful to now embody. I treasure each of you and the experience we were privileged and divinely chosen  to share. I learned so much from each of you, by witnessing, listening, sensing, being with, and in your warm loving hugs. Thank you for seeing me, for receiving me, for allowing me to give from my heart, for your patience, your compassion, and your resonance. I am walking in my life now feeling pursued and chosen by Hashem, knowing that I was here because he desired it for me, and he guided me to receive this gift of our togetherness led by his ministering angel Rivky. I feel gratitude pouring out of me and trailing wherever I walk, I see it in the way my children are looking at me in the way my husband is connecting to me, in the way my friends are hearing me differently. Wow!!! That's what's coming through. Just... WOW!!! I love each of you. So excited to have you as my soul friends. Sending big warm hugs!!

CF

I sat in a circle of souls, Deliberately chosen, Ministering Angels. Each on with their very own mission from God. Each one holding the medicine to cure themselves. And we all lifted each other up, higher and higher. Bearing witness to our souls, as I bear witness to my own soul. For you. For me. For the Universe. Together we are the Possibility. We pour the medicine. From one heart into the other. Giving and receiving. In holiness. In divinity. In the manifestation of God's will. Smashing the vessels to release the light. Shaking out the vessels to release the light. Shaking out the suffering. Releasing our grip. And softening into the truth. This is ancient promise. This is the gift. This is the blessing. I'm so grateful for this retreat.

GS

Dear Rivky! I still see your loving smile, your deeply caring gaze, and your warmest embrace, offering me so much safety and permission to be in the most present self that I could, all along. Every moment was truly so magical, with endless levels of healing and growth. Every single detail was incredibly intentional and meticulously executed, from the location, locale, gift bags, decor, food, menu, music, offerings. and more, including the brilliant curating of the most gorgeous souls of women who joined. From knowing no one to literally feeling the deepest reverence and true soul sister connections and friendships with tremendous fondness and love for every single one by the time we parted ways. Every offering was so clearly bringing in God's truth and energy - it was felt in such an absolute visible and palpable way. It's the understanding of what a world of Redemption means and feels. It was Messianic on every level! I'm beyond humbled, grateful, and blessed to have been there and to have chosen myself to receive. I could have never imagined the level on which I'd receive and take it with me. It fills my every vein and bone. It's filled my essence, and my heart is so full. You, Chani, and Rochel.. a team of divinity, collaborating with Hashem here on earth. A sacred space of holiness, where you channeled God into your gift and gave back to Him, for the world at large. Our shift is the world's shift!

I close on this note, as the sentiments feel unending, and at the same time. I am still speechless for what went down. Thank you. Hashem!!! Thank you, Rivky!!! May you continue to be blessed with unlimited success in all that you do, both personally and professionally. Love you so much!!

DB

The last day of the retreat, we sat around the table and reflected how we see each participant in one word. We all struggled to describe Rivky, but some of the words that we settled for were "a clear channel, a witness, an understanding heart..." with a little bit of additional time to process, I can give you a new one "The Greatest Healer that's Ever Lived", I say this with the calm certainty I feel Moshe had when he wrote in the Torah that he is the most humble man that ever lived. Words are not an adequate way to communicate what this work can do for you, but they are what we have, so just know that the thing you've been carrying for longer than you can describe, hidden behind the corner of your subconscious or conscious mind: you can live life without it. If you are willing, Rivky can help you see how.

OC

My heart is overflowing with gratitude, for the opportunity of living my daily life with my 2 feet planted firmly on the ground, while my head feels like it’s being gently pulled by the clouds I connected with all the way to a visceral sense of God. Thank you to all my friends for my new lease on life.

BG

A big part of the weekend for me is how the magic keeps magic-ing. It's a gift that keeps on giving , because I learned  it's all inside of us.

LD

As I sat in the circle, surrounded by the gentle and fierce Rivky and the other women, I felt the armor I'd built around my heart begin to crack. The retreat was a rebirth, a chance to reclaim my power, my voice, and my sense of purpose. I left feeling more grounded, more centered, and more at home in my own skin. It was like nothing I've ever seen or experienced before and I've been to many healing retreats and experiences. This was a shift on a cosmic level that I feel deeply in my body and nervous system. I know that my business, family and my body will reap the benefits of this unforgettable retreat forever.

JT

This work is fantastic! The same old stuff that caused so much pain and hurt just yesterday, now feels so much more peaceful when I allow myself to feel them. They are a chapter in the story of my life, but not my whole story.

KS

Before the retreat, I did my best not to look at Rivky’s website and read her testimonials. My soul knew I was meant to be there. I was connected to Rivky through a dear mutual friend. Since I trusted her completely from a soul level, I did not want my mind to be influenced by the expectations of others experiences with her, or even know more about her work, background, and training. What’s a testimony? It is a way to convey an experience of witnessing, and retelling the experience and events in a most truthful and honest way. I don’t know where to begin with this woman - Rivky Gross. My awe and respect for her, who she is, what she has done, how she shows up, how she holds space. I can write this testimony with the deepest love and total ‘authority’ because I was most deeply privileged the gift of witnessing Rivky witness US. Me. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. This work is no joke. It is NECESSARY of EVERY LIVING PERSON to DO THIS, especially if you are someone who is serious and sincere about bringing Moshiach for yourself, your family, and the World. This work WORKS. It is easy to enter into a medicine ceremony and not know how things will turn out on the other side. There is always a mystery and risk with the results not turning out in a way that you can truly integrate or touch the places needed in order to have LITERAL and LASTING and FOREVER TRANSFORMATION. With Rivky, her method just WORKS. Why? Because while she is brilliant and ingeniously and subtly working myriads of modalities known or unbeknownst to us, her true brilliance shines in her ability to Witness our Wounds with such deep reverence and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WITNESSED THIS. NOT ONCE or TWICE!!! MULTIPLE TIMES. WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON. I saw it with my own eyes on myself and the whole group. With every single facilitation, she was capable of tapping into the unique needs of every participant to adjust her space holding per the needs of the individual. Her ability and gifts to tap into the individual and unique frequency of every PERSON was uncanny. I witnessed this. I can testify. Wow. So many times when I have invested in something in the past, I have felt a deep greed in the healer I hired to hoard the money. Not with Rivky. It is sooooooo clear and obvious that she so deeply compounded our investment that I was thinking - ‘you know what? I feel like the value I got was obviously priceless, but fiscally worth at least 3 times the amount.’ I then read a testimony on her website that literally said the same thing!!! And I am so happy I waited until after the retreat to read that, because it so deeply validated what I thought, felt, and experienced, without any prior knowledge or conditioning of what to expect. The shefa, the abundance in which Rivky and her team invested in us was actually gorgeously insane. It was mamash a taste of Gan Eden. She did not hold back. She took our investment in her and put it right back into us. From the candles, to the incense, to the music, to the sound system, to the pillows, to the food…I could write an essay, a dissertation about the food….thank you CHANI !!!…..the whole thing. The whole thing. The whole thing. How she shattered our Vessels. How she repaired them with such simplicity, with such love, with such depth, with such love…with such real love. She taught me what real love is. It is allowing the spectrum of our HUMANITY. That we are REAL PEOPLE. I now know. I am NOT an OBJECT. I AM A PERSON. I MATTER. MY LIFE MATTERS. I will end this by saying that I have always been aware of what was ‘wrong’ with me and what it would take for me to heal. I signed up with so many various healers, retreats, over the years. Probably like over a hundred thousand dollars if I add it all up over a 20 year run. No-one was ever able to take me to where I needed to go to heal the sexual abuse I experienced as a little girl. And honestly, it wasn’t THAT hard. I just needed to be WITNESSED and VALIDATED. And held. But to get to a place in yourself where you are able to hold that kind of space without your own ego getting in the way does take hard work, and I know Rivky has done that work and continues to do it everyday - to be able to get to a place where healing is simple. The brilliance of the constellation is that I was not only witnessed by Rivky, but by all of the beautiful participants in the group. The group dynamic is the key to the true refuah. That itself is also an essay, but like I said - it is such a deep tool to unlock relational dynamics, such a brilliant modality in discovering MORE about yourself. At the end of the retreat, Rivky did an exercise in sharing one word to describe one another. For Rivky, I could not hold back choosing only one word. The three words I chose to describe who this brilliant radiant soul are: Leader. Poetry. Witness. Thank you for giving me my life back. It is so nice to meet me. I really freaking love her. She is freaking awesome. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life falling in love with the brilliance that is me.

EM

There are many "WOW's" on a retreat like this, but I'll try to put them into words for you. Sometimes, it can be challenging to see or explain the progress within myself, However, by looking around and witnessing the changes in the women around me, I see clear reflections of my own growth. One woman's eyes transformed from lost and unfocused to centered and determined. Another's walls. Once as strong as iron, slowly melted away as the hours passed. And a third, whose inner light shone brightly but was dimmed by her own doubts, suddenly broke through and radiated warmth to the entire room. The only risk here on the retreat is truly seeing, feeling, hearing, and knowing the truth. While the truth can be painful, lies hurt even more. One final note about Rivky: she's not here to heal you herself, but to guide you in healing yourself. That's the power of a true healer. It's not magic; it's about confronting what you've been hiding from. Rivky will show you that you can face it head-on and emerge not only whole, but grateful you finally did.

DW

The retreat was indescribable in a good way. I met more of my higher self. I somatically released so much pain and grief and anger and sadness. And my soul feels lighter. My breath, deeper. My surety, surer. It was glorious. And there's more surrender and certainty.

RM

I'm so deeply moved by all of your stunning unfoldings and deeper noticings from the retreat. I am in reverence and awe of your willingness to keep receiving and integrating. The work is working through my family constellation like wild fires consuming all that's been dead for so long, sweeping through to make space for all of the aliveness that is here now!! In my own intimate relationship. in my relationship with my children. in my friendships. And then a family member called me to share that chose TODAY to make more aligned choices for himself, and is coming into claiming himself through honesty and certainty. The words he shared with me are clear evidence of all the work we did to heal ourselves that is ultimately healing the world. Rivky. I am so humbled by the godliness that you channel, and by the certainty and humility that you hold of yourself to be the channel. The giving and receiving of the healing flow that I am experiencing in real time in all areas of my life. Lifnim meshurat hadin' is the magic that I am experiencing as reality! Thank you God! Thank you Rivky! Thank you to each of you! And thank you to myself!! For having the courage to feel and to heal!! I love you all so much!!

CB

How do you describe the weekend retreat? It was the gathering of beautiful women (so carefully and perfectly curated by Rivky) a constellation of connection, knowing, seeing, and healing. Where we learned so much about ourselves through witnessing others.  It felt holy and godly and also comforting and luxurious. Where laughter and tears both had their places and were honored and nurtured.  A beautiful cocoon with a magical frequency.  I am reveling in the transformations I experienced and witnessed and know I am forever changed from this experience.

TESTIMONIALS

If I could share the experience of the FOF retreat with the world, this is what I would say:
If you feel like you are micromanaging Hashem (God), bypassing and lacking faith, or doubting your worth or your desires in any way -- step into this container to gain the faith and trust that you are deserving. You will experience a miracle (or 2, or 12).

J

I feel like I am a changed human, and that was my prayer in joining the retreat. This knowing of myself. and my being. My breath feels deeper and lighter and more expansive and I am in awe. I am in utter awe. Of what I experienced and what I processed, and more importantly, Rivky, what I know will continue for me. And I am in deep, deep, deep gratitude. With so much love. Somebody just asked me, how would you compare the first retreat to the second? And I think the answer is more. More. More is possible.

AC

I'm still processing the beauty and wonder of the retreat. First off, The beauty - the stunning aesthetics. Sweet, delicate florals softening your heart. Soothing, gentle color schemes calming your nerves. Carefully curated menus, an abundance made with real love by Chani -wildly delicious, packed with flavor, herbs, and color. So delicious. The giggles, the laughter, the tears, the depth … The full spectrum of life. The beauty, the softness of sisterhood, being there for one another as each of us goes through our own process of letting go into life, just a little bit more. Becoming more alive. Becoming our truer selves. Witnessing each other, our lives, our stories-with such respect, awe, care, gentleness, and reverence-is breathtakingly healing. Rivky, may you be blessed with the deep love that you so freely give to me. I appreciate your kindness, and the way you see me for who I truly am. You are a holy messenger of God. I am forever grateful.

GB

I have been feeling weightless and free since the retreat. I had therapy with a loved one today and the energy shift was so clearly evident, in what we were able to transcend, without my defenses present. I am so grateful for the space and witnessing you each held for me!! I was able to give, to stay, to listen, to receive, and to hold my own in such a conscious, honest and healthy way…And it feels AMAZING!! Rivky, thank you for being such a stunning, humble conduit for Hashem and for embodying the energy of Aaron Hakohen who sought beach and ran after peace. Having peace within is what is allowing for the possibility for shalom to unfurl in my life, in real time!!

CF

I have been telling all that are willing to listen about this retreat because I  feel so profoundly transformed and realigned that it feels weird not to tell the people I interact with that I'm not the same me I was last week. 

RN

It is hard to put into words and experience that left me speechless multiple times.
The weekend retreat with Rivky was truly a transformative experience. Surrounded by incredible women, I felt an overwhelming sense of support and safety, creating a space where I could truly open up and heal. Rivky, a true angel of God, guided us with such love and wisdom, making each moment feel sacred. We shared laughter that lifted our spirits and tears that cleansed our hearts. I felt deeply reconnected to my soul , a gift I could not be more grateful for.

This week since the retreat feels like it’s been a month with the growth and shifts within my intimate relationship.

JC

Rivky ❤ Thank you for using you magical hands and beautiful compassionate heart to help heal this part of me. Thank you to each one of you at the retreat for making me feel protected and supported. Thank you that I feel lighter and luckier than ever before. I had a dramatic breakthrough post retreat that was so massive on the level of my body and physical healing. Thank you, Thank you. With deep CERTAINTY I know it’s connected. Healing even physically with CERTAINTY is a whole different experience. Thank you again and again!

What I loved so so so much about Rivky's retreat was how much of a release it was for my body and the immense amount of gratitude I've been able to tap into this week for all of ny life, which in turn helped me feel more love towards my creator and trust that just like he/she connected me to this experience. I now know in my body journey will always be filled with connection and I'll never be alone, even through the big, sometimes "confusing" feeling of life.

What I gained was beyond what I asked for. The depth of every human's heart is so deep that we don’t even know to wish for that.

As I settle back into life from the retreat. I just want to say a deeper THANK YOU!
It’s easier to breathe, easier to be. Rivky, thank you thank you thank you!

JV

 I keep thinking to myself, how I went on the retreat with the idea to pamper myself, just something to give myself that I never do. Unbeknownst to me, I walked out with the biggest gifts of life. While this morning's start looks like nothing is different, inside everything FEELS different. It's really in the small nuances and shifts of living that I'm sensing the new flow take reign.
I feel so calm.💛

RG

Rivky, thank you for using your magical hands and compassionate heart to help heal me. I feel lighter, luckier, and more supported than ever. Since the retreat, I’ve had a dramatic breakthrough, especially on a physical level. I know with certainty that this healing experience is connected. Thank you again!

You have opened a new realm for us; in which possibility and love is infinite - I am so excited to be standing here, in front of this beautiful amazing incredible life!

I left tev retreat with such a full heart, FULL of gratitude and love and respect for this experience and everyone on the retreat. This work is LEGIT!!!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience what can only be described as life-changing. I feel so real, I can't really put it into words. I'm excited to integrate what I've learned and practice it.

I am grateful to you Rivky! You have taught me how to expand my capacity to BE with so much love and compassion, for myself and others.

What I loved so so so much about Rivky's retreat was how much of a release it was for my body and the immense amount of gratitude I've been able to tap into this week for all of you, which in turn helped me feel more love towards my creator and trust that just like he/she connected me to all of you. My journey will always be filled with connection and I'll never be alone, even through the big sometimes "confusing" feeling of life.

I just wanted to share two of my friends that went to your retreat (I met them at a different retreat) and they were blown away!! They had such a magical time they said you are so beyond talented (not the right word to encapsulate it) and it was so beyond words! And Chani was an incredible cook and member and they could not stop talking and sharing! I'm really hoping to figure out how to make it work for me to come next time and just wanted to share their awe and amazing and how good they are still feeling.

Hi Rivky, I just want to share with you that I am reflecting now how one of my dreams beyond imagination you had us reply on the group chat before the retreat was "to be so comfortable in my own skin that I will be comfortable around my biological family. I called my mother today and shared that I was on a retreat to "heal my heart" something that isn't really my family's style. I am so comfortable with my heart so wide open that I shared and loved and connected on levels I had only dared to dream about. Thank you again for helping me actualizing dreams.

I'm still in the retreat frequency. All I want is people to know, this stuff is real and attainable.
Going into the second weekend after leaving your magical, mystical, gorgeous, knowing, and brave bubble and just know that the bubble lives within. Thank you for the gift of more. It was more than I hoped for and expected, yet I want more!

This retreat feels like we were in a secret garden.

My heart feels expansive, I’m feeling more open, more spacious, more in tune, and fully excited for the possibilities in the universe

Every day feels like another day of just sheer wonderment at the most grounded, yet otherworldly three days.

AF

Trying to put words to an experience that embodies resonance, soul connections, reverence, release, shedding, aliveness, holiness, honest, and healing of the deepest kind is not possible

LB

Infinity in form, that's how I would describe this retreat.
New layers keep unfolding and deepening. I can now grasp and sense infinity in form.

I am overcome with deep reverence to God by the beauty of his world and that this retreat exists. I feel God created this for me to have. I am seeing divinity with such great wonder. I feel so humbled.

Dearest Rivky, 

There are no words big enough to hold the gratitude in my heart for this life-changing, life-giving, soul-filling 5-day retreat that you dreamed into being and so lovingly birthed into this world. 

Rivky, you are the purest healer I know. The way you embody true humility—rooted in knowing exactly who you are, the power you carry, and where that power comes from—has taught me more than any words ever could. Just being in your presence lifted me into a new frequency, one I never want to let go of. 

This retreat was beyond anything I could have imagined. Every detail, every moment, every breath of those five days was crafted with such intention and heart. The beauty of the space, the sacredness of the circle, the music, the laughter, (you and chani brought soo much joy) the tears, the breakthroughs—all of it felt like stepping into a sanctuary for the soul. I left not only renewed, but expanded… carrying treasures that will ripple through my life forever.

May you be blessed to continue this holy work, to keep opening these portals of possibility, and to keep guiding more humans back home to themselves.

It is the deepest honor and privilege to call you my teacher, my role model, and my dear friend. I love you so much, and I am endlessly grateful.

All my love, forever and always, 

Estee

Is there really anything I can say to describe what this retreat was? 

It was the healing of healing. 

It was restoring trust in humanity.

Restoring the trust in myself. 

Restoring the trust in myself 

Restoring the trust in myself. Again. And again. And again.

It was The Embodiment of Self. 

For the first time in my life I am walking around focused, (despite my past ADD diagnosis) Intentional, Embodied in my power. I’m in connection and in a frequency I didn’t know existed.

 I’m experiencing Ohr Haganuz. Sometimes it’s with the feeling of being high on Joy as if I’m soaring in the clouds, and others it’s being high through the sadness and grief that I allow to pass through me. It’s being in oneness with my truthiest truths. 

I came out not just knowing the power of my soul and my essence theoretically, but embodying it. Living aligned with it. It shifted everything for me in more ways than I can put down. 

Rivky, I cannot ever thank you enough. You are a powerful messenger of HaShem for personal Geula. You are my Tzadik. May HaShem shower you with continued strength and brachos!

Hi Rivky,

This doesn't feel like enough of a testimonial to me, but this poetry popped into my head today, so I am sharing it with you regardless... I want to put all my emotions into an official testimonial sometime this week, iyH.

Here goes:

Sometimes all it takes is an embrace

Other times, permission to cry

Sometimes it's all about gentleness

Other times, the only way is stern love

To reignite the faith in one's heart.

For some, all it takes is ownership

For others, reawakening will

Some moments require certainty

At times, receiving is key

For the expression of the soul to finally be free

Some moments need music

Others, breath

Some moments need casual מוסר

Others, a deep gaze

For resonance to heal

For some, it's witnessing the grace

For others, it's feeling the trust

For some, it's experiencing the abundance

For others, it's reclaiming their power

That allows for transcendence to happen.

For Shmix to actually feel like Shmix!

Sometimes it's the quiet stillness

Other times it's the loud grief

Sometimes, it's letting go

Other times, it's the holding of hands

In mutual love

Of individual souls

Who yearn for that same Godly connection

But have their unique path.

All you need is Someone.

Someone who trusts.

Someone who senses.

Someone who believes

Someone who loves.

Someone who IS.

Someone named Rivky.

For she who loves knows

What

When

Where

And how to give

In any given moment, to any given soul

With unshakeable certainty in the truthiest truth of her fellow tzaddikim...

And then, only then, does the medicine land deep inside the purest corners of our Neshama and stirs a revolution of intimacy and oneness with ourselves and our creator. And from that place of infinity, where heaven meets earth, we co-create in loving harmony a creation of redemption.

Thank you, Hashem, for blessing me with an experience between souls. For letting me see the brilliance of my own. For sending me the angel I prayed for when I couldn't see the light, and the angel I am grateful to now when I do... 

If you didn't get it, Rivky, that's YOU.
