Description text goes here“I had the privilege of meeting Jeanne at a St. Hildegard workshop she put on for a small group of ladies at my house. It was such a rich and beautiful day for all of us. We learned so much nutritional and holistic information as we relaxed with our feet soaking in a detox foot bath all the while enjoying wonderful healthy snacks and meals that she made (and also taught us how to make with some fun hands-on)! Since then, she has continued to support me and has become one of my biggest companions in my own health journey as I tackle thyroid cancer through this natural and holistic lifestyle. She's shared with me many food recipes, nutritional advice, and got me started on these plant-based supplements that are changing many peoples lives for the better. My energy has certainly increased and I feel better now than I've probably felt for the last 10 years. I am blessed each time I get to speak with her--her faith and positivity are inspiring! Jeanne has truly been a gift from God for me!”

The Church gave us St. Hildegard as a Doctor of the Church for this specific time and circumstances in our world. St. Hildegard encourages us that even in a world that is being ship-wrecked, we are to remain brave and strong. And her ancient teachings, now scientifically verified, give us the tools to fortify our bodies, renew our minds, and spiritually strengthen our selves and one another.

Prior to this retreat I knew Hildegard and had read her books and many others about her, but my Cathedral of the Woods experience invited me to dig so much deeper and learn how to truly incorporate her divine wisdom into my daily life. This was a profoundly life-changing experience! More than that, it has created a true community of “hildegardians” who continue to support, inspire, and encourage one another on a shared mission to spread Hildegard’s teachings and usher in new time for holiness and wholeness in our world!

This retreat is truly a spa for the soul and opportunity to dive into the depths of divine wisdom while praying, laughing, and walking in a natural beauty and enjoying delicious wholesome meals along with lively conversation.

I am so grateful to Jeanne, whose embrace of St. Hildegard not only healed her from cancer, but inspired her to become a certified holistic nutritionist and passionate ambassador for sharing Hildegard’s healing wisdom so others can experience viriditas in their own lives!

Our Cathedral of the Woods Immersion Experience was one of the most powerfully transformative experiences of both of our lives! We truly believe that it’s the effective antidote to this cultural and health crisis we find ourselves in at this point in history.

The sacred and peaceful grounds of the Sycamore Tree Retreat Center enhanced the experience for our family to enter to the ‘school of silence’ and prepare our hearts to receive the timeless teachings and transforming wisdom divinely revealed to St. Hildegard of Bingen. Through Jeanne’s beautiful and inspiring meals and presentation we learned in just a matter of hours practical strategies on how to detoxify, nourish, and fortify our bodies, minds, and souls. Receiving and experiencing Hildegard’s vision for integrated wholeness and true human flourishing has left a powerful and lasting impact!

Jeanne is a phenomenal teacher and a living witness to the efficacy of Hildegard’s principles. After serious health crisis and dire prognosis in her own life, Jeanne absolutely transformed her own health to flourishing health, vitality, vibrancy by applying Hildegard’s wellness principles. She is living breathing proof they work. This experience is an absolute must for all who desire to live the words of Jesus, “I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.” (Jn 10:10)
