Tanya Cole-Lesnick and Kris Knoll
Our intention for every Enchanted Odyssey Retreat is to offer the opportunity for women to gather in different locations throughout the year. Each one with its own special magic.
About
Enchanted Odyssey Retreats was created by Tanya Cole-Lesnick and Kris Knoll, who both dreamed of running beautiful and enriching retreats for years before meeting at a women’s retreat in Tuscany.
They were inspired to create retreats built out of welcoming safe spaces for women to explore and unravel the threads that weave through their lives. Together, they envisioned retreats that would connect women through magical journeys, creative experiences, and play; to allow women time to rediscover their true selves, to create a portal through which new stories can be written and new tapestries can be woven.
