Trip Testimonials

“I recently returned from the Grace in Nature retreat that took place in the Sacred Valley. Although one may think of this as simply a trip or a vacation, I consider it a profound experience. It is hard to explain the significance of visiting the ancient ruins of Pisaq, Moray and Machu Picchu. Each day I had the opportunity to learn about the ancient civilizations and the current life in Peru. Our guides on this adventure were open and caring about Peru and the lessons it has to offer. The accommodations were wonderful and the itinerary was full but not overwhelming. When I reflect on this trip, one casual after dinner event that keeps coming to mind was the viewing the night sky, the stars of Southern Hemisphere, with a local astronomer. It was breath taking to see the Milky Way bookended by the Andes. Karen and Gina guided our group, which became a family through all of our time in Peru. It was an experience of a lifetime and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have shared it with such wonderful people. I would recommend this adventure for all!”

"I have had the honor of joining Grace In Nature on 4 retreats so far. I was always someone that traveled solo or with one other person. I never thought I would enjoy traveling with a group. I could not have been more wrong! What Karen offers in her retreats is something I never would have been able to accomplish on my own. First of all, Karen is possibly the KINDEST person I have ever met. I do believe that she attracts some pretty amazing people to join her on these adventures. Not only are the other guests amazing, but Karen has a way of finding the most incredible accommodations, locations and guides for her trips. Life has gotten very busy and the idea of planning the kind of travel that Karen plans seems extremely daunting. I love that I just show up and fully trust that I am going to have an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. I would never be able to plan all of this on my own. The time, dedication and love that Karen puts into planning these trips is palpable. It is the perfect blend of excursions and time to explore or relax on your own. I can’t imagine traveling any other way. I would and do recommend a Grace in Nature retreat to EVERYONE! To top it all off I have met the most wonderful travel friends. It truly feels like a travel family. It speaks to how incredible these trips are, so many of the travelers are repeat customers. I have been on trips where a first time guest is booking their next retreat on the spot because they are having such an amazing time. I could go on forever about how much I love these trips. I am eternally grateful that I met Karen and have been able to explore the world with Grace in Nature!"

"Over the past decade, I have taken numerous trips organized by Karen Score and Graceinnature, LLC (India, Alaska, Costa Rica, Bermuda, Portugal). Every experience has been a feast for mind, body and soul. Our most recent adventure to Peru was truly exceptional. Karen always finds the most beautiful and interesting places to stay like a Shangri-La in the desert or a restored mansion in an old city center. Always a perfect balance of R&R and excursions that educate and entertain; always great food and interesting travel companions. This trip had a pilgrimage quality to it, enhanced by a wonderful guide who invited us to open up to the possibility of awe and grace in such a beautiful place. Thanks, Karen, for all you do to made these experiences so extraordinary!"

"I just came back from a Grace in Nature Retreat in Peru. Several of my friends have been on Karen's trips and have raved about them so I was overdue to take one of them and I have to admit that the superlatives definitely apply. In fact, one friend has said, "Why would you travel with anyone else?" I took the trip without knowing anyone other than Karen so it was a little intimidating at first but I felt included every step of the way. The way the trip was structured was brilliant, including a quick tour of Lima during our 2 days there. Also 6 days at a state of the art retreat center in the Sacred Valley with yoga (if desired) taught by a fabulous instructor and tours of various Incan Ruins - with our peak experience at Machu Picchu. It doesn't get any better than this.....I highly recommend any tour Karen leads. She is a remarkable woman who is attentive to all details and makes everyone feel welcome."

"This was my 2nd trip with GRACEINNATURELLC.COM and from start to finish, the experience has been exceptional with not one complaint.This recent trip to the beautiful country of Peru was so exceptional it will be worth repeating. Grace In Nature planned out a 12 day adventure that experienced some of the best travel, food, and culture that the country of Peru has to offer. The spiritual magical connection with the land, mountains, and people of Peru were accentuated by connections made within the small Grace In Nature group of 14 people that was all made possible by the experience and considerate and deliberate detailed planning of Karen Score, owner of Grace In Nature, LLC. Traveling on Grace In Nature trips has left me with incredibly fond memories of countries, their people, communities, and culture and of course, wanting more."
