- Great vegetarian food—hearty and delicious

"This was my third weekend in six months at The Expanding Light. Each time I have learned a little more about myself and what is truly important to me. This time was very special because my husband and I experienced the weekend together. We have been married for 28 years and feel like newlyweds again."
