Oh to Retreat together

It’s a very special feeling retreating with a group of women.

We land in a beautiful space, we weave in yoga, we meditate, we sometimes dance waves, maybe trance barefoot through the forest, we learn about ourselves, we eat nourishing foods from the land. All wonderful ingredients. The essence of it all? Being, there’s nothing to do but receive. Being held when it’s normally you doing all the holding. Being nurtured when it’s normally you doing all the nurturing.

I feel so lucky to witness what evolves over the days we spend together. Watching eyes become sparkly, bodies soft yet tall and aliveness shine through. Some of the best things to witness? The connections that blossom. Hugs more frequent, tighter and longer. A force between the group that remains on even as we part ways.
