Connection is a Life Force

Life teaches us through relationships of all sorts. Relationships with our education, our vocations, jobs, family, pals, and through all of this, we are given the opportunity to deeply know ourselves. And then, even better, accept  ourselves.

I go hot and cold with parts of me. Ha! Some of me is so easy to love and like and be comfortable with. And then the other parts— the spiky, the soft, vulnerable, dark parts… the parts that need extra attention , but hide until they are poked—Oh boy… That’s where the work comes in.

Thank you for the mentors who have lovingly and bravely partnered with me on this growth pattern. Thank you to the humans and experiences that have taught me through darkness that I have a powerful light and that my vulnerability and truth are necessary fuels for my voyage; Clarity arises and so does contentment….aahhh.

Facilitating sacred circles, hundreds, and hundreds of hours of yoga, counseling, my boys, my dear friends of all ages… my art and my quest for more emotional freedom, have all been light posts along the way. I have discovered that the Universe holds me; not only does she have my back, but I am held by her. I have learned to give myself permission to be held… to rest… to muster-up, again, the fuel for the next leg of the journey.

During our Spring retreat, I will share how I discovered true rest as we create our sacred circle and bond. I will share how I discovered the intoxicating resilience rest allowed me. Sometimes I’m a slow learner; not this time.

And you will share your stories and your tools. We will all grow. We will all recognize our divine similarities and patterns and gifts and zest. We are better for gathering. We are better for investing in ourselves in holistic ways.

We are comrades in arms.

Art creates a freedom that we don’t always allow ourselves. We will play with this.

Retreats create a space to be held while we re-fuel.

Yoga reminds us of how we create our own safety and expansion by “limiting” our bodies to a rectangular mat….while our minds rest and our bodies open.

Connection is a life force. And this retreat will hold space for all of this.

I love you. It’s easy. You are my teachers.

Namaste
