What is here and how can I be with it ?
Something we asked ourselves on the most beautiful retreat hosted by Katiewhiteyoga.
Nestled in a valley held by woodland covered hills, filled with the most beautiful flowers, we embarked on a 5 day journey.
A journey towards presence, a journey inward with curiosity and love into all those corners of our being that we can shut down or overlook through distraction or control.
But what happens when you start to loosen control, start to soften to what is ?
I found alignment with the birds. I stilled my mind, started writing poetry ( who would have thought !?) and I saw hearts ♥️ everywhere - in cloud form, stones, food. What does it all mean ? I don’t know… but I am starting to learn that freedom is on the other side of control. Love appears when you most need it. The birds ( swifts and swallows ) are free and agile. They flow with what is.
A beautiful group of people, long sweet spells of sacred silence, movement, stillness, meditations to the rising sun and some joyful singing and dancing.
What was there and how was I with it ? With every cell of my body, present, alive to it all ( the light and the dark) and grateful for this body, this incredible earth and for this ride called life.
Thank you 🙏🏻 yoga, thank you Katie our amazing guide and thank you to a wonderfully inspiring group of gals. 💕 May you continue to be awake to what is here, right here right now.
