Back on US ground.
Reflection on what the past 12 days showed me.
Stepping into this role wasn't new. I'd done a couple of retreats before, gradually believing a little more with each one of my capabilities. It wasn't until the venue manager called me 'Retreat Leader' that I even considered myself one, a leader that is.
Isn't that ironic? I acknowledge I lead students in Yoga Rooms, I lead people with Coaching sessions, but for some reason 🤔 my inner psyche didn't even consider believing that in this environment, I was a leader.
This is not to say I am on a pedestal, I much prefer to stay humble with my feet on the ground. The reality is I learned so much about myself on this trip, that I felt more like a student than anything.
This journey, the one we are all on, is always opening us to more of who we really are. What that takes is a discerning eye into the disbeliefs we've gotten comfortable with over time. To clear our 'citta' of self doubt, so we can root ourselves with more power, strength, and grace in places, we were always meant to stand in.
"She is ideas, feelings, urges, and memory. She has been lost and half forgotten for a long, long time. She is the source, the light, the night, the dark, and daybreak. She is the smell of good mud and the back leg of the Fox. The birds which tell us secrets belong to her. She is the voice that says, 'This way, this way.'" - Women Who Run With The Wolves
There is always a journey brewing within us fueled by curiosity.....
The next retreat location announced soon! Until then, stay curious 🙏💕💫
