Another amazing Womenâs Retreat. It however did not exactly start out that way, at least not for me it didnât. Letâs just say Friday was a rough one which landed me on the bathroom floor in a complete panic of how I was going to provide safe space for these women coming in when I couldnât find that safety for myself. Yup! I was a mess for many personal reasons I wonât dump out here, but we all know what itâs like to struggle. So what happened? Well, as always the God of my world delivered the most perfect group of women to my doorstep. They were jusy like me!!!! Yup!!! I had quite the anxious bunch this weekend. And my only prayer and desire was to get through the weekekd without breaking down, anything in addition would be a bonus. I think this was their prayer for themselves as well. These women came in so anxious. They struggled to find ground Friday. Saturday morning was rough, lots of panic and tears especially after breath/body work. I could see the anxiety, could feel it. So, we proceeded with RAIN. Not that kind of rain, although it did rain all weekend and was absolutely perfect. No RAIN-Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture. We kept it real simple. âLadies, all you need to do this weekend is give yourselves full permission to nurture your needs. If you want to come to group, then come to group. If you want to go for the hike then go for the hike. If you want to go to bed then go to bed. If you want to eat great, if you donât, then dont. If you want to drive your own car, then do it:)â I watched these women come in with such harsh inner critics and such heavy expectations of themselves. And as permission was granted for them to be completely authentic, as messy as that might look like, I watched their anxiety shift and fade. And as I leaned into holding space for them to be able to relax and release, my own anxiety and fears shifted. Saturday morning I woke up to the word âUnwrittenâ. I knew immediately what this meant. My future is a bit unknown right now. The blank page before me not yet written. This gave me great peace in knowing that I have full permission to simply allow the story to unfold. There is no pressure to write the next page. And there is no timeline to it either. That was my theme for the weekend was to lean into the excitement of the unknown. Grieve the losses, feel the pain and suffering, but know that there is a future ahead that is unwritten and how we choose to move forward body mind and soul will determine what comes next on those blank pages. These women shifted so eloquently into relaxation by saturday night. We watched a light funny movie because that is what we needed. Sunday we met together and closed out our time together by sharing our desires and visions for what is next. We laughed. We cried. We communed together as one healing body.
We all have a story. We all have a past. We have a present and what we tend to forget is that we also have a future. How we care for ourselves today, what choices we make will determine how that future gets written. Thank you beautiful ladies as always for blessing me with your presence and most important, your authenticity. Thank you for trusting me with your precious bodies, intricate minds and miraculous souls. I love what I get to do. No matter what is going on in my life, communing with other like minded individuals has always been such a gift that brings me so much peace, love and joy. That is truly all I want in this life đđ
From my soul to yours
Namaste beautiful new friends
May God bless you, may God protect you, may God provide you with peace love and joy always and forever.
