I love the idea of using nature’s wisdom around retreating. She’s resting… why shouldn’t we? For the sake of Balance, in a crazy, mixed up world, I really advocate taking time for yourself while the natural world is sleeping. Give yourself the chance to rejuvenate, to get quiet and listen to your most authentic voice, to touch into the sweetness that lies at your core. I offer my Spa for the Soul Retreat in the most peaceful surroundings - the Canyon of the Ancients in southwest Colorado. Here, in the silent presence of the Native American ancestors, we spend a weekend uncovering and reconnecting with all the special things that are unique about us. We meet our Future Self, a wise mentor, who can offer guidance and support. And through a powerful process, we creatively discover and articulate our Life’s Purpose - not the ‘doing’ self but who we are when we just BE who we were meant to be. That, along with art and dance and meditation. It’s all happening in early February, at the time when the natural world is just beginning to feel a quickening. Not awake yet, not blooming yet, but the visions of dreams desired can be accessed and learned from. I love the quiet, the sinking down underneath the regular day to day world buzzing in my ears, to find myself again in the magic of winter.
