We had a magical first weight management retreat June 20-23, over the summer solstice and a full moon. Not only was the timing of the retreat auspicious, but participants also had their own tales of synchronicity about becoming aware of this opportunity at just the right time in just the right way. I love it when the synergy of a supportive endeavor and environment combines with individuals to expand and enrich the experience.

The metaphor that best fits this experience is a “Magic Carpet Ride!” There was an energy that carried us with intention, but the direction we took was synergistic of the group as a whole. It was very dynamic with a dose of trust and being committed to a mindset or knowing that it will all work out in the end. And it did, often in ways much better than planned.

We are grateful to have shared this transformative experience with these wise women, and to have learned and gained so much in return. It is truly a statement about the healing capacity of connection, showing up as honest as possible at this age and stage, and being witnessed.

We spent time discussing key topics at depth, finding new ways to move (e.g., strength training, games, kayaking, etc.), and other non-verbal endeavors (e.g., ember burn bowls, art therapy).

Thank you 🙂
