I am moving forward with my dream of leading retreats!! I desire to give people opportunities to reconnect ..... with themselves, with the Divine and with Nature. It seems that our busy world is only getting busier, crazier, and at times seems out of control. We can feel that way in our own individual lives and it takes us away from our divine nature, our purpose and what really matters. Getting caught up in the dramas, busyness and fears may be difficult to avoid. That is why it is crucial that we find ways to reconnect and strengthen our state of beingness.

I am happy to announce that I have two retreats scheduled. The first is a Nature Speaks weekend horse camping adventure, March 26 - 28. This awesome retreat includes 12 hours of horseback riding, camping in a private, remote setting full of wildlife and experiential exercises to help people tune in to themselves. We will have time for sharing around the campfire, letting go of whatever needs to go from our lives and transforming the old into possibilities for the future. We will be ending with a cattle drive that will help to integrate what we have gained from this experience into action. I am doing this retreat with Rachel Ibarra. We have the vision of bringing people into nature and in connection with horses as a way to heal and grow. We will be planning other events using horses or getting out in nature in a kayak or hiking. I am fortunate to have Rachel to share in this dream. She has a love of animals that is so inspirational and she is experienced with all kinds of outdoor activities. Her presence helps people feel safe in the outdoors and she inspires them to really connect with horses and wildlife.

"A dream of mine for many years"

My next retreat "miracles in nature healing intensive retreat" has been a dream of mine for many years. It is coming into being now due to my friend, Debi, who owns a retreat lodge in Tennessee. Since I have been leading Radical Forgiveness workshops for 10 years, I have wanted to provide that experience in a setting where people can be pampered, get away from their daily life and spend quality time engaged in the healing process. I feel that a big part of my life purpose is to work with people who have some challenging life conditions in which to heal from. I want to give people the time and attention they need to work through the pain of the past and transform the energy so they can feel vital and whole again.

The miracles in nature healing intensive retreat is planned for April 26 thru May 1. It includes the Radical Forgiveness Miracles weekend workshop as well as the Radical Manifestation workshop. Participants will also have individual appointments and massage or reiki as well as experiences in nature.

This retreat has been a dream of mine but it is one that I am co-creating with Spirit. The Divine is showing up everywhere as I move forward. Since Debi has this amazing lodge in the mountains, I planned a retreat last summer to explore the idea of holding healing retreats there. After inviting many people I know in the healing profession, it ended up being 5 women that attended. Celeste, Debi, Shari, Regina and me. As we proceeded with the retreat it became apparent that the five of us were meant to run this together.

We all have gifts and talents that make up the whole of the experience. Spirit was so present during that trip that we felt very inspired to keep going. One aspect that I needed to move forward on, was to be updated by Colin Tipping regarding the Miracles weekend workshop. I took the training 10 years ago and he has made many changes in how he leads that workshop. I hadn’t had the money to take this workshop again, which was holding me back from moving forward. I had planned a trip to Tennessee the first week in November and I got a call from Colin, just before my trip, saying he was coming down with a cold and asked if I would be a back up for his Miracles workshop that weekend. His workshop was in northern Georgia (on the way to Tennessee) so it worked out perfectly for me to be there, have my expenses paid and be updated on the changes. When I got to Tennessee I was able to schedule the date with Debi and plan out the details of the retreat. I am excited about presenting the new Miracles workshop in this venue.

There are many other coincidental experiences that have helped move this idea along. I am grateful to Celeste who has encouraged me always and thrilled to have her be a part of it, by offering massage and reiki. Debi is inspired to use her lodge as a place of healing and growth and wants to make sure people are well cared for. Shari and I have a friendship that has developed quickly due to what I would call some mind blowing spiritual experiences. It can only mean that we need to move forward on this idea. Shari will be assisting with the workshop and leading the manifestation piece. Regina and I got a chance to hike together in Georgia, in 2007, and discussed our mutual dream of including healing work with experiences in nature. Since then Regina has pursued her passion of thru hiking and has completed the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Benton MacKaye in the past few years. I’m excited to have Regina be a part of this retreat and believe it will be leading to more adventures in the future.

You can find the details of these retreats on the website and sign up to be on the email list for upcoming events. My focus is to offer experiences for people to reconnect with their true nature and bring these qualities into this world. Currently I lead a meditation class in my office on Wednesday evenings which allows time for that connection in the middle of the week for a small fee. I am also leading a half day Radical Forgiveness workshop March 6. This is a powerful healing workshop that is experiential yet allows for privacy in that people do not have to share personal information. So there is something offered for everyone concerning their needs and their budget.

I am clearly living my purpose and inspired to assist others in making their dreams come true!
