I’ve been to a bazillion trainings. But this past week with Alicia was the first time I’ve been on a retreat that was designed for renewal.

I was fed by the ocean, deep connection with others, yoga, meditation, and sound healing…and quite literally with amazing food.

The retreat was held partially in silence, which was a lovely way to balance inward and outward nurturing. There was movement and stillness, laughter and tears.

There was deep growth and healing.

And I got to share it all with my soul’s dearest friend, Wendy.

Life was VERY life-y when I got back (BAM!), so I am deeply grateful for a full cup to meet it.

May we all have our cups filled in both large and small ways so we can meet Life with presence and compassion.
