Hi Everyone!

Please forgive me for not posting something in this topic sooner... it has been incredibly busy here since I got back from the retreat. I'll never understand how it is possible to get an entire week behind in work from taking just one day off, but here I am, 4 days later and just now managing to catch up.

There is always a desire to say a lot of words after these retreats, but somehow when I go to say them, nothing comes out. All the words just seem so petty compared to the experience. Truly, for me, the power and beauty of the retreats are always beyond words.... and this one was no exception.

There was a massive shift here on Tuesday due to the retreat (and an acupuncture appointment on Monday evening) and I am still integrating what has changed so I am not yet prepared to put words to it, but suffice it to say, *something* has dropped/shifted/changed. This is how it usually goes for me after these retreats and why it's important to stress the need to ease ourselves back into daily activity after a retreat. Unfortunately that is not always possible (as it wasn't for me this time) but things always seem to sort themselves out if we choose not to fight it and just stay open to the flow of Life.

I feel truly honored to have been a part of this retreat and to feel like I have 16 new family members (Katrine already knew she was family

). May we all continue to open and unfold together.

Love!

Hello, well here goes my first post! I am so grateful for all of u from this weekends retreat! Thx u for taking the time to get to know u so u could share. I have come away from this experience just that much wiser to the potential within. I have been faithful in my twice daily practice as I want this to be a `habit` formed in my daily life. I already have been `feeling` the difference. How did Carson put it, trust the emergance..love it! Ive been workin on that one for a few years nowwell I am at work but just wanted to make sure before I go away for the weekend(another meeting of like minded peeps) I joined & responded to our experience. Thank you all for sharing time with me. Love Mel
