Join Me on Retreat

When I have an experience of unwanted emotions…maybe it's shame, grief, fear, or the almostness of knowing something that I haven't been ready to know…I need courage to see it, be with it, allow it in fully and completely.

It’s not always easy to find courage in these moments. When I hear and witness your courage to be with what is unacceptable or terrifying to you, I can feel my own well of courage being filled up and restored. When I witness you in your deep vulnerability, in your free fall into the abyss of annihilation or devastation, I go with you off that cliff and am strengthened by this experience. I know that you will survive, and so will I.

And when I share my own fear with you and truly feel seen, I know that I will be okay. In fact, there's a greater portal to a greater okayness when this fear is witnessed by you and there is a greater willingness to go to my own depths to open the locked doors in my own being when you unlock yours.

This is what we do when we sit together on retreat, we move around in our own psyches, seeing what wants to be seen and feeling what wants to be felt, what needs our own attunement and unconditional love. And then we share with each other from this vulnerable and open hearted space and inspire each other and transform each other.

We need each other right now. We need to enter these spaces in ourselves and we need to connect in these spaces with each other. It is the medicine of our time in our isolated lives to see and be seen, to hold and be held.
