I felt exhausted from events in my personal life and from taking on too much work. Whilst I love my job I could see I was taking on more to numb my pain from other events and ended up emotionally and spiritually exhausted! I could feel a pull to your retreat for a much-needed pause – to reset, to be, to find myself again, to grieve and to get in alignment with me. Life is full of unknowns and is consistently changing. Deep down I love that, it’s what makes me feel alive. I love the twists and turns and possibilities. I could feel a real shift from letting go of the grey, sterile perspective of control and of black and white, to dancing and playing in the shifting dance of life – and appreciating all the possibilities and opportunities that come with it. I loved reconnecting with the energy of nature and learning so many deep ways to come back to myself, to come back to life. I’m already doing so much differently. I’m living in the rhythm of my body, of my soul and listening into what’s important to me. As cliche as it may sound I’m viewing and defining fulfilment from my heart rather than from my head. The concepts of ‘Success’ and ‘failure’ are not present for me now, as they don’t make sense or have a place in this perspective. I’ve added some more elements to my daily rituals and am exploring the possibilities of adding a few more.
