Yesterday I found an old journal
from my days living my European adventure very specifically from my time in Livorno, Italy. Within this journal there was a memory of a time many years ago (too many years ago really) I had the great fortune of going on a retreat to a magical place just outside of Assisi in the Umbria region. There was yoga, meditation and space for journal writing. There were silent prayers before meals prepared by loving hands. And no rushing, no hurrying just allowing ourselves to receive the gift of being nurtured. There were verdant hillsides and vibrant rainbows of wild flowers calling to us with sweet voices "Come!" they said, "lay down here and drink in our beauty in the sun" And we did. We returned to our 'normal' lives refreshed, renewed and ready to continue our journeys being mothers, wives, soldiers and aerobic instructors So this morning I check in to see what the lovely Jamie Ridler had for us to Wishcast for this Wednesday. What dreams are you wishing for? she asks I'm wishing these dreams of retreat were no longer just dreams I'm wishing to take these dreams of retreat and use them as a spring board to create my own retreat for myself at first And then offer a retreat for others like me who need the healing energies of being nurtured, silence,verdant hillsides and vibrant rainbows of flowers. 18/5/2011 01:05:36
As you wish for yourself, I also wish for you. If you would like to read mine, find it here:
Ok, I'm TOTALLY in!! I've never been on a retreat like the one you described, and it would be my idea of HEAVEN on Earth!! I've seen "Yoga Retreats" or "Spiritual Retreats" advertized. But most of the time they are way too cost prohibitive - like in the thousands of dollars. Oh, to have one that was close enough to get to and financially possible!! 18/5/2011 07:18:47
Oh the thought of a soothing, nurturing retreats sounds oh so good! 18/5/2011 19:05:00
Gorgeous idea of a retreat. Comments are closed.
