The Power of a Retreat to Heal your Weary Soul
(Part 2)
‘The Soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond and must be polished or the lustre of it will never appear’ (Daniel Defoe)
So here is Part 2 of my Blog on ‘The Power of a Retreat to Heal your Weary Soul’ and I’d like to begin by drawing your attention to the fact that we are all only human and not super-human – although I think sometimes we can think that we are by carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders!! I want to start with the truth that we are’ imperfect human beings struggling to be that perfect unattainable one’ and I am sure you will agree with what I’ve said here.
Both – And
I want you to remind you again of that simple truth – we are all flawed and are going to make mistakes and get life wrong!! We will all experience pain, uncertainty, loneliness and fear in our life. When you stop denying your flaws and imperfections and own them, you can then shift your focus to all that’s good and growing in you. You can then commit to nurturing your talents, skills and abilities. Remember you are also compassionate, loving, creative, talented and unique – you are all of that. Both-And. On my Retreats, there is no problem about allowing your vulnerability to be seen and shared – you can be you and how love is that!!!
Break out
If your intention is to begin to change your life, my Retreats for Women can help you to break out of the rut (did you know that rut = a shallow grave?) (if that’s how it feels to you) you’re in while you’re focussing totally on you. You will be nurtured, challenged and supported by me (and the other women) as I have already been through this growth process myself and I eventually came to that place of acceptance of myself.
Inner Confidence
I will be enabling you to make changes from the inside out, and helping you to come out of the box you have kept yourself in. By turning inwards, the loving, creative, talented and specialness of you can be allowed to be seen and this inner confidence will enable you to be comfortable with you. You can allow yourself to face the world head on – lift your head up, stand tall and show that beautiful you to one and all.
Gift
Remember you only have one life to live and what better way than to give yourself the gift of coming on my Residential Retreats. These will enable you to start making your forgotten dreams a reality. It is never too late to find the courage to do something for yourself and especially nurture your weary soul.
As you grow and become aware, you feed your Soul and bring the lustre back as you acknowledge that we are all miracles just as life itself is truly a miracle. It is a wonderful world we are part of regardless of some of the cruel and nasty happenings in it.
Getting Somewhere
Being on your Soul Journey is a very long process and the paradox is that it’s not about getting somewhere. It’s about re-connecting with You. Remember that so much more of you is available and so much more is possible. And the results can last a lifetime. Therefore, I salute you – you are more than enough – you are wonderful for simply being YOU.
I am a mature, well experienced facilitator, who will give you time for quiet reflection, personal growth learning, laughter and time for what women do best – sharing their stories with other women.
