We continue to be amazed and grateful that the exact right people show up to each of our retreats, and by the unique synergy of each group. This last retreat at the Alisal Ranch in Santa Barbara wine and horse country, was no exception.  We focused the retreat on harvest given the time of year.  Through workshops led by the otherworldly energy healer Naada Guerra, and brilliant intuitive acupuncturist Gianna de la Torre, we clarified our desires, released any limiting beliefs blocking the way, and actualized making our truest desires REAL now.

To balance all of the metaphysical, emotional and intellectual processing, we also embraced what harvest literally means in nature through stomping on grapes, sipping wines, eating delicious foods, horseback rides through hills and valleys, and reveling in chilly fall temps (fires and sweaters, yes please!).

We're blessed to have such a powerful, vibrant and nurturing community of women.  Thank you for being part of the tribe!  You are all that you desire to be.  And then some.

One quote we all found inspiring is this one by Marianne Williamson:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Shine your light, people!  xoxo
