Working through our grief often puts us in a state I like to call "functioning mode". We do the things we need to do, arrange all necessities and work our way through the day by tick lists (at best). We can feel like being on auto-pilot, not truly "within ourselves". It requires us to come back to centre to regain a feeling of empowerment & being in charge of our daily lives.

When you address your pain, in particular emotional pain, we can release a lot of it through shifting our mindset, changing our perspectives, attending counselling sessions and create action plans. All of which are great tools to navigate us through our daily healing journey. Yet there is often pain hidden underneath, on a deeper, cellular level that needs to be released. It requires bodywork to literally "shake it off" and set it free.

When we release pain on a deep level, we need to reconnect to our roots. Roots are what strengthens us when the storm hits us. The deeper and stronger our roots the less we get shaken by the storm. It feels quite sacred establishing this connection, allowing the strength from within to connect to the strength from our planet, Mother Earth. Nurturing, protective and ancient strength. A feeling of empowerment returns to your core!

Once we have re-established this connection, we can allow our inner guidance to take over. We all have it within. Some call it intuition, some gut feeling, instinct or inner voice. I like calling it my inner guidance. It's like an instant knowing of what I need to do (or not to do!). I'd like to awaken that within you, teach you how to listen to it with some very simple exercises that you can use "on the go", practically each day.

When our loved ones pass it is mostly the circumstances around their passing we talk about or get asked about for a long time. It is now time to celebrate our loved ones for who they are in our lives, what role they play and what outstanding memories they left us with. Not only that... we will unpack and share the "hidden gifts" we have received throughout our adversity. I want to give your Super-Stars their time to shine upon all of us! We will sit under the stars around the fireplace [so weather permits] to share some very precious moments.

Once you arrive at the Retreat [we invite you to do so the night before, at no extra costs to you] there will be a little welcome gift awaiting you, just to make it even more memorable. I like spoiling my guests. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!
