Seeing the World With Fresh Eyes: Through Your Own Lens®

Exhausted by the never-ending news cycle? Finding yourself more fearful and anxious than ever? Struggling to maintain a relationship that has fractured because of misaligned values? Overwhelmed with economic and ecological dread?

You are not alone.

This level of uncertainty is challenging even the most practiced decision-makers.

The complexity and speed of change is breathtaking—literally. I’ve noticed that my breath gets short and shallow when I come face-to-face with the scope of injustice and willful inhumanity I’m observing, and the underlying belief systems and values that drive them.

In short, friends, it’s a shit-show out there. We need the skills and tools to navigate an increasingly unfamiliar world without losing our connection with each other, our tender hearts, or our powerful minds, all while preserving our life-affirming sense of humor, raucous snort-laughter, radiant joy, and irreverent observations.

On September 27 & 28, I’ll be teaming up for the first time with yogini and somatic therapist Jessie Rhines for a creative retreat that combines the mindset-shifting power of the Through Your Own Lens^® self-discovery process with a sense of inner knowing that comes from the wisdom of your own body.

Let me say a thing about that.

I envy those of you who are naturally in touch with what your body knows.  I am not one of them.  Or I wasn’t until I recently began to do the work of trusting what my body has been trying to tell me, in the care of a somatic therapy practitioner. I was afraid that I’d hear nothing from my body, which I’ve taken for granted my entire life, and then where would I be? I was sure I’d fail at uncovering anything, much less what I need in the moment.

Come to find out, the body’s language is subtle, and our minds can obscure what we are meant to see clearly. We sometimes need a gentle hand to guide us toward translating all the messages.

And the messages are life-changing.

And they are always there waiting for us to notice them.

Let’s refocus on letting go of what we thought our lives would be like right now, grieving the losses that have come with it, and learning to rely on our gifts to live in alignment on the outside with what’s true inside.

Refresh your perspective in the company of soulful women and skillful guides who will change how you feel about your place in the world. Join us for a retreat that will ease your mind, re-acquaint you with your body, and soothe your soul.
