Previous Participants Say…
I am still feeling the healing power of the Shamanic Retreat for Women you held us in last weekend. Surely this is 7 fold! The medicine wheel, journeying, and sacred fire circles are such powerful tools for any era and especially now as women emerge and are reaching out with their strength. Thank you so much and I would be interested in another retreat like it in the future. –Nanri
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for setting up such a wonderful women’s retreat this past weekend. I know you worked so hard to put it together. It was such a heartfelt, profound experience and I feel so grateful that I have connected with you and all the women at the retreat this weekend. Thank you so much for providing such a safe, powerful, supportive space to listen and learn from one another. I am so looking forward to doing more of these retreats – I feel like it was an experience that I have been really missing in my life and can’t wait to be part of more in the future. Again, my gratitude and thanks for such a special weekend!! – Heather
Several friends and family members have asked how my retreat was and every time I described what I experienced, I felt myself undercutting the profound magnitude of it all because I couldn’t find the right words in that moment — or any moment. I get overwhelmed when I have to gather my experience into an intelligible bouquet of words. The English language doesn’t quite have the right words to describe what I felt and experienced in those 3 short days and I am plagued by the worry my synopsis will never sound as far reaching as the experience truly was for me. Perhaps because the adventure touched my soul more deeply than my current human form has the ability to comprehend. I think it’s okay to leave certain words unspoken, unuttered, but revered only for the sacred soul exchange that took place during that retreat. One can never truly relay an experience and have it possess the same power, it can only be transcribed. The true nature of the soul dance that we recited together as one remarkable tribe of women will remain a spectacular and significant engraving on my timeline of life. The moment in time when we experienced a heartfelt connected exchange with exceptional feminine soul essence. We exchanged intense stories, truths, support, compassion, tears, acceptance, respect and our feminine essence united into a collective force that ignited love. My biggest take away from that weekend was the palpable love that was felt, that was given, and that was received. Still now, weeks later, I have an abundance of love that is charged with positive energy. A deep caring and a reminder to me that love is infinite and that possibilities of life are indeed endless. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all for “showing up”, and to you Marci and Carolyn, who so clearly have a gift in this arena. I appreciate the immense effort, time and financial resources you put into making this retreat a reality. You have to keep doing these retreats — if not for our tribe, for other tribes to come. – Carrie
