YAY, I’m so so glad you took the plunge to go, and that you wrote about it so I could read it 🤗 What a beautiful setting, and beautiful souls surrounding you it sounds like. So glad you had a good experience! (Also, lol’ing at the period… don’t you hate that 😤)

I completely understand the feeling of reacclimating when coming home, it’s WEIRD. I know it’s been a little bit since you got back now, so idk if this will help, but my retreat leader told me when I was sad about “going back to reality” that “Morganne, this *IS* reality.” It really stuck with me because it was basically a permission slip to keep my open mindset and lessons I’d learned in the day-to-day (though easier said than done I’ll admit.)

And lastly - your comments about feeling analysis paralysis and like others around you aren’t willing to go as deep hit me. I feel those things too. 💙

That's exactly how I was feeling when the weekend was coming to an end! I was trying to stay as present as possible so I could soak up every last bit of magic to take it home with me, but your retreat leader is so right - we carry the mindset with us ✨ It's helped to have the contact info for the other attendees and can stay in touch.

Those feelings can be so isolating. I'm sorry you feel them too, but am glad we're not alone in them 🫶

That's so nice you're staying in touch ❤️ I have the emails for all my retreat-goers and there was a lot of talk of doing Zoom calls later on to check in on each other, but nothing ever came of it sadly. That said, I did meet up with one of the local women months later and it was so nice.

It was stunning! I went to a lookout point while I was there and could see all the San Juan islands, as well as Vancouver Island and I thought of you!
