Retreat Reflections🙏🏻
Glenbarr Drum making Retreat 🥁
💎Moments in time that imprint on the mind for participants
My absolute passion is running retreats for women .
I see women truly see themselves for the first time in a very long time or maybe since forever.
Cleansing tears flow
Laughter echoes
Time expands
Souls rest
Bodies are nourished and massaged .
🧘🏻♀️Marlens Yoga is always comfortable and joyful.. bodies are singing .
☕️Ceremonial Cacao infused with the elements of Earth Air Fire and Water.. then we do self hypnosis and healing is a side effect .
🍃Seeds are planted
💧Ripples are flowing into friends and family .. calm is a side effect .
🥁One of my favourite reflections is during a drum dance prayer process.
The ‘teepee throne ‘ started to fall ( I didn’t dig it in properly 😳) and the next minute two women stood guard and protected the sacred space like warriors . 💪
🙏🏻A natural event of people caring and protecting each other with love.
🕊️🥁The drum birthing process was a magical sacred process under the guidance of Lisa and Elizabeth . Very profound and metaphors abound. Expert guidance from Lisa and Elizabeth ensured we all completed our drums ..eventually . We were all in awe of Lisa as she helped us feel supported and also had the courage to tell us “ you’ve lost the plot “😂… unravel your drum and start again .
👻The venue provided its own ghostly entertainment and a soulful nourishing yummy dinner at the historical elegant Glenbarr building .
Every retreat feels like it is the best one yet !
Every participant expressed deep gratitude and surprise at how good it was. Every participant is nurtured and leaves feeling loved and cared for🙏🏻
How does it get better than that ?
Thank you to all facilitators and participants .. it was a true co creation 🙏🏻
(✨Next day retreat Jan 11th at Askara has 4 places left . Book soon as it will fill up I’m confident.
Or let me know to save you a place .)
