OCTOBER 
 
Is your inner voice making it pretty clear that it's time to get away with your Retreat Coach?  As Terry Tempest Williams says:
 
"To nurture a soulful, creative life we need to reconnect tenderly with our wild soul.  We need to create an open, loving, non-judgmental space for our tender parts to gain footing and courage." 
 
Join  me on the Journey with Your Wild Soul Retreat Oct 3-5 for a very special weekend to dive into your depths.  In the silence of the traditional kiva, take a journey to feel the wisdom of the Mother Earth mingling with your own.  Bring back your story to share in a loving, supportive community of women.

STORIES FROM THE SANCTUARY!
 
 Recently a friend signed up for a local tennis tournament.  He likes competing but hadn't done something like this in a year or so.  Spurred on by his tennis coach, he bypassed some limiting beliefs about where his game was at and registered for the one day event.  His match was scheduled for 8:00am on a Saturday morning.  When he arrived at the courts, they were soaked from rain the night before, so he chipped in to lend a hand in getting the courts dry so play could begin.  After an hour or so, his competitor arrived and they began their match.  Unfortunately he lost the match, reporting back to me, "I really didn't play my game. I played his game."
 
This is a powerful metaphor that can teach us a lot about living life successfully.  What does it mean - to play your game?

Deb on peakThe Quest for Your Authentic Leader Retreat was an awesome experience for me.  After my first vision quest nearly 20 years ago, I had the chance to bring women to an extraordinary place and give them the opportunity to deeply connect with their vision of Self and Leadership by spending invaluable time alone on the land.

WOW - I will be reflecting for a long time on all the gifts of the week.  And I hold each of them in my heart for all the trust and 'breaking open' they did.

Here is the whole gorgeous group!
 
One participant shared:
 
I don't think I've ever participated so fully from my heart in any retreat or class.  As a result I feel more confident and more connected to myself, my family and friends and the whole planet.
Thank you for the gift!  -  C.Marrs, Albuquerque, NM
 
And a few of the questions we explored, that you can ask yourself:
  • What stops you from leading as your authentic self?
  • What themes or patterns in your own life story support your unique style of leadership today?
  • How do you recognize and address 'burnout' as a sustainable leader?

If you want to share your answers and deepen your reflection, contact me to set up a coaching conversation.
