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!
 
 
As you may know, I am leading a new retreat this month called Quest for Your Authentic Leader.
 
 
Here is a quote that helped inspire me to design, organize, market, and have endless conversations with all kinds of  people - in other words, spend the last year visioning something new:
 
"No leader sets out to be a leader. People set out to live their lives, expressing themselves fully. When that expression is of value, they become leaders. So the point is not to become a leader. The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely - all your skills, gifts, and energies - in order to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You must, in summary, become the person you started out to be, and to enjoy the process of becoming."
Warren Bennis 
 
Let's look at Leadership.  If you go to Amazon.com you will find a million beautifully written books and stories of how Leaders have developed.  And yet, even if you read every one, you will not become your True Leader unless you find your own story.  You must seek the gifts that are yours to bring - the ones that translate your values and purpose into meaning. 
 
For some this is a big dance, on a big stage.  For others the ripples stay in a smaller pond, yet still touch the lives of many with power and magic.  We are interconnected in a million ways.  Our unity or interconnectedness, that we forget a thousand times a day, is always present and so whatever we choose will impact everything else.  Having the mindful awareness to notice these choices and how they align with our being is a constant adventure of learning and growth.

Recently I had the privilege of talking with Corrie Woods, from The Field Guide to Extraordinary Living, about the value of Self-Care and Retreats.  Here are the links for the 2 short (10 minute) interviews we did:
