The Northwoods
I am a Retreat Guider.....yeah Retreat Guider that sounds interesting doesn’t it?
Let me delve into that one a little bit today. I just returned home yesterday afternoon from leading a Nourishing Women’s Retreat in the Northwoods of Wisconsin called Minocqua.
The resort we took over had 5 cabins for us to stay in and one main lodge area where we would gather.
We arrived strangers on Thursday and left sacred sisters sharing I love you’s as we left each other Sunday.
I am in awe at what is possible every time I guide these retreats.
Here is what the intention was at this retreat:
If your body is craving some nourishment; think of it like a desire for a “reset” a delightful inhale and exhale of the mind and body. You know, those breaths that bring you back to the present moment. Bringing you back home to yourself.
Another favorite area that nourishes my soul is the Northwoods of Wisconsin. We have had a cottage up this way for years and there is something about getting away to the Northwoods that is healing & nourishing. Maybe it's taking in the lake or the camp fires. I would love it for you to come experience as well!
*Women's Retreat*
I believe now more than ever, it is so important to do the things that feel good to us. To make sure we are taking the time to listen to our bodies as to what those good feeling things are. Doing activities that help ground ourselves, bring peace to our hearts and minds, and allow for space rather than push or force.
We begin Thursday evening 7:00pm and complete our time together by Sunday 12:00pm.
This weekend, will allow for the space for you to Be, to go inwards and listen, to come as you are. Giving space for what needs to go to go, and what would like to stay to stay. What is desiring to yet be created, be created. Filling your cup with guided nourishing sessions for your soul via restorative/gentle yoga + neurosculpting® meditation + soundbath + self inquiry + nature/trail walks + personal time.
*END DESCRIPTION*
I added an extra day to this retreat this time, having us arrive on a Thursday instead of a Friday as I have heard so many times before the ladies would say Saturday night “We just got here I feel and starting to know eachother more and we leave tomorrow, it’s too soon.” The retreat I checked in with everyone and they loved the extra time to exhale, to go within, to connect, to be.
We had lot’s of discussion on the bullshit that we create in our lives and broke things down to simplicity and truth. What is really important? What do we really want and desire? And how the answers lie within in our connection to ourselves and choices and decisions we make from there.
It is powerful when women come together to commune. They feel seen, heard and supported, that is the magic right there. When a woman or human feels seen, heard AND supported they can begin to own their worth and remember the magic that lies within them. They remember they are powerful beyond measure.
I cry my eyes out at the end of the retreat weekends every time and this one was no different.
And why the Northwoods you ask? My parents had always had a cottage on a lake up in the Northwoods until about 3 years ago when it just became too much work for them to keep up. They didn’t want to have it go into the family, fearful of family drama that could ensue.
I have missed the place every since. The Northwoods represents kinda like going to Las Vegas, what happens in the Northwoods, stays in the Northwoods as it does in these sacred circles that come together in these retreat weekends. No make up, comfy clothes, yummy food, laugh, cry, set down the worries and stress. And you get to choose whether you pick it back up when you get ready to come home.
I love what I get to experience and witness.
If you are desiring a Retreat for yourself, I host a couple a year. The next one is in Antelope Canyon, AZ in February ‘24 and Minocqua ‘24 will be happening next September, I will be sharing on that in the next month or two.
Invest in yourself it’s the most important investment you can make.
Be well friends,
T
