The After Energy of Retreat

Well this will be my first posting to a blog ever. Transformation has been huge in my life recently and I look forward to even more transformation going forward. I am in pure awe of the weekend retreat. It has been a long time coming to have a full house of women celebrating the Divine Feminine Within each and every one of them. Each retreat is a little different in theme and energy but I have to say that this was the best one yet and I along with everyone else say that each and every time. I want to personally thank each woman who chose to make themselves a priority for the weekend and came to Embracing their Divine. I believe each woman attending did indeed find that.

Pxz's Gravatar Thank You so much Tina for all the hard work and spiritual thought you put into this
retreat. I know the preassures that you were under and I know the leap of faith you had to take
on this one. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this and I know it is just the
beginning. I need about a week straight of sleep then I'm all on board and ready to start on
the Finding Your Zen retreat. I know we both learned so much from this one and it will only get better from here.
Blessings My Beautiful Muse

BD's Gravatar Congrats on your successful retreat - I know you worked very hard for a very long time and I don't think there are many who truly know how much you put into these kind of events. I'm glad to see you doing what you love - as the saying goes "To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against. "

lauralove's Gravatar the embracing your divine retreat was amazing! i'm still on a natural high and wish we could retreat once a month! wouldn't that be fun? kudos to tina and andrea on all the hard work and beautiful decorations.
lots of energy goes into this kind of event and i am just so pleased with how it all turned out. i especially enjoyed meeting such beautiful new women and look forward to seeing them again! loved the MAC center. as
far as meals are concerned, perhaps portion control would be helpful, with seconds being served after each person has been offered a balanced plate. we do have the option to bring snacks and share, which i think
some did! that might be helpful as well. i am very much looking forward to the zen retreat. i think you do an awesome job at organizing and planning these retreats. keep up the good work. everyone always comes
away with light~filled and happy hearts! lovelovelove! lauralove

Cindy Adzuki Chang's Gravatar I feel so recharged now. Thank you so much for organizing the event. This was the first time I ever experienced a retreat of this sort. Everything about it was just so wonderful and relaxing and I feel incredibly blessed to be able to take part. I look forward to seeing everyone again in the Fall.
