Every time I watch this video I remember the tranquility, expansiveness and density of the rainforest, the kindness of everyone at Luna Lodge, and the community of participants that made up an awesome retreat. I remember how exotic and tropical and beckoning I found this beautiful place and the wonder that each of us felt as we landed in the Osa Peninsula! I remember the fear that many had prior to making the decision to go on retreat, the hesitancy that nearly kept some from buying that plane ticket. But they did it, we all did it together, and it was a life-changing experience! If you have ever considered a retreat and want to know what it feels like to overcome your fear, to get out of your normal everyday life, to be with like-minded individuals, and to immerse yourself in the wonder of nature - this is the time and the place. You deserve this experience – take it!

We often feel fear, resistance, and hesitancy when making a decision to do something for ourselves, especially something that is so out of the ordinary.  But it is through overcoming challenges that growth, learning, and ansformation happen. There are many reasons and excuses for not doing things for ourselves, not doing the things that will bring about change; mostly it is fear, under many different labels ( I don’t have time, money, anyone to go with me … ) that keeps us from stepping outside of our comfort zone and into a place of learning and growth. We feel that we don’t deserve it, we think that someone else should be out there on adventure, traveling to exotic places, deepening their self-awareness, and building their self-confidence; someone else should be taking the break that they worked so hard for! But when you are able to find it in yourself to say, “I am doing this and I deserve it!” you will find that the fear begins to diminish, and a whole new you begins to emerge. Give yourself permission to take a step into the unknown; amazing things will happen!

I am so excited to be going on retreat; I am so looking forward to sharing this experience with others. I know how it feels to be afraid to do something so different from the norm. But the joy that comes from doing it anyway is indescribable! The growth and exhilaration from knowing that you did something really special for yourself is truly a gift. So, if you feel that something is calling you to take this step, that it is time to do something really wonderful for you – listen! That voice you are hearing is you. And when you take the cue and experience that wonderful feeling of, “Wow! I did this, I really did this!” you will be forever changed. Do this for you. Reconnect with your aliveness, with your vibrancy, with that smile that comes for no apparent reason – it is amazing what retreat can do for us as human beings, as spiritual beings, as friends, lovers, parents, siblings, etc. The process is rigorous, and a whole lot of fun! And the results from the work, the relaxation, the time you take for YOU, linger for quite some time. What are you waiting for? Step into the next part of your journey; we will do it together and it will be awesome! Namaste ♥
