2013 is the Year of Self-Trust
As the new year approaches, I download all the “Best Year Ever Dream Big Do it Now” freebies that come along. I start to get all hyped about making big plans and dreaming big and then… I stop. Why?
Because it all feels wrong.
It’s not that I’m anti-planning – plans can be nice. Comforting. It’s just that I’m in the midst of (have been for 10 years) learning to live in a whole different way.
- A way based on self-trust, patient listening, and courageous action.
- A way that is human scaled, sustainable, and truly mine – not a cookie cutter from someone else.
- A way (mostly) free of straining or forcing, 7-step-formulas and complicated programs.
- A way built from the inside out.
My many years of actively asking “What does it mean to live an awake alive life as a woman in these times?” has taught me a thing or two, and I’d love to share a few of those with you.
Join me for a sacred day of quiet and play to help you listen to what’s calling you now.
A day of listening & savoring your vision and outlining next right actions. Not because it’s January, not because everybody else is having a whoop-dee-do about 2013 (question: are the Mayan calendar people going to be bummed out that we’re even here??) but because it’s glorious and imperative to regularly take time to listen to your life.
Women are bringing into being a new way of “doing” life – what I call the shero’s journey – and we must share and support each other in creating this new way. We need to come together to share tricks and stories, energy and lore.
What will we actually do?
One of my gifts is creating amazing retreats, safe, sacred space that will make it safe and easier for you to let go, turn within, and discern things you might have a hard time hearing clearly on your own.
We will use ritual, writing, meditation, imagery, story, movement, laughter, and discussion to explore:
- What is my shero’s journey right now? What is calling to me now?
- What do I need to learn to be the woman who can live this call?
- Who are my allies?
- Where and when will I fall asleep and forget this call?
- What are the dragons and how can I befriend or elude them?
Please join a small group (15) of women and give yourself the gift of spacious self-care.
“Attend Jennifer’s retreats only if you want to transform! She should have a Surgeon General’s warning that hanging in the creative and spirited mood she ignites can be habit forming, life-changing and downright…fun! THANK YOU!!!!!” —Ann C.
What to bring:
- Journal and luscious pens you like to write with. Please bring a few different colors. I’ll have pens, too.
- A photo or magazine image or art piece (made by or someone else) that says to you, for whatever reasons, “This is my shero’s journey right now.“ Let yourself be led, don’t over-think this, and let the time you spend looking for this—or making—be the beginning of the retreat (and yes, that’s fine if it’s 11 pm the night before).
- Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move and stretch in. Bodhi is a shoe-less center so socks or slippers are handy. Also bring shoes and a warm coat that allow for an outside walk should the weather allow.
- We will have snacks and lunch is included – gluten free options of course!
