Women Evolving: AIR
Women Evolving: AIR Retreat
Your Shadow. Your Observation. Your Breath.
This Women Evolving Retreat is the third of a series of 5 supportive retreats that invite you to expand your curiosity and delve further into knowing yourself better.
Air - Your Shadow. Your Observation. Your Breath. is all about facing yourself and accepting all parts of you.
We are very good at turning to the things that give us comfort. But the reality is that there is always a duality to what we need to see in order to know ourselves in completeness. Meeting our shadow and what brings us discomfort is a pathway to our growth. It enables us to understand the feeling, see the lesson and walk forward in free will and choice from what we learn.
Discomfort - It will offer you perspective from places you have never known. It will give you permissions to let go of what no longer serves you and make room for the breath that allows you to explore yourself even more.
It is up to you how much you RECEIVE. The tools and opportunities are here to welcome you to know yourself better to:
Learning more about the importance of listening and observing instead of fixing and grasping for fast answers;
Learning more about stillness and receiving in patience;
Learning more about how to create room in yourself to enable you to love all the parts of you.
