Happy Equinox! On Sunday, I got to spend the day with a handful of my amazing spiritual mentorship clients. After a wonderful day at my favorite retreat center, I feel...
...full of energy, enjoyment, grace, and amazing food.
...inspired by my amazing clients, by my personal takeaways, and by the practice itself.
...honored to bring together a group of such powerful, aligned women who are all walking the path.
...supported by the epic land and its steward, Ruthanne of Heaven and Earth Retreats.
...eager to share the magic with you!
Here's a sneak peek inside what goes on during a magical I AM Medicine mentorship day:
We started off the morning with building community: we gathered around a fire to eat delicious snacks while creating connection, sharing our journeys and discovering how much we have in common! How many of us go through our lives feeling like we're alone and have no community, only to come together in a group like this and discover that there are other amazing people out there having the same experience?
We talked about the energies of Autumn, the equinox and meditated to receive a guide for our journey through the West Gate.
After a delicious, gourmet lunch, and some gentle Qi Gong (didn't get a photo because it's hard to demonstrate movement and take pictures at the same time), we headed back out to sit around the fire again. We all wrote intentions for what we would like to "consciously compost." Part of working with Autumn is about what are you choosing NOT to harvest, but instead, to put back into the Earth to turn under and replenish the soil? We then "composted" these energies in a fire ceremony.
Following the fire ceremony, we built a collective altar with what we are harvesting and want to create more of in our lives.
What an epic healing circle! We meditated, prayed and all settled in to enjoy a deep, nourishing healing experience. Everyone was blown away by the power of the group!
We took away some steps for guidance on our Creator path. Everyone's message aligned perfectly with their intention!
We closed as the evening sun was filtering through the trees and bathing everything in nourishing, golden light. As we enjoyed a round of epic snacks to help us ground back in our bodies, we reflected on the powerful experiences, aha! moments and takeaways of the group. One last group hug circle and we drove off into the sunset!
I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, nourishing, inspiring retreat day experience! This work is so much FUN, and I get to share it with a cohort of passionate, powerful clients who are changing their lives and changing the world. It is truly an honor and a joy to dive deeper and deeper into this work. I AM Medicine is stretching me, pushing me and inspiring me to uplevel my practice and my craft in ways I never imagined. What a journey.
