Experience a Women’s Retreat

by Yolanda 07-11-2018

How to write an article about the experience in a women’s retreat without creating an expectation to allow the experience to flow on its own? I can only speak from my own perception and echo the feeling of the women who have participated in my retreats.

Women testify to the quality of interactions in the group, as if we already knew each other. There is always the feeling that everyone present is who needed to be there for our process, there is a strong sense of belonging and the connection is very strong. There is the great complicity of finding yourself and recognizing you in the other and, from a sincere sharing, we remember together that in our solitude we have never really been alone. Between walks, contemplation, sharing circles, confidences, laughter, dances, rituals and others, and with the ability to surrender to the present moment, we weave these juicy encounters.

The beauty of the experience of a women?s retreat is that it lives with and through you, to the point that each one allows it. You can stay on the bank of the river or fully immerse yourself in it, depending on what each one feels and needs at every moment. Being so, there lies the beauty of freedom of choice. Light food, Tai Chi, Oriental dances, Body awareness, vibrational meditation with bowls, body experience, stopping and breathing ? recovering this ?exercising our attention? (absence of tension) to anchor the presence in the moment. It is thus favoured that the body can once again assume its role of ?anchor to earth?, moving from the mind to the body, from thinking to feeling, since it is only from the well-established earthliness that we can hoist our wings. It is the experience of being what one is.

The experience of a women?s retreat allows the seeds to be planted so that the latent state of joy that we are can later flourish also in everyday life. It is well known that participants tend to find it difficult to bring the benefits and teachings of a retreat into our daily lives. It is sometimes more difficult for us to express it naturally by our own self-imposed mental constraints and limitations.

We have observed that the beautiful environment being a safe, protected and warm place, one can feel confident and relaxed, thus favouring the mood and predisposition to joy. Women share that they go home peaceful and plentiful, with many ?tips? to apply to their daily lives with ?delighted memories? to which we can go back at a later time to reload our spirit.

A women?s retreat is an experience that offers you a break, especially of yourself, to continue on with the path that takes you back to your own nature.
