A CONNECTED HEART-FELT WEEKEND

• A week ago, I ran my first plant-based cooking
  retreat at Woody Grove Retreat, Mapleton. What an
  absolute privilege it was. And I dont say that
  lightly.
• Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined
  that Id be leading a retreat of my own. Lets be
  honest, Ive been a retreat junkie most of my
  life attending all sorts of retreats around the
  world and growing and learning from each
  experience. This retreat felt so different
  whilst I was organised and everything was
  carefully planned out, it was one of the rare
  moments in my life where I felt totally in flow,
  and not in control. I didnt really know where
  each day would take us, and I was so comfortable
  with that. I was out of my head the entire
  weekend and in my heart. And there was a sense of
  ease and joy everywhere.

• I headed home with a huge smile on my face. I
  took the next day to sit quietly reflecting on
  the weekend that was. Memories floated in and
  out, the many conversations replayed in my mind,
  and each time I reflected I felt immense
  gratitude. Grateful that I got to spend a
  weekend connecting with women Id never met.
  Grateful that 12 women, with no past history,
  came together with complete trust and connected
  and opened up. Grateful that I get to share my
  passion of plant-based food with like-minded
  people. Grateful for the laughter boy did we
  laugh!

• I wasnt looking for the usual growth and
  learning from this retreat. My intention was to
  create an incredible weekend for my guests and
  give ALL of ME to them. To give back this time.
  But what I received and learned was bigger than I
  could have ever imaged. I learned that
• women are more incredible than I ever realised
• when you truly stare into the eyes of another
  human, you see yourself
• we are all equal

• we are all beautiful
• women are strong and can overcome absolutely
  anything
• differences are to be celebrated
• opening your heart is the gateway to deep
  connection
• Joy is our birth right, not something we should
  strive for
• when women come together, we truly know how to
  have a good time.

• And on that note, I end with quote that resonates
  so deeply with me. For we are not broken, we are
  just butterflies waiting to spread our wings.
• She is a beautiful piece of broken pottery, put
  back together with her own hands. And a critical
  world judges her cracks while missing the beauty
  of how she made herself whole again.
