A couple of weeks ago, on a wild Sunday, a scrumptious day of women and children gathering at my Day of Delight Retreat at Ingelara Farm. It was a day of miracles, tipis, laughter, napping, circling, drumming, dancing, rainstorms, singing, labyrinth walking, painting and so much more.
How does one speak of such gifts from the heart & soul?I only know that ten women and four children came together as strangers, and left as sisters.
there was so many beautiful parts of it…
looking around the circle to see these stunning faces, feeling so blessed to be surrounded with such BEAUTY and GIFTS and STORIES wrapped in bodies!
painting like rainbow devas on the floor…
walking across the paddocks together to our special labyrinth…
seeing all the women scatter all over the mountain and valley to Be with themselves and nature… like they were being pulled by their own soul compasses… they knew what to do…
instituting “nap time” after lunch… and women RELISHING it…
walking into the huge tipi to light a fire to see six women all curled up napping after lunch… the epitome of self nourishing…
walking down to the river to meditate, only to have a wild rain storm come rushing down! it was so funny to see everyone laughing wildly and running to the safe white river tipi and taking shelter in there, circling in a circle sanctuary as the rain and winds billowed around us… it felt so safe and ancient in there….
and singing ourselves together to end our circle…
walking back to the farm after the storm with the blue sky aglow and blazoned with pink clouds, wrapped in the arms of women who had become sisters…
In all – it was magical, and beautiful, and just as life should be and CAN be.
If you’ve got the calling to come to one of my one day retreats, please let me know by email and I’ll put you on my “you’re special & invited first” list.
more photos from the day can be seen on my Flickr photostream.
