Reflections & Retreats

Ever think back to key moments of dreaming and creating in your thoughts? Around something you wanted to create?

Then suddenly that ‘thing’ that was once an idea, a seed! is days away from happening! (For all the Mum’s/Dad’s out there, I’m sure you can resonate….)

I was remembering this particular moment in time, over 3 years ago in Mexico. I was settling into my new life there and spending a lot of time visioning what I wanted it all to look like.

I was thinking about creating and leading Retreats. But the reality of that felt so far away.

At that point, because I couldn’t predict my future! I didn’t know a series of events would bring me back to the UK. So creating Retreats in the UK hadn’t really crossed my mind!

Aside from Mexico, I loved the idea of hosting a Retreat in Spain (near my Dad’s home of Guadalest was the idea). Somewhere I feel very at home when I visit, a place of such beauty and calm. He lives in the mountains so you can imagine.

Fast track to 3 years later. After settling into my new life in the UK, and after hosting two UK Retreats to get me started, I am DAYS AWAY from hosting my first European Retreat!!

I can’t quite believe it. It’s moments like this when you look back and think ‘what a journey’. ‘I was capable of what I once dreamt of’.

These (BIG) things don’t just happen overnight.

They take a great amount of risk, time, dedication, commitment, trust, planning and energy. And if I’m being completely honest I will add stress to the list!

I am proud of the steps I have taken to get to this point.

As a gift to myself, I am going to experience my first Vipassana Retreat after hosting my own Retreat. So I will be staying in Spain until the end of June. (Holiday dates below.)

SO. I wanted to share this as a little inspiration.

Is there something you are sitting on?

An idea, a dream, a vision, something that seems far away from being in your hands?

YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

What’s your first step?
