Vacation planning: Vision quest, health & harmony reset, day to day life disconnect? Everyone I talk to is itching for a new set of scenery for a few days to rejuvenate and restore vitality, clarity and zest for life. I hear and see a common theme arising: Am I living my true purpose? Am I living my biggest and best life?
Top level retreat programs are filling up this year faster than ever. If your gal or guy pals have a little resistance about accompanying you on a retreat, share these mythbusters:
Mythbuster 1
It’s too Expensive
Retreats can offer incredible value and an intensive immersion for personal growth and transformation. Individual coaching sessions or programs either in person or virtual can seem less expensive but in the long term, cost more. The desired outcomes can come more quickly in immersive, experiential in-person events. When you combine high caliber leaders, there is exponential value added to the programs that individually would cost more.
Mythbuster 2
Vulnerability is Intimidating
For many of us that are introverted and shy, group experiences that dive into vulnerable aspects of life can seem intense. Research now shows that vulnerability offers us an incredible opportunity to expand outside our comfort zone. A group of individuals that start off as strangers in a few short days can quickly become friends that last a lifetime and nourish us in the moments when life becomes challenging.
Mythbuster 3
I Don’t Have the Time
Life is incredibly short. Time is your most valuable commodity. If we let time and other individuals' expectations run our schedule, life quickly passes us by. You are a powerful creator of your life experience. Carpe diem. Seize the moment and carve out experiences that will nourish and reset your body, mind, spirit and quantum leap into your dreams and desires for authentic living.
Mythbuster 4
Divine Feminine Power?
Many of us have been raised to rely more on our masculine nature, to get things done, advance in our chosen career path and to be more analytical. Many of us have paid a heavy price for pushing aside our feminine power and gifts. We are called collectively now to allow this energy to rise within us and embrace our intuitive, mystical, sensual, creative and receptive nature. This is power in a balanced form that brings harmony, understanding and creative solutions for a sustainable future.
Mythbuster 5
Is sisterhood really necessary?
As women, we heal in community. The old paradigm of competition and separation is no longer valid. We are stronger in numbers and our power is potent. By coming together, aligned in our intentions to heal ourselves, we transform and elevate everything and everyone around us. This is true sisterhood, where our hearts and minds are joined to create benevolent change around us. In our authenticity, we naturally inspire and encourage all those around us to rise to our highest potential.

Feng Shui with Patsy Balacchi (www.zenotica.com)
Feng Shui is the study of both the natural and man-made energy patterns that exist in the environment and how those patterns intertwine with life and influence health.
6 Principles of Feng Shui
Comfort & Safety: Check your plumbing, electricity, doors, windows, beds, desks, chairs (no squeaks, no leaks). Everything in your space should be clean and in good working order.
Live With What You Love: Declutter, donate, and keep only the things that make you smile. Everything that you own should have a purpose, therefore, it should serve you.
Give Everything a Home: Identify what you have, organize, and give it a meaningful place.
Make Your Home a Place You Love: Refresh your space with live plants and add colors that lift you up. Play music, adopt a pet, get a new door mat, place colorful flowers in your main entrance. More importantly, honor and respect the ones you're with.
Make Practicality Your Best Friend: Don't overthink anything. Don't wait for the right moment. Be in the present moment and let go of distractions.
Your Body Is Your Temple: Treat your body with love and respect. Make it a habit to choose what’s right for you to sustain good energy. Remember, YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH.
Nutrition, Yoga & Breathwork with Karla (www.sweatygirl.com)
The 4 pillars of the Sweaty Girl Method are, Nutrition, Yoga & Breath, Well Being, and Movement. They work hand in hand to build strong immunity and resilience against disease.
Nutrition - Eating a balanced meal is extremely important to build a strong immune system against disease. Don’t forget to eat fruit that is in season that is local and organic when possible.
Yoga & Breath - Breath and Asanas (poses) are linked through the practice of Yoga, bringing harmony between the mind and body. It’s never too late to reap the mind, body, spirit benefits of Yoga, which you will understand as you continue to practice it. Yoga opens the energetic body and helps to release energy blocks which keep you from living and performing optimally.
Well Being - Forgiveness makes its presence known often when we are in the process of healing. The benefits of forgiveness are endless, especially when you’re on a self-care journey. Forgiveness is a part of the process of loving yourself more and caring for yourself on a deeper level.
Movement - It’s important to keep the body moving in any phase of your life. Movement enhances the cardiovascular system, thereby enhancing the way you perform and feel. Movement decreases injury and slows down the aging process. You don’t need to go to the gym to workout or move your body.
