People often ask me..."How do you have time to go on a retreat?" or say "I wish I could go on a retreat but I just can't get away or I can't afford to go". I used to think the same thing until my first retreat 10 years ago.
After my first retreat, I became clear about my Career and Spiritual Path. My family appreciated me more. I came back refreshed, renewed and ready to take on the world. This time away, allowed me to take a step back and review my life. See what was working and see what I needed to change. Every time I returned from a retreat, life took off for me. In 2007 after Sherry and I went on our first retreat together, we came back and decided to start advertising for our readings. After the following retreat, we started our website and company AwakeNDream. I can keep going but the point is that going on retreat gave me the insight, the push and the courage to accelerate my growth in all areas of my life.
I remember thinking it was too expensive to go anywhere, but then I started noticing something. I was spending money for my kids to do gymnastics, soccer, dance, plays, summer camps, etc... which were really important at the time. BUT, how is it that I can spend money on them for their development and growth but I was leaving myself out of it. So when I think of MY Retreats as spiritual classes, developmental activities or life changing courses, I am able to shift my lack mentality. I can remember that I am worth it too. That I deserve a little "ME" time. That once I come back from retreat life will look sweeter and if it didn't, I had tools to help me change it.
You are worth this time away, this time to play and discover what's underneath! If you are ready, we would love to have you join one of our retreats. Our Immerse, Integrate & Take Flight, Summer 2017 is just around the corner. Go to Awakendream.com to reserve your spot today!
