[su_spacer]

Hello, you! 

I mean the Real You. I’m talking to the one who craves time to reconnect with herself in a deeper way, in the company of a few others with the same intention.

What if you had a date to connect deeply with your essential being in the company of other souls next winter? What if this were the year you were to plant an oasis, knowing it will be waiting for you when the dark and cold seem like they will drag on forever?

Planning a trip to the sun has long been a strategy of mine for managing the long rainy Pacific Northwest winters. I’ve come to love Zihuatenejo, which is pretty far from everything along the Pacific coast.

Susan and LeaI never imagined I’d want to bring other people with me to the sun. Then last year I happened on a charming hacienda just north of there in Troncones. In my mind’s eye I saw myself there with Lea Bayles and a few other women doing Qi Gong on the grass right in front of the ocean. There we were in the gorgeous outdoor living space, journaling and sharing and growing together.

Ever since then, Lea and I have been planning a retreat to do just that. Every day we fill in more details, coloring inside and outside the lines.

Come join us and your Real Self for a kind, deep, and playful splash next year. The sooner you decide and commit, the more you save. We’re looking forward to sharing all of this and more with you.
