2023 Retreat Reflections, Part I
My reflection mode status is officially activated. In remembering highs and lows of 2023, I thought I’d share my most memorable moments while at retreats in 2023.
Hush
In America we so often agree on a time to slow down and rest. The period of time between the Winter Solstice, Dec 21st, and the New Year is a period made for deep, soul nourishing rest- Yuletide. Steep in all things warm and cozy. Step away from anything and everything that stresses you. Life is meant to be enjoyed- find ways to enjoy it.
