HOPE

What is Hope?

To Want? To Desire?

To expect that what's envisioned may indeed happen?

YES! to all of the above.

Is HOPE that gut feeling that it's worth holding out and hanging on for just a little longer?

ABSOLUTELY!!

Is HOPE the core of the human condition?

CERTAINLY!!

Can you have hope without faith and humility and wonder?

THAT'S TOUGH.

Just the thought that there's something bigger, something truer, something totally surprising out there waiting for us is.................priceless.

What would you be without HOPE growing deep in your bones, thriving in every inch of you?

NOTHING

Imagine a weekend dedicated to YOU - an opportunity to slow down, rest, reconnect with yourself and reflect on your life. Now add the SUN, OCEAN and BEACH and a group of like-minded women and you have discovered a wonderful retreat for your soul.

The Sun & Sea Retreat for Women offers a supportive space where women can step back from their lives to pause. Reflect. Rest. Rejuvenate. Begin to create lives of meaning and futures filled with passion, love and joy! Practice loving yourself. Replenish your relationship with your divine nature, in a circle of women with the smell of the sea and the warmth of the sun, committed to healing and creative energies. Enjoy the endless boardwalk, brilliant blue skies, spectacular ocean views and endless horizons that open up thoughts of unexplored potential and dreams unrealized.

Throughout the weekend, women will spend time at the beach, antiquing, biking, napping and perhaps in silence. Using a combination of guided imagery, meditation and sharing in the nightly circle, women in this weekend retreat will support each other in expressing and celebrating who they are as women and who they are becoming.

Some Pearls of Discernment...

Do not look for intelligence in feelings.

Your world is changing -if you try to recapture how it used to be - you will stifle what can be.

Your best choices and decisions are made by going for what you want rather than trying to protect yourself.

Excitement develops when you are moving toward your desires. Passion happens when you are taking steps by intention and expanding.

There is no right or wrong, no fair or unfair, no deserved or undeserved. There are only perceptions.

One of the lowest functions of the physical body is conscious thought ¦so be aware of probable misperceptions.

If you cannot see the truth of yourself, you distort all you observe.

If you must prove someone wrong so you can be right, you stand on ground that is incapable of supporting you.

Be open to outcomes- not attached to pictures of the way you think it 'should be'.

The greatest way to be untrue to yourself is to believe you can't be anything other than you have been.

No one takes your power, you give it away by losing the focus of your intentions.

Do not allow yourself to anger at another's lack of understanding; allow yourself to have a greater understanding that they are allowed to not understand.
