My dear friend Susan Sisk Reynolds and I facilitated ELEMENTAL (a gathering for women) on Saturday.
We created time for each of the beautiful ELEMENTS of EARTH (BODY), AIR (SPIRIT), and FIRE (MIND). The major focus for THIS mini-retreat, though, was WATER (HEART).
After three glorious hours together, including floating in the lake, participants said they felt present, peaceful, and without a care in the world. Several noted how it felt like the WATER took pain away (physical pain, emotional pain).
We heard the phrases “I am safe. I am at peace. I am relaxed.”
Each of us sank into the grass, breathed in the air, were warmed by the fire, and were held by the water.
We ended with a Tea Circle around the fire to share final words of gratitude for the land, the waters, and the rest of the beings that make up the More Than Human World.
Did we take any pictures of this gathering?
Nope. Not one.
Totally forgot because I was so present to the Journey. So this is a photo of me from Lake James earlier this year during a kayak camping adventure.
Warmly,
Angie
