Nancy's retreats always get me to explore things that I don't think I would be interested in but I ALLOW myself to be open to the experience. I think that I have been on 3 or 4 SOAR retreats. Bonding with the ladies is one of the best experiences. We share our highlights, our pain, our experiences that we want to get off of our chest that maybe we have been holding onto because we are scared to let them out only to find out that we feel better once we share them. This is not a Holy retreat but it is Spiritual. You feel Spirit. You can't help but feel God's presence being out in His creation. The earth, the Sun, the creeks, the animals, the night sounds, the stars, the moon. You can stay for day sessions or overnight. I recommend the entire weekend. Friday eve is a get-to-know-you evening. We usually have wine and cheese, homemade pizza made by an Artisanal Chef. Saturday is workshops that you can or do not have to attend. You can wander the grounds, hike, and take photos. I enjoy the groups. It is here that I am usually introduced to something about myself that I would normally never participate in. I open up. I release. I take it in. It's therapeutic. I share hurts and hopes and dreams. The Sisters of SOAR welcome me with their arms open wide. They share in my hurt, help me to heal. God's country is so beautiful. We marvel at it. Even those who are not religious. Did you know that Nancy is a transformational life coach? She has such a melodic voice that makes you want to share, to give hope to issues that you have been dealing with, to make you want to resolve any pain that has been plaguing you. You don't have to, but for me, this has been my experience. I look forward to this annual gathering. Covid prevented us from this gathering in 2020 and 2021. We are hoping for 2022. We would love to share this weekend with you.

I wanted to give a shout out and thank you for my Space of Allowing Retreat experiences. I've spent time at all of your Retreats and would go to a hundred more. For me, there is always a calming, centering takeaway. You manage to bring women of all backgrounds together and enable us to feel included and significant, allowing us to examine and then share our souls in a way that enlightens and lifts us both individually and as a group. ALWAYS an amazing adventure with lasting ah-ha moments I never see coming.
