No beginning and no end…
A circle has no beginning and no end. But a circle is not something I ever felt I had.
After the awakening of my spirit in Lake Tahoe last summer, I knew I wanted to create opportunities for others to have the space for similar experiences. How would it all work? I knew of very few others who even acknowledged spirituality outside religion. I slowly started sharing my experience and fully opened my heart with Sacred Woman Collective in October. It felt very lonely at first. I felt the rawness of vulnerability and creating a new path for my soul. Connections with old friends faded, and others deepened.
Then unexpected happened next.
My circle started to grow.
With each circle, each retreat, and each event and class I attended, my circle started growing. As I shared my experience, others with similar stories stepped into my circle (literally at circles and figuratively in other ways). Connections intertwined, and the circle continued to grow. I’ve met some fantastic individuals who have fully embraced me. Even the parts I had hidden away for a long time. They encouraged me to share my truth honestly and unapologetically. The more authentically I lived, the more the others supported me. Mind you, it wasn’t everyone I knew and loved before. Some shook their heads; others wanted me to compartmentalize myself to fit with the “old” me. But those who understood and those on this same journey as me leaned in closer. I could feel love from souls I had just encountered. I loved them in return.
I am helping with established retreats in Nebraska and forging my own with my daughter and a dear friend. I’m even venturing to Mexico to attend and help with one there. How in six months have I gone from questioning my existence on this earth to knowing without a doubt why my soul chose this journey? It's the idea of possibility. I leaned in and took a chance to see if I could get something from my first retreat last August. I leaned into the fear of speaking my whole truth to those on their own journey. I stopped trying to do things I thought others would like and followed my heart. I tuned into my intuition.
If you are doubting your life, purpose, and existence, pause and dig deep until you find yourself. A retreat, a circle, Reiki, Body Coding, whatever it may be, start peeling away those layers of conditioning, doubt, fear, obligations, and expectations. Keep peeling until you find yourself again. Your soul, inside of you, came here for a specific purpose. It is all-knowing and connected to the Divine. But there is so much you must silence in your mind to hear and feel it.
I encourage you to attend any of the Sacred Woman Retreats worldwide. In Nebraska, click here to see some amazing ones coming up. Lean into the knowing you are meant for far more than you realize!! xoxo
