(andrea scher, jen lemen, ali edwards, karen walrond, me, hula, mati rose, myriam joseph, jen lee, brene brown, jen gray , alex, tracey clark – photo by tracey)many months ago jen lemen and i had a vision, a hopeful retreat idea to bring a few women together on the oregon coast. i was nervous. who was i to co-lead a retreat of powerful, beautiful, creative women? how dare i play such a part in dreaming this up? how dare i think they would all say yes and come? but they did come….
and now i have no words.
just love.
just extreme gratitude.
just break-your-heart joy.
more stories of insight, bliss, and pure pure magic coming up…..
I was floored wehn I read your post-sounds like an amazing experience. What a blessing,what a gift for all!
You look like a very happy little girl in that great photo. 🙂 How fantastic that you all came together for such a wonderful event!
What a wonderful experience this must have been! It looks peaceful, serene, magical, and so full of joy. I’m sure it was a powerful and meaningful experience for every one of you.
kelly rae, how glad and grateful i am that you dared to dream this up and that you had the courage to make it come true. it was magic. and it was real. i miss you all so much already.
is this the most gorgeous group of women, or what?!
This sounds so wonderful. It is close to my dream for my future.
I suppose it’s not impossible, is it?
