My unplugged retreat experience was phenomenal. Waking up in the morning and meditating on the beach was so blissful. Being one with nature and experiencing our Lords beauty brought me grounding. I wasn’t thinking about the past nor the future. I was living in the present moment. I felt aligned. This retreat brought calm to the chaos that was happening in my mind. I left with so much awareness. When Kym notice I was to swim across the river while everyone else wanted to walk over to the side she said the simplest words that have so much significance... “Do it, don’t worry about what they’re doing. Do what you want, you want to swim across. Do It”. Once I did those words were stuck in my head. I came to the realization that Fear and Self Doubt were stopping me from living my authentic life that I deserve. Myself, I was holding my self back from being the greatest version of myself and unlocking the power I have within. After coming to that realization I started jumping of cliffs and living again.
The lessons I gain on this trip, I brought back with me. I am grateful. I was surrounded by love and truth. My unplugged experience was really a state of serenity. I was literally unplugging myself from the chaos of everyday life. I feel grounded, I am here, right now present in this very moment. This trip brought me so much awareness, lessons and courage to stop the doubting and to just do it. Thank you Kym, for the encouragement, the self awareness and lessons. I am grateful for it all and will most definitely attend next years unplugged retreat 💜
As women, were always taking care of everyone , speaking so highly about self care, letting go , be fearless ,believing in ourselves, being confident etc you name it ! However how many of us really follow any of those things through. We get so caught we forget about us. About me! We put ourselves last , helping, helping and helping until we are completely drained and hit rock bottom. But even at rock bottom we keep pushing and silently break down because God forbid we take a minute to stop and say NO or take care of ourselves. If it’s one thing I learned from this retreat it’s , ITS TIME FOR ME. It’s time to heal , to let go , to take care of myself internally , mentally. Leave the heartache , heavy burdens , ego behind. Be vulnerable , ask for HELP! say you are NOT OKAY with your head held high. Love yourself , truly love yourself and be opened to being uncomfortable for change. Trust God , trust him completely , live by faith. Speaking my truth. Being fearless !! Taking a leap of faith( ricks cafe) 😂And deal with the pain!! Uff deal with it , the last thing you need to do is mask with new horrible habits that will dig a deeper hole. Also , many times I beat myself up because I feel like I’m too emotional too soft but , it’s a gift most definitely. I love , my love. I love my soul , my heart , my faith. You really put things in perspective for me and I thank you for that. You’ve taught us A LOT! Most importantly we are STRONG QUEENS and we are only going up from here. I’m back from the retreat with my back lighter and soul lighter from the burdens I was caring. I’ve let go of a lot , it wasn’t easy to open up and be vulnerable but the space you created was so pure and like I said I’m truly thankful. Thankful for the friendships that have also now been created , thankful for the moments that I’ll never forget. Thankful that God has created such an amazing woman like you who lives to make other people’s lives amazing.
