Retreat In the Rainforest

A reprieve from a busy week

Driving up to this beautiful place, Earthspring Sanctuary, a sanctuary perched on a hill in the middle of the rainforest, about 25 kilometers away from my home where Douglas Fir, Cedar, mosses, Arbutus, a network of trails to hills and other giants extending their branches in welcome was exactly what my soul needed this weekend.

The roofing of this rustic sanctuary was covered with thick lime green moss. I paused to take it all in. Mother nature opened my soul and lifted my curious and expectant spirit to what gifts the day would bring.

Right in the heart of Gaia. Big trees. Rainforest. Whole foods. Good conversation. Good energies. 32 Creative women and 3 brave men all seeking a connection and development of our inner Divine Feminine came together for what was called the Goddess Retreat. A weekend that was focused on learning and practicing ancestral tools for self-healing.

But before any of these happened, I found myself exploring the grounds of the sanctuary finding my centre and being carried in the energies that were calling me that day. It is true that nature beckons your soul home. Home to you.

The next morning, I woke up to drizzles and a thick fog. Initially hesitant to venture outside, I eventually succumbed after a brief meditation. Amidst the hills, surrounded by nature and solitude, I found the perfect space for my soul to express itself. Following my inner guidance, I climbed to the top of a hill overlooking the treetops. In this moment of connection with my soul, I discovered a clear purpose for the year ahead — a direction for my literary creativity.

With that gift, I slowly made my way down the hill to the sanctuary and joined the others for breakfast.

Embracing the tranquility of the space, I found solace in the whispers of nature and the clarity of my soul’s purpose. Feeling renewed and inspired, I feel eager to embark forward on my journey with newfound creativity and direction. With each step forward, I carry the memory of that sacred hill, where I discovered the power of solitude and the magic of self-discovery.
