Enjoy your retreat! I like what Thich Nhat Hahn said : I would like to declare today '' Today's Day,'' a day dedicated to touching the earth, touching the sky, touching the trees, and touching the peace that is available in the present moment. Ilona, thank you for sharing!
I too, zipped through my earlier years, like there was some ultimate destination. Is it now? Maybe, but my now is slow and intentional. Lots of pauses. Enjoy your wondrous retreat! ♥️
beautiful to witness your dream come true. you have done what you set out to do...to create a place for women to travel and retreat themselves into self growth. bravo!
Ah, Ilona this so resonated with me - I am at the same phase in my life and just want rich experiences not productiveness. Just yesterday I was listening to a fabulous podcast, that said we are "Human Beings" nor "Human Doers" - we seem to have suddenly turned into a collective that rewards productivity, and simply not being present. I know which I prefer.
“We are setting down the weight of 'shoulds' and opening not just to what life might whisper, but to the beautiful truth that we belong everywhere we choose to plant our brave hearts.” - I love this! Your trip sounds amazing. Such important work to bring women together 💖
Holding the container for a group of trusting souls, even in amazing places, is indeed a balance of pleasure and work.
When teaching asana classes, I remember often instructing students that the pause in the breath and the pose was an opportunity for repose. Your post reminds me of that, Ilaona.
Bravo, polee kalo! As someone posted recently on Reddit, after age 60 time is more valuable than money. Make the most of it!
Ευχαριστώ for your constant support, my love 🩵

Human doers! Yes, I so want to return to being. Thanks for sharing the wise words.

YES to this: "But what if I chose differently? What if courage, not fear, guided my next chapter?"
Thank you.
