CALLING ALL MY POWER BACK
I had a wonderful, nourishing, and empowering women’s retreat last weekend in San Diego with Christine Hassler. My last retreat with her was eleven years ago, in the relaxed embrace of Tulum. How time spirals and weaves, folding us back into ourselves in new forms.
Eleven years, a double digit number, and often one some of us assign to angelic messengers. In that time, I’ve crossed numerous oceans, written books, grieved deeply, healed parts of myself I didn’t know were calling, and stood barefoot in both the raw ache and the magnificent awe of womanhood. One of those creations, my first book “Soul Blessings”; Christine so generously offered a beautiful testimonial for in 2018. That book, born of deep intention and grace, went on to receive the Silver Nautilus Award, a moment of deep affirmation for me and the feminine medicine and wisdom I offer through words. Although I have doubted my self at times.
To return, full circle, to be in sacred space with Christine again… it felt like a homecoming not just to her, but to the parts of myself that first whispered my own desires to rise, way back in Tulum. This weekend’s retreat held me in all my layers… softened, deepened, ripened, and abundantly ready In receiving.
For many women, we’ve lived out of balance with our giving, offering so much of ourselves while forgetting the sacred flow of reciprocity. The spiritual laws of compensation, circulation, and divine exchange are always present, patiently waiting to support us. We are deserving by the very fact of our existence. And yet, we often need the gentle reminder: You are allowed to receive.
