Women gathered, women shared at the Awesome Life Retreat April 29th, 2016, hosted at Windhorse Farm in New Germany by Heather Crosby-Gionet of Encourage Inspire.
It was a very powerful weekend filled over and over again with words like exploration, gratitude, contentment, happiness, becoming, love, tribe and celebration. Everyone took away something different and left a little piece of themselves imprinted on the place, I'm sure! We laughed a lot, cried a little, pushed our comfort limits (for me it was having my photograph taken by Heather), explored some new ways to relax, learned something new and savoured the amazing food and new friendships. I had plans to do a lot of photos while I was there, but instead, I just....didn't. And it was LOVELY! Brittany of Hind Hart Studios was there to get all the details- I can't wait to see it all!
A couple years ago, I had a gal from Halifax do a chalk piece for me photography logo. Through an odd set of circumstances, we never got to meet in person. We had communicated a lot through email during her creation process, and I was disappointed at the time that I didn't get to meet the person who made me this special (to me) piece of art. On the first night of this retreat, we were each assigned a table. At my table was Lisa MacPherson of Scribble & Script, who did my art piece. I finally got to meet her! She had her paper-junkie-friend Rebecca Dimock (Paper Chain) beside her and we are planning to have a coffee/paper date some time I am in the city #paperjunkiesunite .
Thank you, Heather, for living an Awesome Life!
