Soul Restoration May 2018

Hi friends!

Today I want to share a little bit about the Soul Restoration Retreat I held at Summer House Park on Miller Lake this past spring. I first want to say that Summer House Park is amazing!! They are a family run campground and resort and it shows. They sure do make you feel like family. Darcey and all her staff made myself and my guests feel so cared for. We had all our meals at the Café and I have to tell you, we did not go away hungry.  We stayed in a cute little cottage and I was able to hold our classes in their recreation hall, which had a fully functional kitchen, had we wanted to use it. Surrounded by nature we truly were able to 'go where the peace is."

Soul Restoration is a course created by my friend Melody from Brave Living and is full of creative goodness, deep soul work, ample quiet time and fellowship with women. If you have read my blog before, you know how much this course has grown me and continues to grow me.

Along with my friend Julie, we had the pleasure of pampering a woman that I have known for a long time. We were a small group and honestly that was a huge blessing. It relieved a lot of stress and I was able to truly share the Soul Restoration experience and keep things simple because I knew that my guest has loved me for a long time and I did not have to prove anything to her. I was really able to make it about her and her restoration. And Julie, she sent me a message last fall when she heard I was planning on holding a retreat and offered to help. I think I almost cried. Something, I learned through this whole thing, is when you start living your truth, other people want to help you. I was so blessed to have Julie.

The wonderful thing about spring in Grey/Bruce county is that every day the nature around you changes. I have taken that for granted but Julie (who is from Arizona) reminded me how amazing it is. We watched an apple tree go from tiny buds to in bloom over the course of a few days. It occurs to me that Soul Restoration and soul work in general is much like that. While we were transforming, so was that beautiful tree.

  The benefit of having a small group is I was also able to participate in all the activities and subsequently complete Soul Restoration again, Julie too. So as we watch our guest transform, so did we. It does not matter how many times you take Soul Restoration, another layer gets peeled off every time.

It was such a good time that I'm already planning my next one. Tentative date is May 21 - 25. For more info you can email me hello@wildflowersouls.ca And watch my website. I'm hoping registration will be open Oct or Nov.

Thank you for stopping by. All photos by Julie from http://jthorntonphotos.com/

2018 a vision

Hello friends,
Last week I was encouraged by my coach to share my 2018 vision with the universe. I chose to do a FB live on my personal page last week. I was so nervous that I forgot to share much of what I wanted to share. So I decided, I'd also share my vision here on my blog.
A great way to declare a vision is to speak as if you have already achieved the vision you are declaring. So, if you ask me at the end of 2018 how my new business venture went, this is what I'll say.

2018 was amazing!! I've created and grown Wildflower Souls into a safe space for women to reconnect with their one true soul. My sister Patti, created an amazing logo for me. It completely embodies everything Wildflower Souls is. She, along with my bestfriend and IT guy, Andre have created a beautiful website for me. I've learned how to use MailChimp to send beautiful and joyful newsletters to my growing email list.

I've held 6 free SoulBook gatherings in my home this year. Sarah, from Her Wellness downtown has also provided rental space for me and I have held 4 other Brave Girl workshops there. Even women I have never met have joined me. Every women who joined me in these gatherings and workshops have left with a renewed self love and a taste of what Soul Restoration is. Many are telling me that they now feel as if they have enough love to also give to our community.

My May retreat, held at Summer Park House on Miller Lake, sold out. In fact, there was more interest than I had expected. It was exactly what I hoped for. Darci and her amazing staff helped me and my helpers create an AMAZING retreat space. The peace and calm of the lake feeling our souls. My 10 guests walked away with renewed love for themselves and others. We celebrated our sameness. We created pretty personal art. The women learned that their story matters. The women realized that they are beautiful souls that are still learning, they realized that the women next to them are beautiful souls who are still learning. They gave each other an abundance of grace cards. My women discovered that no matter what age they are, they are still becoming. They still have dreams and hopes and those dreams and hopes matter. I witnessed miracles. Darci and I are already planning for 2019. 

I learned a lot about being a leader. I learned to plan big and small events. I learned how to make a budget for those events, which lead me to making a budget for myself. WHAT!? I had a lot of help this year. The more I showed up for this big dream, the more the people I loved showed up to help me. I created connection this year. And I can't wait to see what I create in 2019!!

So there you have it folks, this is what my 2018 will look like.
