Join me on the 'Because I can't help falling in love with you' Treat...
I feel a wave of excitement gently rise within as my intuition speaks ever so freely and with that air of confidence and grace, signalling to my human form. It’s time to share who I am, what I am about, what I do and what I love. “Show yourself by gathering small intimate groups together in a retreat setting” is the calm and confident message from my intuition. I take my note book and pen and express my thoughts and what I am sensing down on the pages.
In moments I get drawn to the word Retreat.
I look at the word retreat carefully and my curiosity leads me to look up the word in the dictionary. I read the definition and say to myself, “that’s interesting” and then write down a few more thoughts as a result of my findings:
Retreat noun
An act of moving back or withdrawing. Withdraw to a quiet or secluded place. Change ones decisions, plans or attitude as a result of criticism from others.
As I begin to give my intuition a voice and express what I am sensing these intimate gatherings to be like, their purpose and my role in being of service in this sacred space I desire to create, I notice the description words I use to describe the retreats I am planning to facilitate all have the prefix ‘Re’: Relax, Rejoice, Reclaim, Remaster, Rethink, React, Respond, Relearn, Relive, Recapture, Request, Recondition, Recreate.
With a sense to satisfy my curiosity and interest I gain more insight by looking up the origins of 'Re'. Here are some cool facts I found:
Re is a late Middle English word dating back to 1400-50. Refer to Gamut which has 2 meanings. 1) the entire scale of range. The gamut of dramatic emotion from grief to joy. And, 2) Music. A) The whole series of recognised musical notes. B) the major scale. Interestingly other words for gamut are, sweep, breadth, scoop and extent.
Re is a prefix with a meaning again, back or indicates repetition.
Re (rey) the syllable used for the second tone of a diatonic scale.
All this looking into reminded me that everything is energy, including the words we speak. Making what was revealed as a result of self exploration very interesting. The fact that these two letters r and e together has a musical meaning and produces a musical note is a reminder also of the vibration in music. Whether listening to, playing or singing, music we create a vibrational energy.
In fact this whole idea about retreats and the meaning of retreat got me thinking about starting a new trend and just calling them Treats. Well at least the ones I am creating.
The 'I can’t help falling in love with you Treat' is simply all about that; Loving, and falling in love with yourself. Nurturing you begins well before you arrive at this sacred space. Anything you decide upon for your wellbeing and take action steps toward bringing it into and making it your realty and experience, is an act of self love and kindness. From the second you decide to come along for the two days the self love is activated inside you. Maybe you can notice or feel a vibration as a result. That vibration is like giving yourself a vitamin tablet, only better, its produced by you, within you. Its organic. It is your natural nature Love, joy and peace.
That leads me nicely into the nature of these two day Treats.
As a result of my own learning on my inward journey, I noticed how I began to get into an organic way of doing things. I noticed the old ways that often were rushed and emotional changed to calm flowing and relaxed. Organic the other thing I noticed and felt great about was, I focussed on my wellbeing daily. Not only was this beginning to be a daily practice, it was becoming organic. I began to realise I was experiencing living life from the inside out. And that’s what these two day treats are all about. Life anything new you learn, practise is essential. The difference with practicing this kind of mindfulness is you. The inward journey is strengthening your relationship with you. Go all the way, fall in love with yourself.
Yes they are retreats as your surrounds play an important role in creating a vibration. A place where you feel comfortable is essential. The retreating part is coming away from your usual surrounds, environment. The coming away. Having said that, I am feeling quite bold right now and I am officially calling my retreats treats!
(I just noticed something….I catch myself laughing from what I can only describe as that magic we all have inside of us when we, our physical form gains the awareness of this power…the word treat reminds me of how complete we are …I simply notice re within the word tREat!)
Treat, noun:
An event or item that is out of the ordinary and gives great pleasure.
Verb,
1) behave toward or deal with in a certain way
2) give medical care or attention to; try to heal or cure
Another explosion of joy within as I realise what it is I want to get through as a result of gathering intimate groups at these treats. Essentially my intention is to share and assist where I can to help you learn how you can raise your awareness to the truth that I have found through my own inward journey and now ready to share my realisations. A major one being, transforming and changing doesn’t have to be challenging or overwhelming. In fact I am here to share that with a little practice, it is simple. Almost like noticing the thing you thought you lost or are looking for is right in front of you!! Yeah just like that in fact.
Yet again, this has been another joy filled experienced. I feel abundance of gratitude with seeing this blog writing as an opportunity to shine and share, grow and heal and connect and watch if you wish, do the same.

Love always,
