I have just returned from the first ever ‘Create Your Life’ Women’s retreat which took place from 16-18 March in the cozy 7 Hills Lodge in the beautiful Belgian Ardennes.
I feel so privileged and grateful to have been able to coach 10 wonderfully creative women into the secrets of the Create Your Life steps.
We started the first day with a yoga class followed by the first step of the program, which is INTENTION. The first task at hand was to create a Vision Board.
This may seem playful and easy, but it is a very powerful tool to get your inner, creative you to choose pictures ‘from the gut’ that it wants to have in your near, new future.
First you take a bunch of magazines.
Then you cut or tear out the pictures you like.
You select, sort, arrange on the posterboard.
You glue.
And voilà!
In the afternoon, visionboards were turned into written intentions, an exercise that takes time and energy. Luckily the lodge has a pool and a sauna for relaxation and we had Flip, the male cherry on top of the women’s retreat cake, who provided amazing massages.
Saturday night was open mike night and all women were invited to sing a song, tell us a story or teach us something. By then the group had already become quite tight knit and the most amazing talents popped up!
Sunday was the day of ELIMINATION and was again started with a yoga class given by Jennifer. This step is all about eliminating roadblocks and obstacles on the way to our dreamscape vision. Some of the tools are pretty easy to integrate into our daily lives but they will have big results.
During the whole time, we had the most amazing food, lovingly prepared by the Happ people. It made us very Happ-y and healthy.
All in all, the weekend was a great experience, both for me as the organizer as for the participating women.
I will meet them again soon to find out how they have managed to come closer to their dream vision.
Will keep you posted!
And if you are also interested in creating your life, I will be organizing another retreat in November. So, why not to get more information?
