Letting Go Retreats

[I liked best] Letting myself do what was best for me, moment to moment…. Being curious about my reactions and having awareness of other’s stuff and knowing it’s THEIR stuff.

Noticing how speaking is violent, noticing how harmful ‘care taking’ is to one’s personal power. It’s actually a form of destruction and it keeps people from learning to trust themselves and drains their power. Listening to Dale’s talk about Ego and its purpose…. I have tremendous clarity. It all makes sense now. I am better ‘equipped’ to explore what I want to do next and what I expect at workshops.

—Elise Buskey

The gentleness of the process was like being wrapped in velvet…. I’m leaving here secure in the knowledge that I now have confidence to really listen to what I need…. I found the whole experience so very powerful and I know in my heart that if I listen carefully I know what I need.

I came with few expectations other than [facing] my death. I was compelled to experience my grief so deeply, so profoundly, impressing rather than expressing my sorrows. This was difficult and ultimately very rewarding, to learn to sit on and be with what was stirring in me instead of dumping it verbally, and to feel it viscerally instead and not shortcutting what was necessary.

The retreat helped me feel connected in a very immediate way to the web of life and how we are all connected, throughout time and geographic space.

I was able to uncover deep wounds and had the time, space and support to heal and let go. I left in a much better state of mind with new tools for living the life I want.... One of the best things I've ever done for myself.
