Blue Moon Retreats

I came across this some time ago, I read it often because it’s so damn good. I simply had to share it - on healthy relationship

Enjoy!

The healthiest relationships are the honest ones, the ones grounded in Presence, not fantasy or false hope, and a deep commitment to living in truth.

Where two souls can share their authentic, real-time, embodied selves with each other, reveal their deepest truths – raw, messy, unresolved, unfinished and rough at the edges - and continually let go of their preconceived, conditioned ideas about how they ‘should’ be.

The relationship is continually renewed in the crucible of intimacy. There may be ruptures, misunderstandings, intense feelings of doubt, anger, fear, anxiety and groundlessness along the way, yes, of course, but there is a mutual willingness to face this mess as it arises. To be vulnerable. To say “I hurt. I am in pain. I feel deep sorrow” and not blame the other for that pain. To say “I need some support” but not demand it of the other. To share desires and hopes and longings and dreams and not command that the other see things in the same way, or meet all of your needs. To receive their ‘no’ and their ‘yes’ too, even if it hurts. To stay in the crucible of transformation; to look with wide open eyes together at the present rupture, not turning away, or clinging to ‘the way it used to be’ or follow other people’s ideas about how things ‘should’ be. To let second-hand concepts of happiness burn up. To sit together sometimes in the rubble of shattered dreams and expectations, plans and hopes, and work towards finding a place of reconnection, repair and reconstruction. This is the courageous and often intense work of relationship.

Even if we have to start by admitting deep feelings of disconnection. This is a relationship that is alive. A relationship that makes space for our deepest longings, fears, pains, yet does not expect the other to resolve these, or take the hurt away. That asks the other to be a witness, a midwife for our own healing. And offers the same in return.

To inspire each other to find our own happiness. Even if that means letting go of the relationship in its current form. Love holds the other lightly, it does not cling or attempt to control. It only wants the best for the other, only wants them to step into their power, live their fullest life, find their deepest joy, follow their original path, learn to love their bodies and their own deepest feelings, and find new ways to take care of themselves.

“I love you, and I want you to flourish”.

Relationship can be the ultimate yoga, yes, an ever-deepening adventure and rediscovery of ourselves and each other, rediscovering ourselves in the mirror of each other, a continual letting-go and a meeting, a dance of aloneness and togetherness, not losing ourselves in either extreme but playing somewhere in the middle. Sometimes coming together, sometimes moving apart. Closeness and space. Intimacy with other, intimacy with self. Breathing in, breathing out.

Relationship is not a place we reach, a point of arrival, a destination; it is alive, and forever a point of departure, a new beginning, each day.

There is excitement in the not knowing. There is life in the continual death of expectations. Staying close to a healthy fear of loss. Staying near to the groundlessness of things without losing ourselves in that groundlessness. Finding safety in the uncertainty. Finding a new ground in the power of love itself. Standing where we stand. Breathing in, and breathing out.

As Eckhart Tolle says, relationships aren't here to make us happy - for true and lasting Happiness lies within us all, that unshakable Presence that nobody can ultimately give us, or take away.

Others will not complete us. They will not save us, or resolve our deepest inner experience for us. They will, however, give us the gift of exposing our wounds, our inner children, those lost fragments, bringing them to the surface, the places within us that are crying out for empathy, those beautiful orphans of the light.

And then, a risk! To reveal our raw hearts, our loneliness, our vulnerability, our sensitivity, our not knowing, our joy, our ‘shameful’ secrets, to another human being on this small blue planet in the vastness of space. To drop the mask and expose the unprotected, unguarded heart. To risk being rejected, left alone, shamed and ridiculed. To risk a repetition of the old, perhaps.

But a bigger ‘risk’, maybe: To be loved for who we are! To be held in the blinding light of another’s fascinated attention, like a baby held with such tenderness by an adoring, attentive mother. To be met in the present moment, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. To let in the New. To risk losing the image, the false self, the carefully constructed persona, and to let another embrace the softness here.

This is the highest possibility of relationship - to see another’s exquisitely delicate heart and to let your own soft heart be seen. In the seeing, there can be healing, transformation, great beauty. We can be therapeutic vessels for our brothers and sisters. We can bring each other medicine, encouragement and great companionship on this sometimes lonely path of coming alive before we die.

And maybe it takes a lifetime to discover:

The One you always longed for was actually deep inside of you. And to have that One reflected by another – a partner, a friend, a lover, a therapist, or an animal, a tree, a mountain, the moon or the Vastness of the Cosmos – even if it’s only for a moment…

…well, then you know Heaven on Earth."~

I am reminded of the passage:

The treasure that we seek is to be discovered, not in where we are going but within the simple nature of the very footsteps we take. In our rush to find a better situation in time we trample over the flower of beingness that presents itself in every moment.

Which way the wind blows you...

Determining your day to day passage.

What brings us together, what lights our hearts?

The path can be lonely, it can also feel crowded and suffocating.

And yet, one foot, and then the next we move towards joy, we move away from self inflicted suffering and we realize we are now and have always been a dance partner with the wind.

Come dance with the wind July 8 @ 530

The one thing that changed the game for me!

My health and wellness journey began in 2015 with early morning visits to Motion Fitness.

Man – did I work some s%*t out on that treadmill.

At that time there were a lot of things that were NOT OK in my life, but I just kept on going as if they were.

• I was in a loveless marriage that provided zero support.

• I was drinking at least 1-2x a week to excess.

• I had zero idea of what my mindset even was, never mind what it meant to have a positive one that was conducive to a fulfilling life.

• I was holding onto trauma I did not even know I had.

• I was full of rage and anxiety, and I had no idea why.

Those mornings on that treadmill helped. I allowed my mind to spew every unpleasant thought it could come up with. Every ounce of victim mentality poured from me – it was as if I released it through my pours. Right there on that treadmill.

At the end of my work out I would use the yoga studio at the back of the gym. It was nice and private.

It was there I first began a meditation practice or a Shamanic Journey Practice??– I had no clue what I was doing.

All I knew was that, if I took some time, closed my eyes, and visualized this beautiful peaceful place by a stream I felt 110% better.

And so eventually the running turned to quiet contemplation. The quiet contemplation allowed me to realize the things that I really wanted in this life. The things I wanted to feel, wanted to experience, wanted to help people with… WAIT WHAT?

I realized that I really, really want to help people.

And 9 years later I am happy to say I am doing just that in a way that allows me to be the most effective and reach the right people that will benefit the most from my service.

Tools help, having a steady routine helps. When you are not sure what to do, start doing something positive every day and allow that to be the seed from which the rest of your life can begin to grow from.

At the beginning of my journey had I known about high vibrational practices it would have made an enormous impact. That is why I have created my FREE E-Book – 7 Morning Practices to Raise Your Vibration & Align with Joy. Anyone at any stage of the journey can do these practices.

This book contains the most potent practices I came across over the last 9 years that I used every day that had the capacity to change the momentum of my life and steer it into absolute loving fulfillment.

These practices changed the game for me, I know they can help you too.

Join us Monday, July 8th for an evening of connection and soul nourishment. Just 10 mins outside of Saskatoon, in the peaceful and picturesque acreage community Tuscan Ridge Estates.

Cacao • Yoga • Breathwork • Soundbath

Associated with the color red, the Root Chakra (Muladhara) is the energy system located at the base of the spine. Corresponding to the Earth element, it represents our connection to the physical world, security, and basic survival needs. It acts as the root system of our energetic body, providing a sense of stability and grounding.

One of our favourite retreat arrival rituals is our root juice welcoming drink.

We are passionate about creating a safe space for you to explore your inner landscape and unearth the truth of your being.

We gather in sovereignty as community.

We gather to heal, empower, and uplift one another.

We honour our heart and mother Gaia with the blessings of her spirit, Cacao.

We revitalize our prana – our vital life force through Kundalini yoga practice.

We release and let go any stagnant energy that no longer serves through somatic 9D breath work.

We crescendo into bliss during a crystal tones sound bath.

If your soul is calling, it is time to answer.

Sacred Cacao. 🙏🌿
Where were you when you tried your first sip?

We offer this Sacred drink at each and every Blue Moon Retreat experience.🌕💙

Dear Cacao:
...I know that I am held in reverence as I hold her just the same.

My nervous system settles, I am among friends, light beings like me - finding their way.

I prepare to honour the moment and dive into my reality head first - I bring the warm cup to my heart.

I am greatful for mamma Cacao & her heart opening, heart softening medicine🙏

Taking my first sip, harmony flows through me connecting me to the earth.

I have arrived💙

We meditate to allow the mind to simply BE.

Not to do, decide, plan, calculate, consider...or any other thing the mind thinks it needs to be doing.

JUST BE 🌕💙 YOU ARE ENOUGH!

Sometimes, we go through chapters in life where it seems as if nothing is happening. We do our inner work, soften into the process, and cultivate patience as we hold the vision. We focus on all we have to be grateful for in our life and ready ourselves for the coming fruition. In the words of Abraham Hicks “Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment... Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand”

Then a day comes when our life is ready to come to full bloom. A new chapter emerges, a fresh beginning buds from the seeds we have planted throughout our journey. The blossom of our true essence, our gifts to the world are the petals that unfold.

This day retreat is centred around themes of reflection and renewal as we harness the vibrant energy of the Full Flower Moon. An invitation to reflect on the cyclical nature of life and embrace the transformative power of change. We will create a space to embrace this energy and reconnect with our inner wisdom as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and blossoming.

Join us at the beautiful Lindal Chalet surrounded by nature.

What you can look forward to:

- An all-inclusive experience (delicious homemade meals with a plant based focus and full itinerary included)

- Flower Bath Salt DIY Workshop - make a take home floral bath soak for a Flower Full Moon relaxing bath ritual.

- Aztec Purification Ceremony - a beautifully nurturing ceremony that begins with a heart opening cup of cacao that invites us to feel, to surrender, to trust and to listen to the wisdom within. The ritual is dedicated to the four elements of life that symbolizes love for the whole of creation. It uses smudging and other energetic cleansing techniques to purify the energy field, fortify the spirit, and rebalance life force energy.

- Sundeck Yoga - tune into the subtle energy within through Kundalini yoga. This ancient practice utilizes a combination of embodied movement, breath work, mantra, and meditation and has a beautiful way of calming the nervous system and bringing about a sense of peace and ease. In the sweet moments between poses, the fullness of who we are is amplified.

- Breathwork - embark on a masterfully crafted sound and breathwork experience that facilitates life-changing transformation. Inspired by acceptance and gratitude, this haven sparks a rebirth, fostering emotional resilience and inner peace.

- Soundbath - a harmonious embrace of Crystal Tones singing bowls and vocals to truly integrate all that you will have embodied & released throughout the day. An infusion of high frequency sound, binaural beats, and solfeggio frequencies to take you on a sound healing journey.
