Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Greetings dear yoga students,
We had a wonderful time at the Yoga Darshana Center’s Restoration Retreat at Camp DeWolfe this past weekend. It was both enlivening and restorative. Being with a community of like minded people in a beautiful setting focusing on spiritual awareness is a wonderful way to connect back to your own soul healing capacities. As I walked along the beach early Sunday morning alone preparing for the Fire Ceremony to come (we were to burn a paper with what we wished to let go of in our lives and keep the paper with what we wish to bring in to our lives), I came across a horseshoe crab that had died within its shell and was covered in barnacles and other shells that had stuck to it and the following insight came to me.
“We need to shed our current shell in order to grow or we will wither and die as the small space around us is no longer what we need. If we hang on to the past and allow it to stick to us, we will be weighed down and be unable to move forward. Let go, embrace change, become vulnerable, take care of yourself, enjoy the journey and trust that the place you are traveling to is worth it”
