Energize Your Feminine Fire
The Energize Your Feminine Fire Retreat that took place at the Kalani Oceanside Retreat, Hawaii in June 2004.
Imagine…
- listening to the ocean waves while you gently fall asleep
- waking up each morning to the scent of plumerias while feeling the cool, gentle breeze on your skin
- tasting delicious, nourishing food created with love
- swaying your body sensuously to the beat of the natural rhythms of Hawaii
- letting your tension and stress drift away as you float in a Watsu pool or gently stretch with morning Yoga
- time for yourself to quietly reflect
- intimate connection with women just like you
- celebrating life
- deeply connecting to your feminine fire
And all of this came to pass ....
A group of powerful women came together and shared the spirit of Aloha ( alo means 'in the presence of' and ha means 'the divine breath of life' ) with Michele Finstad, MNA, and Jeannie Campanelli, Ed.D., certified life coaches, within a poignant, alive and heartful space a the Kalani Oceanside Retreat on the BIG ISLAND of Hawaii. Kalani honua means "harmony of heaven and earth."
We indulged our senses while merging with the sacred rhythms of Hawaii. This transformational retreat for women, based on a foundation of co-active coaching, offered restorative healing and self-discovery through:
- yoga
- journaling
- dance
- drumming
- art
- bodywork
- storytelling and
- the direct experience of a spectacular and magical setting.
Emphasis was on celebrating our essence as women.
We resided for eight days and seven nights amidst the relaxed and sacred beauty of 'old' Hawaii where we explored nearby attractions. Kalani was a special place, a sacred space, a safe container that soothed our spirits as we left behind daily responsibilities. Kalani is where we gave ourselves the gift of self-discovery and expression.
Here's what the women said about their experience
“I got a sense of myself – a wholeness – that I never had before and now feel happier being ‘me’. I experienced myself in a new way. Ever since, I have been talking about this with my friends, and I’d like to do the retreat with them because I know it would deepen our friendship.”
“I reinvented myself as a woman and got in touch with things that were hidden inside of me – sexuality, sensuality, beauty, movement and grace. I deepened my sense of my spiritual self and my sensual self.”
“I owned who I am and how powerful I am.”
“I got in touch with my body, mind and spirit in a whole new way and am now integrating all of me into my life.”
