In the Presence of Wise Women
I have just returned from the US Virgin Islands where I led a women’s retreat, entitled “Embracing Change & Moving Gracefully through Life.” Once again, I was awed by the power of sisterhood that occurs when women gather together with focus and intention.
We stayed in the beautiful eco-resort Maho Bay Camps on St John’s Island. Living in tent cabins, eating and meeting in open air pavilions, and basking in the Caribbean seas, our senses were saturated by the sounds and rhythms of nature. On the first two days we explored the phenomena of change and how to manage the inevitable transitions of life. I presented the signs, purpose, and detours of the Seasons of Change module created by Carol McClelland, and my co-leader Linda Marrical explained the principles of yin/yang and the natural flow of the five elements as described by Chinese medicine.
