Treat The Body - Expand The Soul -> Retreat 1st weekend of June 2017, in Methow Valley, WA

LynnB and I are offering a retreat, first weekend in June
in Methow Valley, east of North Cascades National Park (North of Seattle, East of Cascade Mountains)

We have offered several retreats in this place, and it is always a WOW!

It is beautiful country, should be great weather, and we are attracting a wonderful small group of friends and friends-to-be.

The focus of this workshop is body & spirit relationship - self love and care, AND caring for others as well - on our path to Opening to the Light…

You can see more here:
- I will be posting some more sharing around our body relationship here, so even if unsure, consider marking yourself as interested, if you wanna read my posts ;)

or if no Facebook:

Please come, and bring friends, 
always more fun with a buddy!

PS 
This is my overarching vision for this retreat: what is the heart of this experience
(BTW, most of this post is not part of the weekend overtly, but it is the background conversation of the event, for me)

Chop Wood, Carry Water: the Body/Spirit Light-filled Dance of the Soul:
Radical care for our Bodies and Engagement with our World, as our spiritual practice

Everyone resonating for 3 days in: 
- easeful, fun & graceful 
- community, meditation, learning & practicing sessions, private healing sessions, melting into nature, private-time, connection-time...



Chop Wood, Carry Water: the Body/Spirit Light-filled Dance of the Soul: Part 1 of Radical care for our Bodies and Engagement with our World, as our spiritual practice


Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water;
After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.
–Wu Li

Jesus keeps showing me, over and over, in the last months:


the most necessary thing for 
  • Living IN, 
  • being more FILLED-WITH, 
  • Dancing more AS 
the Light, Love, Truth, Way… Spirit - in this world;

is nurturing care of the body - physically and spiritually.

... Which, BTW, directly leads to nurturing engagement with this world physically and spiritually.


.

Jesus’ words to me, about this:
Before enlightenment, nurture the body:  After enlightenment, nurture the body.



Why?  
Why does caring for our body matter SO much? 

  • Because for our body to hold SO much Light, ever more Light (there is no end to this practice! ; )
  • Our body Must be strong, have integrity... be healed, supported, nurtured, beloved, coordinated-with /co-created-with /communicated-with (and there is no end to this practice! ;)



The body-spirit relationship IS the dance of our Soul in this Universe. 
It IS the game - neither body nor spirit can be left behind. 

IF we want to play, 
IF we want to win, 
IF we want to Master this incredible opportunity of Life on this planet (which affects us and all realities throughout and beyond time);
We must fully engage body and spirit to partner in this world, together.

In life!
Wendy

Engagement with our World : Part 2 of Radical care for our Bodies and Engagement with our World, as our spiritual practice

If you haven't already, please see Part 1

Basically, it says:

It is essential, as we learn to BE the Light in this world, 
that we invest-in
Radical care for our bodies
and
Engagement with our World,
AS our an integral part of our spiritual practice.

so let's talk more about...

Engagement with our World

Some are called to be a monastic  - but less and less of us. 
More and more of us (this means You : ) who would have been monastics, 
instead we are learning to find a different soul balance:

Jesus called this IN the world, but not OF the world 
- to be Living Identified as Spirit, 
Fully Engaged IN the world, 
but not Identified WITH this world.

.
Our spiritual need is supplied within, IN our soul - not from outside ourselves, in the world; 
AS (and then) we meet the physical aspect of our needs IN the Physical World.

SO, for example:

We can be filled with love, spiritually, filled up, and overflowing with love - to all around us - spiritually.
Spiritually, our need for love is met - we are filled with Love, we ARE love.

Meanwhile, we BE love in the world, we DO love in the world.
Naturally/then we dance love IN this world, with all our relations - in ways that are real in the world.

    SO - what does this Mean?  What does it look-like when our Body & Spirit Team gets it together?
    basically:
    • Showing up - Present and engaged, here and now, with what is, with all our cylinders firing.
    • Being Captain of our Life - Taking the Helm, in charge of ourselves and our space (our body and our energy system), and Acting into the world as we chose (instead of reacting)
    • Playing to WIN - Kicking Ass - playing our Own Game, full-out (our Calling, our Unique Path: the Game we are Here to Play, that only we can play!)

    And this is SO Good, such a Blessing when we as spirit fully engage with our world!
    - the more we own-it, the more and more of a blessing it is to be here on this earth.
    - the less we own it, it can feel like a curse to walk this earth (nasty, brutish, short...)
    So, Let's Own it!

    .
    Blessings on your Unique Path,
    Wendy

    Radical care for our Bodies : Part 3 of Radical care for our Bodies and Engagement with our World, as our spiritual practice

    If you haven't already, please see Part 1

    It is essential, as we learn to BE the Light in this world, 
    that we invest-in
    Radical care for our bodies
    and
    Engagement with our World,
    AS our an integral part of our spiritual practice.

    so let's talk more about what makes all this possible...

    Radical care for our bodies 

    No matter if our path draws us to be engaged in the world a little or a lot,
    If we want to behold and reflect the Light, and realize that we ARE the Light,
    we Must care-for, heal, support, balance, strengthen… our body, and how our body relates to this reality.

    Spiritually, we must repair our relationship with our body and with this reality.
    The layers of this healing go deep and wide, and often take a long time heal.

    It is vital, as we bring In the Light into the world:
    • Spiritually, allowing our bodies to be cleansed, held, nurtured, validated, transformed… and 
    • Physically, doing what the body needs to be cleansed, held, nurtured, validated, transformed…

    The higher and more we want to BE the Light, and SHINE the Light, 
    the More support the physical body needs.

    Of course we know, spiritually, we are already ONE with Spirit, with ALL - we are already Light (Love, Truth, Life…)
    But here on the physical, it is our joy and our challenge to:
    • Enjoy Life, Abundantly WITH the world of dichotomies - life/death, love/hate, truth/lie, light/dark, I/Thou…
    • Engage Life, Abundantly ON sandbox earth - playing, investing our energy, time and resources INTO this world: creating, creating, creating… destroying, destroying, destroying... repeat.
    • Learn Life, Abundantly WITHIN schoolhouse earth - practicing, falling and rising, iterating, maturing, becoming who we ARE INTO the World...
    • Dance Life, Abundantly IN the Change Game - healing, growing, transforming, evolving... in a world (collectively and individually) that is doing the same.

    .
    Blessings on your Unique Path,
    Wendy

    Amazing Gifts of Living IN the body, in this Reality : Part 4 of Radical care for our Bodies and Engagement with our World, as our spiritual practice

    If you haven't already, please see Part 1

    It is essential, as we learn to BE the Light in this world, 
    that we invest-in
    Radical care for our bodies
    and
    Engagement with our World,
    AS our an integral part of our spiritual practice.

    so let's talk more about the Amazing gifts of this process:

    BEing the Light in this world

    SO, again - 
    Our spiritual need is supplied within, IN our soul - not from outside ourselves, in the world; 
    AS (and then) we meet the physical aspect of our needs IN the Physical World.

    This shows up in every aspect of our lives, including how we Experience, BE, and ACT in:
    • Belonging, fitting into our tribe, survival, work/career, finances, self-care;
    • Body relationship & needs, emotional balance & wellness - comfortable communication with the body, sex, desire, senses, sensuality, savoring art & culture;
    • Empowerment, boundaries, regaining our free-will and learning how to apply it;
    • Loving, experiencing the Oneness that is always our spiritual reality, connection with this reality and All our Relations;
    • Saying our Truth & hearing others, Creating our Life, Art & Healing into the world, living-in efficacious stories - mental wellbeing;
    • Seeing what IS and being seen in this world, resting in the driver's seat of our body/life;
    • Being with the Holy One, Knowing how to bring Spirit... Wisdom, Truth, Light, Life, Love into the Body... Knowing what is, and being known in this world.

    Living IN the body, in this Reality is a HUGE GIFT

    With respect, those who do not grok this are missing the joy of this existence

    - some miss it because so body-focused, physical reality-bound, they do not experience themselves as spirit embodied, or this world as a mystical arena.
    - some miss it because so ethereal, they want to be so 'spiritual', they are not fully here in their time/space, they pay no attention to the body, have no deep engagement with this reality,  they do not experience themselves as spirit embodied.
    - some are doing both, at the same time - which is Really No Fun ; )

    What a sad, sad situation, 
    because most of us are missing the Point of life, and 
    missing the GLORY and DELIGHT of life.
    • To be enlightened, is to be actively Light (Love, Truth, Life... Spirit) IN the Body
    • To be a spiritual Master in this Earth Game, is to learn to enjoy manifesting Life (Love, Truth, Light... Spirit) IN the Body, IN this reality (on earth as it is in heaven ; )

    We ARE Already, and we have all of eternity to BE Light. 
    We only have our time in the Body, to treasure the delicious experience of Life -> Light, Love, Truth... Spirit - IN the Body! IN this World!

    To live life turned-on, ALIVE and in the game…
    To do this comfortably, our bodies need validation, attention, intention, time, energy, and resources.

    We must Invest in the temple, the vessel, the body - if we want to bring in more Light.
    Light into our bodies, and into this world (Beholding and Reflecting as in a mirror the Glory)

    This is the beauty of this Life,
    for us to consciously engage at a soul-level:
    to know spirit and body, to weave spirit ON earth.

    And this is So Good!
    All of this (Radical care for our Bodies and Engagement with our World)
    is as important as arms outstretched on the mountaintop,
    or sitting in meditation/prayer, experiencing the ONEness.

    Such a Blessing is this life in the body! 
    - the more we own-it, the more of a blessing it is, to engage this body and this reality.

    I pray each one of us engages Life, as deeply as we can each day - increasing our capacity, iterating our experience, and sharing of the Light in our world.

    Amen

    .
    Blessings on your Unique Path,
    Wendy

    I’m enough

    Yesterday was March 4th 
    - my friend Gretchen celebrates this day: March Forth

    Yesterday I received a great blessing, a turning more fully into the Light.
    I woke up this morning so blessed.

    I am experiencing that I am enough in a whole new way
    and therefore, so many lies are falling-away.



    I’m enough

    I don’t need to figure out how to be/look less saggy and baggy.
    I don’t have to be stronger, faster, more graceful.

    I don’t need to be smarter, more well-read, more eloquent.
    i don’t need to figure out how to be less boring and more interesting.
    I don’t need more charisma.

    I don’t need to figure out how to fit-in better, be more normal, or be more cool.
    I don’t need to be more accommodating, more liked or respected by people.
    I don’t need a ton of cool friends and all the right connections.

    I don’t need the right house, the right car, the right clothes, the right manners and mannerisms.
    I don’t need a bigger mailing list, a bigger cash reserve or a retirement account to last until I am 101. 
    I don’t need to have the right structure in my business, in my web presence, in my daily practice.

    I don’t need more discipline.
    I don’t need more time.
    I don’t need more energy.

    .

    I don’t need more stuff or to purge like crazy.
    I don’t need to be more radiantly beautiful or to try to disappear.
    I don’t need to be younger or more fit & healthy.

    I don’t need to wait to be more healed on every level.
    I don't need to sign-up to be broken more, either.

    I don’t need more friends or less friends.
    I don’t need more support or less support.
    I don’t need more people to see me and understand me, and I don't need to get rid of the people in my life that are already there for me.

    I don’t need more clients or less clients.
    I don’t need more influence in the world or less engagement with the world.
    I don’t need to strive to grow my business, or to eschew it.
    I don’t need more security, money, respect... the amount I have is fine.

    .

    I am Just Right, and what I have is Just Right.
    I don’t need to add or subtract anything to be ENOUGH - whole and complete spiritually.

    And you know what this leads to?
    … it Has to also occur that:

    You are alright, too.
    All you are being and not being is all right.
    All you are doing and not doing is all right.
    I don’t have to fight you, judge you, help you, educate you, fix you - you are already whole and complete, spiritually.

    And, of course
    The world and everything beyond it, this whole soul game we are playing is alright too - whole and complete spiritually.

    All is well, and all manner of things shall be well.
    Yes, yes -  this is the spiritual reality.

    .

    Meanwhile,
    from a physical consciousness this is ridiculous, right?
    Yes, I agree from a physical respective, all is not well - very very not well.

    And this whole conversation is just plain ridiculous!
    Yes, ridiculous, until... as our soul matures, our spirit unveils, our body shifts... 
    this wellness, wholeness, enough-ness...becomes our experiential reality.

    And, this is not just theory - which is why I am sharing with you my experience.

    .

    Physically,
    we can be better and we can be worse… and we will be, no worries.
    We will continue to fight and make peace, judge and be judged, learn and forget, heal and break, on and on.

    This is the world we live-in: 
    sandbox earth, 
    a world of constant change, 
    learning, growth, transformation…

    Tikkun Olam - is the dance we are honored and blessed to participate-in:
    repairing the world, establishing the reign of the ONE in all of this reality. 
    - allowing ourselves and supporting each other to heal, to grow, to shine, to bloom.
    all of creation coming to our fruitionTeleios - spiritually and physically, in our beautiful soul dance

    It is a blessing to be continually co-creating wholeness manifested in our world, this produces very sweet fruit.
    But completion - coming to our full Potential in this world, personally or corporately,  
    can not be a precondition for our fundamental enough-ness; for us to spiritually be IN Rest & Ease, NOW.

    .

    So, deep within, 
    THIS experience of being ENOUGH really, really matters in my soul experience (and perhaps in yours).
    I am Being enough - NOW; Doing enough - NOW.
    This is what matters - NOW.

    I AM ok now.
    Halleluia.

    and so are you, 
    can you feel it?  
    do you want to? 
    : )

    .

    I used to feel like I would be enough... SOON.
    I would have my act a bit more together... SOON.
    I would get where I need to be, I would be well, i would experience that I was whole and complete... SOON.

    Feeling safe in my body,
    beautiful in my body,
    powerful in my body,
    able to communicate well in my body,
    making enough difference in the world,
    able to shine in the world,
    really being worthy of allowing goodness in my life…. soon.
    … hopefully tomorrow or next week, next month, next year… better, good enough... 

    But it turns out, of course,
    Today is the only day I have (and you too ; )

    And I am very grateful that today, I am enough.
    I don’t have to strive and try and chase and work-hard,
    and cover-up the not-enough,
    and hope to feel good-enough to exist, to be seen, to be known... soon.

    I’m enough - Now.

    I am sure this experience will vary by day for me.
    But today I’m enough - and I don't believe I will ever be the same.

    .

    What is your experience?

    Are you enough, now?
    If not, what is in the way?


    Blessings on your Unique Journey!
    Wendy

    PS
    I believe our path in this world
    is to bring the Perfection we already spiritually Are - our true selves: Light, Love, Truth...
    fully and uniquely manifested into this reality - this world, this body, this life

    Conscious Embodiment Intensive - a healing circle for mature women healers

    Come invest in deep work, with a safe, supportive group of women.
    Taking time to deepen together into a trusting community,
    and allowing the time it takes to step-by step reorganize our body experience and expression (because bodies take time, and that is beautiful ; )


    Engaging things like:
    • Consciously Embodying: breathing, moving, engaging healthy body-mechanics, touching, savoring the senses, deepening with  Momma Earth, enjoying intimate connections with others, etc
    • Honoring our unique path.  Being with each of our developmental stages (infancy, childhood, adolescence, etc).  Tuning-into each stage of our soul journey, shifting agreements and healing disturbances, completing anything undone - so we can build on a strong foundation in the evolution of our consciousness. 
    • Utilizing our body energies for healing, creativity, self-care, delight…

    • Owning and becoming more comfortable in and with our body - as ourselves, with others and in the world.  Tuning into to the systems of our body (skin, muscle, bone, digestion, etc), and our bodies as a whole - to clear, cleanse, embrace and enliven our body… 
    • Choosing our female body and experience, cleansing, loving and reformatting to our unique expression of gender and sexual expression.
    • Saying hello to our patterns & habits - within ourselves and in our relationships, work and play - how we avoid and how we engage LIFE; love ourselves in what is, and If and When we choose, invite shift.

    Including things like:
    • retreats to learn, play and integrate new ways of being.
    • opportunities to savor and learn-from various body-work and movement practices.
    • learning and experiencing with experts from several somatic-focused fields

    • OPTIONAL: additional daily and weekly connection, sharing and healing structures - you can weave into and out-of, as this serves your process and your schedule.

    I am inviting a healing circle:
    a Conscious Embodiment Intensive,
    a 6 month adventure - maybe more, if we choose...

    I believe we will create the opportunity for 3 retreats and gather two Monday evenings per month.
    Not every week, so easier to fit in busy schedules; as well as integrate healing and transformation more comfortably.

    in Life!
     -wendy

    ***

    About the focus of this Adventure.
    2 things I would like you to know:

    This is a very different focus than anything you have taken with me before, just FYI.

    1)
    Usually I am consciously standing for a shift in our IDENTITY
    to move off from:
    - our past/future,
    - others/our own stories,
    - the expereince/expectations of our body/world
    - etc

    TO - I AM SPIRIT!
    ... so who am I BEing and who do I Choose to BE?

    In this Circle of Learning, Healing, Playing and Support
    I am consciously standing in a more Balanced place:

    I AM SOUL
    - I am Spirit playing in Body!
    - I am holding Heaven and Earth - and Dancing in the interface, with Community of all my Relations.
    - I AM a voice in the spiritual chorus in this physical world

    ... so, given I am Soul, what am I DOing and what do I choose to DO?
    - of course, still from the Inside, Out.
    - but importantly, how am I Manifesting in and through the Body and the World?
    - not just energetically/spiritually - but In This World.

    therefore:

    2)
    The main through-line for the 6 months will be:
    An Embodiment Project
    Saying hello to:
    • Something I want to DO in the World, that I haven't done.
    • Something I really Want to be doing, that I'm not DOing.
    in the process:
    • Saying goodbye to the body, mind, spiritual things that have been in the way of the things I want to Do.
    • Saying hello the the body, mind, spiritual things that I need to BE and DO, so I can Have - Body and Soul - this new Thing.
    • BEing and DOing what it takes to DO this NEW Amazing thing, by the end of the Program.

    .
    This Embodiment Project will provide focus for each of us, in this 6 month Circle, and help us to build the Intention and physical and spiritual muscle it takes to DO what you want to DO in this World.

    Please be dreaming and writing on what you want to Create in the World through this circle - it can be anything that is into the world
    - anything that can be measured, anything 'flies can see'
    - not just a change in BEing, a change in DOing.

    This game has already shifted my life and who I am being, as I have been finding what I want to actively shift. I look forward to this process with y'all!!

    Love YOUR Body!


    ReNew You! with a daylong retreat:
    Love YOUR Body: Meditation and Movement


    No experience necessary
    (although, you must have a body and bring it with you ; )

    Get ready for a fun, challenging and healing day of Meditation and Movement to support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness, and a more loving relationship with your body.

    This day will be half meditation and body-spirit communication, while comfortably sitting in chairs,
    AND half comfortable, accessible movement & body-loving practices.

    You will also receive a private 15 minute healing, if you choose.  We will enjoy regular breaks to relax and integrate your expereinces.

    Please bring a journal, wear comfortable clothing, and bring a pot-luck contribution for shared snacks and meal.


    About Love YOUR Body! Meditation

    This is a very playful, inner-active Meditation practice - you won't be bored!

    Many discomforts and crossed wires in our lives come from a dysfunctional relationship with our own bodies.

    You can find balance in your relationship between yourself, as a spirit, and your body.

    Learn new ways of relating to and loving yourself which encourage and support a cooperative, nurturing relationship with your body.

    As you practice this way of being, over time, you can be amazed at the delightful experiences in your own skin, the changes in your physical body, and the eventual transformation of your life.

    The benefits of this meditation include:
    • Learning energy techniques for being more present in your body
    • Deepening your spirit / body relationship
    • Releasing energy which may be affecting your wellness on all levels
    • Bringing more of your spiritual awareness and knowledge into your body.

    Handout from: Dare to BE LOVE Series: Love the Earth: Practice Partnering with Momma Nature


    Practice Partnering with Momma Earth
    being PRESENT in our body & with the planet...
    Investing in Our Relationship with Momma Earth

    (Some of this is easier in summer – but when its cold, we could stand and touch a tree that calls to you, bundle-up on a rock, walk while communing, etc ; )

    Some Examples of Earth Relationship practice:

    • Commune with the earth lay on/with/in the Earth

    • Yield to momma earth and let her love and care for you, like you love and care for your intimates:
    • like a cat/lap dog,
    • like a long lover,
    • like a child lays on your body...

    • The Earth can love & heal your body - get in it, with it, on it - consciously yielding and present, and allowing conscious connection!  

    • Let Momma Earth communicate with you, back and forth - Attention to self/earth relationship. Try some of the exercises I suggested for body relationship, with focus on earth relationship, for example:

    • What happens when you consciously interface with, match the energy of earth, water, wind, fire...

    • You can try journalling written communication back and forth…
    • earth to spirit
    • spirit to earth
    • earth to body
    • body to earth
