An Elemental French Retreat

It’s always a chance, when going on retreat, whether the group will bond or won’t they?

Always a risk.!

The most beautiful retreat in the world can’t make that happen.

That comes from intention and heart.

Are we able to leave behind our stresses and concerns, and can we practise acceptance of where we are now.?

Do we appreciate how much the others that are there, need it as badly as we do.?

And can we allow ourselves to practise the kindness that is natural in us, or are our knocks and jagged edges going to make it too hard?

It’s a long journey to where we are going, it’s been a long journey to where we are now.

But the yoga practise should help us with tolerance and understanding and the environment allows us the space for it to work in and helps us to connect with our inner selves

When all that comes together we get joy.

And that is what happened for us.

I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells, 

I honour the place in you which is of love, light and of truth.

When you are in that place in you,

And I am in that place in me,

We are one.
