Hit the Heat: Obstacle Alert
On our heroine’s journey of growth and learning we are confronted with challenges that can test our character in a variety of ways. Obstacles are thrown across your path; whether they be physical hurdles, people who test our progress, or an aspect of our personality that does not want us to move forward. Our skills and powers will be tested to the maximum, and we might feel like giving up. Yet every obstacle that we face helps us gain a deeper insight into the strength of our character.
In this day retreat we will reflect on the obstacles that often keep us at battle with ourselves as well as the treasures to be found that help us find wholeness. We will explore our shadow, journal and discuss, walk the labyrinth and use our creative imagination to explore our obstacles with compassion. We strive to offer a safe space for those who wish to participate in discussion; however, sharing is optional, and you are always free to decide what is comfortable for you.
