Ten retreats in.
And I’ll be honest, this one was hard to fill. There were moments I questioned whether to cancel. Whether to step back. Whether this was still the right thing to do.
And then, slowly, the group came together. And from the very first day I knew: these women were exactly who were meant to be here.
What happened this week is difficult to put into words. Eight mothers, different lives, different stories, and yet so much in common. They shared, they laughed, they cried. They sat in circle together. And something very old and very human happened in that space.
I think the word community has lost a lot of its meaning. We use it to describe follower counts and group chats. But what I witnessed this week, the empathy, the stories exchanged, the moments of genuine recognition between strangers who became something closer, that is something else entirely.
Every time I face the challenges of filling these retreats, every time I doubt myself, the moment I step into the space with the mothers, I remember why I created this five years ago. Because it is the experience I wish I had had. And every group teaches me something new.
I am going home with my heart full. Grateful for each mother who trusted me and my team with her week. Grateful for my team, who made it all possible. Grateful that I didn’t give up.
Retreat ten. And it could not have been more beautiful. 🤍
Thank you .alma
