Can You See In The Dark?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As most of you know, I, along with my two phenomenal colleagues, facilitated a women’s retreat over the Columbus Day weekend. One of the many activities we enjoyed was gathering around a campfire and sharing the story of what brought each of us to the retreat.

When we left the campfire, we walked back to our rooms in the dark. No lights shone the way, and the cloudy sky did not shed any starlight to help us home. It was dark. But, only moments later, we were walking with ease on the wooded path. I remarked at how well our eyes had adjusted to the dark. After another moment of contemplating the phenomenon, I corrected myself, saying, "actually, I guess our eyes adjusted to the light, not the dark" to which another summed it up with "Yeah, we can't see dark."

We can't see dark. Our eyes adjust to the light. Hmmm...

What if our attitude on life did this????

The Women’s Discovery Weekend was a full-fledged success! The goal of helping women discover what is next in their lives and providing the tools to meet and support that challenge was achieved. Everyone, including the facilitators, walked away with a greater sense of self, a lightness in her step, and an empowered vision for the future.
See what our attendees had to say:

"Thanks to this experience, I am ready and equipped to take on the challenges I have set for myself. I have received the support and tools I need to succeed. And I will succeed. Thank you!"

"This was a rewarding, fulfilling and focused retreat run by great facilitators whose skills and areas of expertise compliment each other beautifully. I discovered things about myself that I was not aware of. I am leaving with a "Road Map" of where I want to go with my life and how I am going to get there."

"I have been thoroughly enriched by this experience."

"It was a wonderful sharing experience - touching and exhilarating. I feel calm, restored, and exhilarated at the same time."
