When 33 women and one powerful man gather in Zollino from 15 different countries around the world in the land of food, wine, passion, love, expression, to play, move, stretch, inquire, allow, sweat, connect, love, speak the truth, unravel- nothing is left unchanged. Not the land, nor the beings.
This last week has been heart-opening, mind-blowing and soul-settling. I feel overwhelmed with gratitude at the gift that has been every single human being transforming before my eyes. It’s a quality of brightening, like layers of old temporary information fall away with every new day. It’s a whitening of the eyes and an expansiveness through the pupils as the doorways to the majestic soul slide open allowing the greatest beauty, mystery and magic to shine through.
Tears, laughter, silence, listening, sharing, truth, realness, rawness, vulnerability all held within the cocoon of loving acceptance of self and others.
To put the magic into words seems to limit the infinitude that cannot possibly be described.
I have learned so much this week. I have been gifted the blessing of experiencing a space of pure love, unconditional acceptance and transformation. I have seen women come together to hold each other high in the pure space of unconditional allowance of what is. It’s in this space we have the opportunity to heal so deeply, to be as we are without the cloaks of conditioned roles, to see ourselves, each other and live rightly, granting back the true magnitude of what we are.
Thank you SO much to all the women and James- the man. I am humbled, honored, grateful, amazed, changed. You are all so beautiful. Thank you for expanding my heart so big. You have stretched me in new ways.
