I’m just back from taking an amazing group of women to Mallorca, Spain, on a retreat to design their new dream, and in the process manifested my own “dream experience.”
In deciding to enter unknown territory and create my first international retreat, here’s one of the most important things I learned.
When you do something audacious and stay focused on your heart, it becomes easier, because you attract the best, heart-centered people to join and support you.
This could not have been truer than what unfolded during our “dream retreat” in Mallorca.
When we arrived on this beautiful Mediterranean island the forecast was for five days of rain, including a tropical storm.
Hmm, not the best conditions for a dreamy retreat of outdoor, sun-filled activities and meditations by the pool.
So here’s what I did.
- I decided to stay present, where intuition and connection to higher consciousness work best, and keep my thoughts focused on my intention (a fabulous, transformative retreat).
- I decided to give the power to what my heart wanted, not what my mind feared.
- I decided to let love win…
- And let the pieces and outer events fall where they may.
And what unfolded during the week?
The perfect people and conditions, including sunny breaks in the weather, appeared to support us, as if by magic.
They included:
Angela, the lovely owner of Tramuntana Flow, who opened her heart and entire villa-retreat space to us and gave our group two of the most powerful 90-minute yoga sessions I’ve ever experienced.
Abida, our personal chef, who nourished us with her “5-star” local cuisine decorated with flowers and herbs from her garden. Often singing in the kitchen, she shared her passion for cooking and her passion for life…a shining example of someone living from her heart.
Chand, the incredible Flamenco guitarist who gave us a private concert, and even let one of the retreat participants step into her own dream and perform a few songs with him.
And Sam, the perfect boat captain to show us the best of the northern Mallorca coastline and who said he would try to “create the impossible.” His words not mine! He laughed when I told him I actually wrote a book called “Creating the Impossible,” and the magic just continued from there. We had spectacular day at sea, including a delightful swim in a secluded cove.
I could not have co-created a better “dream team” to support the aptly titled Design Your New Dream retreat, including the heart-centred and powerful women who joined me.
Everything and everyone in the Universe responds to energy.
When you tap into your heart and true power, not what your mind (or ego) thinks is possible… you supercharge your intention and results.
