Reflections from Retreat
2025

In November 2024 over 5 transformative days, I co-facilitated the third Multi Dimensional Healing Retreat with Dr Carol Haddad.
 
From an overflowing heart here are my reflections –
 
How does life get any better than this? ……  

This is the question I sat and reflected with after returning from retreat last month. 

I am blessed to live life through my dharma and guide a transformational quest for others to connect within, experience more than what they have known and transcend self limiting patterns, beliefs and dis-ease.

Carol and I are in awe every time we witness the essence of what arrives on retreat.
Gracefully holding space for everyone, the unravelling begun, igniting the fire to lead with love in all dimensions of their worlds, beneath all the noise and identities. The process unfolds calling everyone home to their heart. It is so humbling, so mesmerising and so omnipotent. It truely is a symphony of LOVE!

Many blessings were experienced, old paradigms were shed, and all the beautiful souls who gathered shifted their worlds, creating new timelines through inquiry, love, deep listening to their wisdom and being given the space to process.

The theme was Leading with LOVE through the element of fire. 

The retreat began for me walking through my own fire. I had to burn off and release any part of me I did not trust fully, and completely let go of control.
Short story – my mum was admitted to hospital the night before we gathered in Mapleton. This was her 2nd admission in two weeks. She had a hernia operation the week before and was discharged. Now for the Virgo in me that loves to plan, I was relieved I could move into the space with the perceived sense of control.
This was all extinguished in those final moments before as I witnessed my dear mum being re-admitted to hospital, lifeless and unresponsive in ICU the morning of retreat.
I had to lean in to trust it was all unfolding divinely, surrender fully and then surrender some more! I knew she was in the best place, and what if the blessings from the retreat space were here in service to mum, myself and all. In every cell of my being I trusted, opening my Multidimensional nature even more, catalysing the same shifts for all who came on retreat.
Remembering we are all connected beyond physical time and space and nothing is seperate. It is beyond me, we are timeless beings, and I am the custodian of the journey HOME to my heart. And when I am home, this creates resonance for others.

Jandamarra always sets the tone of Dadirri – deep listening – and acknowledges the land upon where we meet. He shared that through igniting the seeds of fire in our own being and living in the alignment with the natural lore of life, we experience the seasons of life and hold their indicators in reverence and love. We BE in harmony. As we live in harmony we honour the past custodians of land, their wisdom and welcome in the future 7 generations as we create from this precise moment. It is in our being and emanating this presence of being. In the Indigenous culture, there are no words for please or thank you, you are that. Such a potent reminder. In this moment the entire universe is within and we are the holographic blueprint for existence.

Each morning we rose with gentle compassionate movement, stretching every part of the body through the practice of yoga with the delightful and gracious Erin. She opened our minds creating new pathways of seeing, seeing beyond our physical eyes. We ignited parts of ourselves forgotten or those parts of the body that had become a little stuck or stiff and planted new seeds of creation in flow with the body.
 
Simon, the flavour and nutrition magician curated the most nourishing plant based menu each day. Culminating at least 30 different foods each day to harmonise the gut microbiome and let’s just say the taste sensations were next level! As we were nourished from within, a foundation of flow and harmony through digestion and assimilation, supporting the body to process, release and eliminate internally, designing a symbiotic relationship internally and externally.
 
Through the practices of sound healing, breakthrough breath work, sharing circle, silence, listening, connecting to nature, bathing in healing waters, mantra, massage and vibro sound massage, each Earth Angel that came into the space was there because of the generosity of their hearts, their connection to spirit and the intuitive wisdom they share. This generated the most alchemising space for all to receive.
 

Moment by moment we dissolved paradigms of shame, resistance, self loathing, invisibility, control, disconnection, struggle, loud noise and any identities that were no longer serving.
Allowing each person to be seen vulnerably, without the need to fix or control. We choose to honour all the parts of each other, knowing these are the pieces that shape us.

Been given the space to process is one of the most powerful transformers.

Tears flowed freely, belly laughs rumbled through our whole bodies, peace was experienced in the mind, permission to forgive the past was reconciled, hearts were softly opened and a sisterhood connection was formed and will always be treasured as sacred and special.  

As I sit here in deep deep gratitude of what I witnessed and the potent experiences it will always light the fire in my heart to remind me to lead with love and move from this space.
It really did go beyond, beyond any intention, beyond words and what I have tried to conceptualise and share here, and it goes beyond our physical time together.

This is what is available at all times and possible from this moment – the infinite now – if we give ourselves permission to receive, and then choose to move through the world from this alchemised space!

This is sacred medicine. x

So as Carol and I begin to create the next healing retreat for 2025, and in keeping with the spirit of evolution we are looking to change the retreat location……the Sunshine Coast has been truely amazing, and held us ever so tenderly. It is time for a shift, something new and we are curious to see what unfolds from the new space. More information soon.

🌸With Love in deep deep gratitude from my overflowing heart xx

 

Dr Carol Haddad has been on her own journey of awakening for several years. From her personal experience she has learned that great shifts can occur instantaneously and through the power of being held in unconditional love. Gone are the days of suffering being a requisite for growth. Through being held in unconditional love, Carol has now developed her own way of holding space for truth and awareness to unfold organically and for instantaneous transformation to occur. From a background in conventional medicine and learning the utility of integrative care she now invites those affected by dis-ease to embrace the variety of cosmic intelligence available. Coming into her gifts as a multidimensional Healer, Carol is passionate and inspired to share all that she has learned and to inspire the same evolution in others
