High note ending 2023

This 8 day Xmas retreat has truly exceeded all my expectations. I still found this fascinating as I had always planned to go to New Zealand or Australia this year-end, yet the universe had something else for me.

Each day was filled with challenging yet fulfilling activities, from strenuous climbs to the dreamhill, to invigorating morning yoga sessions and captivating sightseeing in Lovina.

The Christmas cocoa ceremony left a bitter-sour taste in my mouth, while the Leela game tested my patience for 8 long hours.

The chakras cleansing in the sacred waterfall was both exhilarating and cathartic, and the detox spa experience was incredibly rejuvenating.

A much-needed facial and massage helped me unwind, and the Queen's spa made me feel truly pampered.

The aroma psychology session pushed me out of my comfort zone, and the waterfall trekking left me in awe and slightly apprehensive as the water level rose swiftly.

Swimming with dolphins was a remarkable experience, and snorkeling made me realize my need for a life jacket.

Amidst all the activities, I found time for a bit of indulgent shopping and a fascinating session of sound healing, leading to a deep and restful sleep.

The nourishing, non-spicy cuisine and fresh fruit juices kept my energy levels high, and the camaraderie led to both laughter and tears.

Meeting such beautiful souls who supported me through vulnerability, fears, and authentic self-discovery made this retreat an invaluable yearend gift.

I am proud to have embraced the changes and am eager to integrate all the lessons from this experience into 2024, carrying with me a newfound sense of self-awareness and growth.

(I will try my best to sort of the photos =) )
