Breathing Patterns Invitation

The point of spending time in solitude
is stripping ones’ self bare to discover
what is at ones’ essence. - Dawna Markova

Is it time for you to enhance your WOMAN DREAMS?
Do you know you are a PRECIOUS COMMODITY?

Why not step out of your everyday rituals and take a chance on nurturing your dreams and goals, personal or professional, in a setting that is

Fun, easy, and value enhanced Gives you a chance to practice “balancing” techniques Doesn’t leave you feeling guilty for being successful and busy

Have you thought about what could be possible in your life if you stepped away from the incessant noise for even a short while? Would a half or full day, or weekend away help move you toward those dreams and goals? What if you made YOU the priority? How could you benefit from this sacred process?

At Breathing Patterns Retreats, I create the space and set in motion your energy and direction. Retreats are my way of offering you a place to become open to the possibilities and gifts around you, a breathing space away from your normal schedule. Retreats are a beautiful and nurturing experience that will re-fill your body-mind-spirit with your own natural energy, creativity and passion.   Ask your self how investing in your “central being” could make a difference in the lives of those you love and lead?

When you say yes to the gift of a retreat, don’t forget to bring your sense of fun and humor, an open mind, and a readiness to expand your body-mind-spirit muscle. The process of stepping away from one's busy life in a spirit of focus on you, rest and renewal will assist you in moving toward both your professional and personal dreams and goals.

I am becoming the woman I've wanted,
grey at the temples,
soft body, delighted,
cracked up by life
with a laugh that's known bitter
but, past it, got better,
knows she's a survivor -
that whatever comes,
she can outlast it.
I am becoming a deep weathered basket.

I am becoming the woman I've longed for,
the motherly lover
with arms strong and tender,
the growing up daughter
who blushes surprises.
I am becoming full moons and sunrises.

I find her becoming
this woman I've wanted,
who knows she'll encompass,
who knows she's sufficient,
knows where she is going
and travels with passion.
Who remembers she's precious,
but knows she's now scarce -
who knows she is plenty.
