Just wanted to say hi! This retreat sounds amazing. And I live in New Mexico, north of Santa Fe, so I can attest to the power of the land here. Also I happen to be a graduate of California Institute of Integral Studies, like you! I hold an MA in cultural anthropology. It's a small world!
I long to share this experience with fellow travelers. This spring May be tricky but I’m planting a seed, and if not this time, the next.
(And I had to chuckle, I literally just started a new essay this week, In Defense of Longing, and then here you are, encompassing everything I feel in one perfect sentence!)
“After nine months, bumbling toward what, at the time, I could not say, I lept out of the Arctic Ocean breathless with the revelation that longing has no end. It comes to meet you in all that is, an originary Presence closer to you than you are to yourself.”
Having been a part of Renee’s retreat this past December, I am sad I cannot make this one. Sitting with fellow travelers, making deep bonds and leaning into Renee’s teachings and fellow travelers reflections had me leaving the retreat with a renewed depth and interest in my journey along the path less path. Blessings to all who chose to attend.
Erma, thank you, dear Friend, for sharing your experience of our time together in December as fellow travelers. I'm saddened to not be with you in May, and understand, of course (!), all the same. With love to you, Renée 🙏❤️
Mmmmm, what a beautiful gathering this will be. ♥️♥️
Thank you, Holly. ❤️

Kimberly, there's something about the wavelength(s) where waving on. . . .
And what a blessing your depth of presence will be to this or another pilgrimage, Kimberly. 🙏
