Santa Fe Writing Retreat Reflection
Santa Fe Writing Retreat , Aug 2023
A reflection on the Writing Retreat in Santa Fe, NM.
Vibrational Alignment. Collective Energy. Journey to Self.
The synergy of seven ladies coming together with little expectation and hardly knowing each other is introduced only by first names.

“Through a collective sacred safe space, an expansive focus on experiential creativity through a journey to self emerged.”

We permit ourselves, our hopes, dreams, and aspirations, to innately know ourselves, to focus our attention on poignant and powerful moments, and to become intimately aware of our own thoughts and words, which hold so much power.
