Thoughts
for a New Year
These ideas came
from a variety of sources on Christiane Northrup's CD The
Power of Joy.
" We are who
our Higher Self wanted to experience."
" In the Kabala,
'certainty' is a word for God. When you do
something with certainty, you bring the energy of God into
it."
" O God, Help
me to believe the truth about myself, no matter how
beautiful it is." (Macrina Wiederkehr)

WOMEN'S
WELLNESS GETAWAYS
|
|
Held
at Thirteen Moons Women's Culinary Retreat Centre,
Kawartha's, Ontario, created specially for women who:
~dream
of a relaxing respite from family/work obligations
~need time to reflect and find clarity
~long to be nurtured and restore their depleted spirit
~seek the camaraderie of kindred souls
"
I will leave the retreat knowing that many avenues are open
to me to be the best personal I can be."
"The creative
exercises were very surprising. I have not explored the artistic
side of myself to any depth and was utterly amazed at the
depth revealed in my limited work."
