The Desire Map Retreat

Last week, four of us took ourselves off to the magnificent Buddhist Retreat Centre in Ixopo for a three day retreat.  Here's what it looked like ... yoga mats, cameras, pillows, books, coloured pens, journals, The Desire Map ...

All packed and ready to go ...

 My beautiful serene room ... ah simplicity!

Magnificent nature all around us ...

Danielle Laporte's "The Desire Map" to guide us on our inward journey and snacks, tea and coffee to keep us going ...

A fire to warm us ...

The Labyrinth and walks to contemplate ...

A sanctuary to hold us ...

Delicious food to nourish and replenish us ...

And the magic unveiled and its charm enfolded us ...

I left feeling enchanted, spacious and nourished.

I left feeling immersed in life and immensely grateful for our bravery, honesty and realness with each other and for the magic of the friendship we have kindled over the past two years.  

I left feeling very blessed.
