A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to being part of a weekend retreat, just for women: Talks, workshops, arts, yoga, massages, dance (around the fire, with & without our broomsticks!), veggie food ...and skinny - dipping at the nearby lake was just what I (and the 30+ other goddesses) needed to recharge my body, mind & spirit.
It took place in the beautiful countryside, about 1 1/2 north of Brisbane (next to Australia Zoo!) at the amazing Ewen Maddock Dam.
We stayed in small huts , on bunk beds with vinyl covered matresses surrounded by hungry mosquitoes. I felt like a real Yogi, the ones that meditate on nail beds! So much for my yoga practice...
But the trance like (otherwise called 'tired') state of mind and body made the whole weekend even more of a very spiritual experience. There was a lot love, support, positive energy and laughter going around. The facilitators and organising women (Elders) put a great effort into the smooth running of this short annual festival!
Highly recommended 'all over - Rejuvenation'! And cheaper & more effective than a visit to the Spa, Noosa, or Byron Bay!!!
