I have experienced true sisterhood this week. I have a tendency to believe I don’t “fit it,” I’m being judged, I’ve said the wrong thing. This experience has helped me see my inner critic, face its wrath, and let the judgment melt away. I feel fully embraced – all of me truly is welcome, loved, and honored. My heavy heart was softened and held. As the week and the experience deepened, I saw what was underneath. I feel a deep sense of surrender. I feel at peace. I recognize joy within me and much welcomed clarity. I have received AH Practice in a private session with Lalena Rose which was powerful, transformational, and healing. However, joining a group retreat to explore AH, becoming a member of a women’s temple, brought sacred sexual healing to another level. I feel empowered, I see my inner priestess, I am so grateful. I can trust in myself, celebrate my “empty chalice” presence, welcome in my guides, and radiate with a new vibration. I feel such joy. To experience ALL of this in the magical isles of Avalon is a dream – I can hardly describe it. This land, our guides, the sacred spaces, elements and energies – they are now woven into me. This initiation is so welcomed. Thank you.

The depth of safeness, of feeling safe and of being seen and held in heart-centered Love, allowed me to heal and integrate my lifelong sense of feeling different, of feeling like an outsider.  In this safe space, I was about to shift my perception and finally see how it had served me well and how it now very much does not serve me, that I no longer need to dance / act out this pattern. The freedom I felt (and still feel almost a month later) has allowed me to release it. And if and when it does re-surface, I know the route to regain my new pathway, my new perception so the old perception will no longer be “running the show.” The other significant shift for me is being able to set boundaries with people without feeling anger towards others or myself. For these 2 massive shifts for me, I am eternally grateful to Amrita and Martine and our entire sisterhood/circle of women. 

It’s not a matter of words. It’s about feelings. If something is calling you to do this, I highly recommend you honor yourself by choosing to follow that feeling.

I signed up for the retreat with Amrita and Martine because I heard a resounding “Yes” inside when I considered it. Now I know the “why” behind the yes. Amrita and Martine created a sacred and safe container for me to do deep and powerful work that touched parts of me that were previously unknown. I found more space in my body for presence and love and creativity. I have a new roadmap for what is possible for me. I write this with such deep gratitude.

I feel privileged and honored to have gone on such a special journey with you as my teachers, friends, soul sisters, and fellow healers. The work was delicate, beautiful, and sacred. It was some of the deepest healing work I have done in 16 years of training and working as a healer. It opened my eyes to a deeper dimension of healing. I am deeply appreciative and grateful for all you have taught me and shared and I look forward to walking by your side into the well of deep mystery, healing, and love.

This retreat has other-dimensional healing properties, including the foundational womb healing element, when taken as a whole. The values I have received are reconnection to sisterhood, knowing my body, awareness of the Goddess and priestess world, and reconnection to my physical and spiritual self. The changes, which are positive, happened throughout the retreat and there is a good feeling they will continue. Actual physical shifts happened to the right side of my face and a lighter and expanded feeling on the front and back of my chest. On a mental level, more flow and the essential part of being in presence. I believe presence is fundamental for highly-sensitive empaths, like myself, seeing an easier way of being in this world.

This retreat was like nothing I had experienced before and surpassed all my expectations. I must say I was quite unsettled for perhaps three weeks afterwards and it is only last week and this week that I am finding my equilibrium return but with it I am returning to a New Regina. I am feeling ready to let go of the past, to embrace forgiveness, to embrace my power, and most importantly my understanding and absolute commitment to NOT being a victim. I have intellectually understood this in the past but this time I feel it raising up in my body…it’s not a mind decision but an experience in my body. I am in no doubt that the initiations during the retreat facilitated this. I feel that this is just the beginning of the change and that there is more to come over the coming months. I feel this is a work of Art or a precious Sculpture that will be fashioned and revealed over time and not a quick sketch but all the better and more powerful for that. I urge anyone that has the opportunity to avail of this experience to grasp it with both hands. You will be rewarded.
