LOVE all of this. Buckeye looks incredible. I had one of the most formative experiences in the backcountry of Sequoia and so appreciated being brought back there with your crew, dearest J. Thank you.

It was a cozy spot perfect for connection in and with nature. I feel the trees always teach you something, every single time. And for me, it has been so different every time. I will return again soon because I am here for more awe. Meet you there, a dream!

Yay! You! It was Big Magic and difficult to capture in words, but you managed to do it. I’ve been on many a retreat and NEVER have I experienced what this was. It was a gift l am still receiving from. The ripple effect from this experience with these women has moved me in ways I’ll never be the same. Thank you for creating this experience. Thank you women of the TREES and RIVER. You could write a whole post just about the river and the rocks!! Still can’t get over the boulders. The food. Yum...exquisite! Love all my California Sisters!!!!

It's such a gift to witness your experience like this. Thank you, thank you.

I would venture there is one other piece of magic; (which may be the hardest for you to claim), the magnetic attraction of your YOU-ness-- in a bikini and a beanie living the work a la Rilke, your vulnerability that softens and opens people up on arrival.
