FLOW


Mara dropping in...

I was out in the water this week and was reminded again of why I love spending time in the ocean. As I sat on my board scanning the horizon, gracefully rising and falling with each incoming wave, a quiet calm infused every cell in my body.  I hit that SWEET-SPOT of ease where I was no longer resisting my experience but instead completely submersed in the flow and it felt like such a gift.  Recently I’ve been feeling swept away by the busy pull of commitments and sudden influx of summer visitors and weekend-warrior excursions. Lots of fun of course, but in all the excitement I’ve hardly made time to REFUEL AND CONNECT with my own inner guide, and it was really starting to take it’s toll. Can you relate?

It’s a common predicament that I hear from a lot of people these days and one of the best sources of inspiration for our FLOW retreat in Costa Rica this winter.  As Bertha Calloway once said, “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails.”  Life is dynamic; a wild, pulsing adventure unfolding before us whether we’re ready for it or not.  The more we hone our ability to adjust our sails, and FLOW with this constantly shifting tide, the more joyful and purpose-filled our journey will be. 

True North Adventures is partnering up with our friends at Bodhi Surf to create a magical women’s retreat in Bahia Ballena, Costa Rica this February. This week of surfing, yoga and heart-centered workshops is intentionally designed to offer participants a unique and powerful opportunity to reconnect with their own natural flow and creatively integrate this into their day-to-day adventures back home.  Ruthi Solari, an outdoor enthusiast and mind-body specialist from San Diego, is working collaboratively with Travis, Pilar and the La Cusinga staff to create an unforgettable week with just the right balance of PHYSICAL CHALLENGE, INSPIRATION AND PLAY.  This experience is not just a vacation to get away from it all. It is an opportunity to be inspired, refreshed and reconnected with effective tools that will assist you in more easily residing in that sweet-spot I mentioned earlier.  The place from which creativity, authenticity and inspiration naturally flow and support us in coming into greater alignment with whatever is unfolding in our lives.
