EGYPT - NOVEMBER 2024
As you know, this trip arrived at a pivotal moment in my life. My husband had passed away just six months earlier, and I had closed my practice and business. I was lost, uncertain of who I was or what I truly wanted from life. When I received the invitation to join the retreat, I instinctively knew it would offer the healing I desperately needed—and perhaps, even some clarity.
During the trip, I sensed that something profound was unfolding within me, though I couldn’t quite grasp it at the time. It wasn’t until I started reflecting on my journey once I was home that everything began to fall into place. The joy and fun I experienced in Egypt seemed to mask the deeper inner work I was unknowingly doing.
I can’t help but feel it was no coincidence that everyone on the trip fell ill, and I happened to have packed the right remedies, allowing me to help those who needed it. That experience reminded me of the gifts my soul came here to share. It gave me renewed confidence in my knowledge and abilities, while also reaffirming how much joy I find in helping others. Furthermore, I experienced an activation of my distant healing abilities, as well as the ability to channel healing energy through my eyes and hands.
Before the retreat, I was convinced I would spend the rest of my life alone. I wasn’t open to the idea of finding a new companion. But after this journey, I can honestly say I am ready to love and be loved again!
There’s still one more challenge to overcome, as you know. The fact that I didn’t want to come home showed me that my current 3D space no longer serves me. It’s time for the long-awaited change I’ve been yearning for. As I explained to a friend yesterday: For years, I’ve felt like a bird in a golden cage. Just because the cage is made of gold doesn’t make it any less a cage. My soul longs for the countryside. For the last four years, I’ve dreamed of a small piece of land, with a little stone house surrounded by nature, where I can grow healing foods. My husband would never have agreed to that kind of life. But now, due to his passing, the cage door is wide open. The life I’ve always wanted is now within my reach. It’s time to trust my wings and my ability to fly. I’m not saying I’m happy about my husband’s passing, but the Universe works in mysterious ways, and sometimes life pulls back hard to propel you exactly where you need to be.
Michelle, how do I even begin to thank you for this extraordinary opportunity you created for me? I know that organizing a retreat like this is no small task and carries risks for you as the organizer. Yet, you answered the call and made it your purpose to create these beautiful experiences to help other women heal. You are an amazing facilitator with so much wisdom and knowledge to share. May you be abundantly blessed for the incredible work you do.
With deep gratitude and love,
