Participant's Watercolor

Here are some comments from a previous retreat participant.

May 3, 2020: Yesterday I spent the majority of the day attending a virtual retreat. We spent the afternoon getting in touch with our creative side and doing a watercolor painting of the heart chakra. The morning session had us go for a walk in nature and journal around several questions on gratitude.

I spent a couple of hours after the retreat reflecting and journaling about the experience. Some of my thoughts/takeaways:

A daily gratitude practice is essential to my well-being. Since January 1st last year I've been writing one thing I am grateful for every morning. The facilitator started her practice writing 10/day. I'm going to increase mine to 5. More gratitude. More love. Less fear.

I enjoy being creative. Watercolors were challenging and my painting is far from a masterpiece, but I lost track of time and focused solely on my work.

Nature is healing. Went to Moraine View for my walk. The woods were beautiful and magical. Peaceful.

I have so much to be grateful for. The journaling questions asked us about people and things that we are grateful for. One question asked us to express gratitude for ourselves...listing out what we appreciate about ourselves (you should give it a try!)

A powerful question...what negative experiences have you had which afterwards you realized helped you grow? I think now is a great time to reflect on that. How are we all growing during this current situation? What are we learning about ourselves, about our priorities, about each other?

I enjoyed the day and look forward to more retreats...both virtual and in-person.
