On so many levels, I got a lot out of the weekend.  It was great. I have changed my meditation practice…to a daily ritual…feeling happier and more centered.

Thanks for all the coordination and for making this type of retreat possible!  I was honored to be a part of it!

The best part of the session was: Patt.  The exposure to a new way to meditate, and the connection of meditation to healing and rewiring. The chance to practice frequently during the session. And the suggestions of things to practice after the session.  There is a lot of content here in Pat’s model/approach, but it was amazingly well-packaged into quite a coherent, well-sequenced and well-paced “course”.  Doing the pre-read was an important prior step to not feeling overwhelmed.
Having some important realizations about myself and connecting with a new friend.

At the meditation retreat in May at the Wakefield Inn, Coraa let everyone know she was going on a 2-month trip to Australia and Thailand this summer. She knew the trip would be a challenge. She likes certainty and knew this kind of travel would not be full of certainty.  She took off on June 24!

Her first week was a scary/anxious one for her. The person she planned to travel with arrived 2 days late, it was colder than she expected and she was new at the hostel scene. So what did she do? She started to meditate! And...it worked to calm and center her each day. As she wrote to me, "I'm doing well - I'm not upset or anxious at all. Mediation is really helping I do it every morning when I wake up even if I don't want to."

This e-mail is to thank each of you for your part in the Meditation Retreat, from set up and delivery to participation. You have supported Coraa in altering the experience of her travels. Not to mention, I can breath now that she is doing well!  With all my heart, thank you!

Enjoy your summer,

Terry
