Walking With Nature Retreat

• Date Fri, 07 May 2021  - Sun, 09 May 2021

• Organiser Central Coast Women's Hiking Circle

Are you ready to re-enter the wild? This is an invitation to immerse yourself into nature. Wander with new eyes and immerse yourself in the wildness. This is an opportunity to allow the tendrils of wildness to re-enter you after our period of confinement in isolation. Allow yourself permission to be filled with awe again.
Our intention for all who participate is to walk through a process of shedding and remembering.
To shed the stuff that builds up in the monotony of our daily lives. The stuff in the form of energy - from actions, thoughts and within our awareness.
As we move from this clearing we will be questing to remember the pure awareness of our nature, while being held and surrounded by nature herself.
