When you’re surrounded by people who are vulnerable, you aren’t afraid to be yourself. 

I felt a nudge when I was in Mexico telling me to fly home earlier and to go to this retreat that my lovely friend Abbi was hosting. 

I honestly don’t know shit about chakras and it was a weekend all about the root chakra. I didn’t initially resonate with the topic of the retreat or really fully understand anything that was going to happen, but I went with my intuition and signed up to go anyways.

I truly trust my inner voice/gut when it tells me to do something because I know that the there’s a reason that the Universe put it there. This allows me to go in with an open mind eager to discover the reason.

And that reason was the people. I have never been surrounded by SO MANY open, vulnerable, supportive, welcoming and non judgmental women in my life. This truly allowed me to fully be myself throughout the weekend and put down my walls and be completely and utterly myself. 

I intentionally turned off my phone the whole 4 days which stirred up some anxiety within me but it was also so freeing. I captured a few photos with a digital camera and the rest are from other peoples phones and cameras. 

I know this weekend planted such an important seed in me to continue to be fully myself outside of spaces like this. It allows me to be free to dance, to laugh, to sing, to drum off tempo, to be vulnerable, to listen, to be gushy, to love, to run, to cry, to jump in a freezing creek naked, to play, and to just be me.

Thank you to those who made the Rooted and Radiant Retreat what it was, you don’t know the impact you all had on me ❤️

Sometimes you force yourself to find the beauty in life and other times it’s right in front of you shining brighter than ever. 

In the moment and again looking back now, the Rooted and Radiant Retreat was the most beautiful experience I have been a part of. 

Thank you to all the beautiful women I had the pleasure of cooking for on this retreat, and most importantly Abbi for trusting me to nourish these wonderful souls! 🫶🏼👩‍🍳
