We had two Tribe Retreat Days in November, in one of our regular spots on Dartmoor at High Heathercombe.
Please enjoy these lovely reflections on the weekend.
Heathercombe on the Moor, by Jo Walker
Oh how awesome Heathercombe on the Moor, it’s been 2yrs since I’ve been here before
Finally we can meet face to face and soon be able to embrace
Cool we’re all at 36.8! after the laugh we open the gate
Hugs and smiles you can feel the connection
The land the love and anticipation
We ground facing North South East and West allowing the day to manifest
Ah the Forrest Room where I was told my Gold! We chill on the floor waiting for the day to unfold
Time for check in my heart starts to race surprisingly I’m open I find, that’s cos everyone’s so kind
So much power in sharing how I feel won’t be long before a delicious meal
So much compassion in the room my confidence begins to Zoom, never have I felt so at ease with a group and wow what amazing soup
With connection and reflection I picked up some nuggets to take away, oh what an amazing day
I can’t thank Write to Freedom enough for sharing all this amazing stuff
I look forward to we meet again, the love the laughter and feelin Zen.
Reflections from Naomi
“The experience was cathartic, allowing me to communicate, resonate and lean into my recovery at a whole new level. It felt deeply held and honoured as the facilitators and participants allowed me to gather and tend the lost, exhausted and un-welcomed parts of myself. Sidestepping the claustrophobic repetition of ‘here and now’. Time became fluid, expressive, the moors enveloping us in mizzle and hush.
I left with alchemic cracks in my defences, unbroken, grateful for my past and path.”
