Action- Decide how you can use this new learning in your classes. Do you want to use it in existing classes to enhance them or do you want to do a retreat morning or day or even weekend? Remember only do what you want.
Bonus- Gift Vouchers
What is lovely is to offer gift vouchers for retreat days as well as all your other services. Retreat days make great packages that you can offer corporates and businesses in your area as a gift for any new mothers or mothers on maternity leave. If you have never tried this angle before, why not give it a go? Otherwise, it’s a lovely gift for a Mummy instead of another bunch of flowers or blanket for baby.
To make great gift vouchers you can use rounded business cards like the ones from MOO. Check them out here.
You can then package them up in gift voucher envelopes which you can buy from a number of stockists. These plain brown ones from Amazon I particularly love. Click here to check them out.
You can also create printed stickers to add to the envelopes from online printing companies such as Vista Print.
Key takeaways
Circles are powerful. Space is healing and empowering. When you recognise the greatness in another woman, you recognise the greatness in yourselves. Connection to ourselves and to others is one of the most powerful energising exercises you can do. If you have never been to a women’s circle, please go. They are the best way to learn about holding and being in space.
Nurture days are about creating beauty and recognising the beauty in ourselves. They are about resetting your energy, getting in alignment with your values, self-reflecting and filling your cup.
Be authentic to yourself. If anything here does not feel good or authentic, do not do it now. Work out why something does not feel authentic and you can either accept this or understand what the trigger is.
We can always learn more. We can always go deeper. Start light and be gentle with yourself as a retreat day leader. The day should feel easy and joyful.
Keep it simple. Less is more. You will be surprised at the magic that happens doing very little. Just sharing in a circle is deeply healing with nothing else. Being seen and heard are two incredibly powerful gifts.
Think about using any kind of gratitude practice to cultivate happiness. It could be any kind of sharing activity around food or for what has been received.
“Gratitude for the gift of life is the primary wellspring of all major religions, the hallmark of the mystic, the source of all true art.
It is a privilege to be alive in this time
when we can choose to take part
in the self healing of our world.”
~ Joanna Macy
