Sleeping in Sedona
This bed is HUGE. Seriously. SO much room for solo activities! 😈
Speeeeeaking of which, (Takes a deep breath and long pause.)
I’m going to HAVE to acknowledge that yesterday after our hike, I came in to find housekeeping had been by and left yet another amazing box of chocolates by my bed.
You know what else they left?
My, lost in the sheets, vibrator now placed perfectly on my side table next to all my new crystals. 🫢 I’m DEAD ass serious. ☠️
Now that I’m over the post-horror embarrassment, I can confidently (and sarcastically) say, that’s a LOT of powerful energy right there. 😈
But, back to sleeping in Sedona…
It’s the end of our retreat and I’ll boldly say that this week has changed me. Even the idea of summing it up in one newsletter torments me.
Enter Kelly Ballard. Medium, Intuitive, Reiki Master, manifesting genius, cat lover, life changer, and my spiritual road warrior and Sedona travel bud!
I was contracted by Kelly through Wandering Roots to document her and her guests on retreat in beautiful Sedona. A 3 night, 4 day retreat packed with meditation, workshopping, sound bowls, painting, solo reflection, star gazing, flying dresses, cacao ceremony, a vortex hike, and lots of conversation and connection over incredible food.
The gratitude I have for the opportunity to be in her energy in such a beautiful, intimate way the last week is just washing over me. Her workshops were truly the magic of the experience, both revealing and healing. Holding space while guests dove headfirst into the deep end of vulnerability was nothing short of inspiring.
It's moments like these that remind me why I'm in the game. Connecting with new faces, swapping stories, and getting to the heart of what makes us all tick—it's what I live for.🙏🏼
As I take a breather, (in this GINORMOUS bed) and let it sink in, I'm realizing that this retreat wasn't just a job—it was a goddamn journey. And trust me, it's going to take more than a few days of reflection to wrap my head around it’s impact on me personally.
So while I’m over here researching my Channeled Archangel and integrating back home with my Spirit Guide, here are a few other things I’ve learned only 21 days into 2024:
- That no one really knows what a sabbatical is (I googled it too, no judgement)
- A whole fucking lot about health insurance 👎🏻
- And that some sort of black magic causes grey sweatpants to make the D look DD
(I know, I’m embarrassed for me too).
Here’s to new experiences and healing in 2024. Thank you universe. ✨ Thank you Kelly. ✨ Thank you to the wonderful women I shared space with this week. ✨
Thank you for the comfort in knowing, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be
right now.
XoXo,
E
