Hey, Amy here.
I had the most amazing experience at my retreat over the weekend. I'm still processing everything and integrating and catching up on sleep...
But it was magical and beautiful. One of the best weekends of my life.
There were 25 women each night, so I met
a lot of great women who are also all on a deep healing journey, so that part was amazing too.
The whole experience was unreal. Just so beautiful.
I'm still processing as I said, but one of the big takeaways for me was learning, on a deeper level than I've ever experienced, that I am not alone. That none of us are experiencing our sadness or our grief or our
suffering alone.
When we were setting up our beds on the first night, I was talking to the woman next to me on my right and she was telling me her story, and her sadness, and the things that have happened in her family.
Then I was talking to the woman who was setting up her bed on the left of me, and she was telling me about some of the hard things she's
dealing with in her life and her family.
And I continued to have conversations like those as I got to know some of the other women.
And then what came through in the second night was that we are all literally telling each other's story. Our stories are all basically a slightly different version of the same story.
And as I listened to each woman I
said to myself,
"Me too."
And it helped me to know in a deeper way than I have ever known, that I am not alone.
None of us are alone. We are all in this together.
We all have a different version of the same story, and there's so much comfort in knowing that. And there's so much comfort in knowing that this is what life is.
None of us are alone, and we really are all just
walking each other home, as Ram Dass says.
