Life Magical Mama Style, Retreatin’ Before our Retreat!

As we drive through the rocky landscape on the way back to Phoenix from San Diego, we are reflecting on our experience over the past few days and how it has changed us.  So, here we are, typing away, on the road!

We decided to attend a retreat, ourselves, to get all juiced up before hosting the Magical Mama Retreat THIS Saturday and Sunday! This is because we know that in order to give, we gotta receive.

What exactly did we receive while being away from our families for several days, connecting with other women, and splashing in the ocean? That’s been the topic of road trip discussion, and we’re going to share it with you, dear Mama. It is our hope that we can inspire you to honor your family and everything you pour your big heart into, by taking good care of YOU.

What better place to decide on action steps as we re-enter our daily lives!?

We each chose 2 action steps, and we’re holding each other accountable to do them!

1. We will hire support:

Blue is going to hire a cleaning service. Although she is capable of cleaning, she realized that her experience of life (and the energy she brings to her business) will improve when she is freed up from having to do it all herself.

Jennifer, who is a hypnotherapist, and regularly receives hypnotherapy for free, (from colleagues or in trade) has decided to seek out the hypnotherapist of her dreams and start paying for monthly sessions. She realized that the money she trades for hypnotherapy is actually a direct investment in herself. And, for some reason, that just feels more powerful.

Colleen, who is a health coach, is going to hire a coach. She recognized a feeling of stagnation in her life and is feeling ready for the next step. She is tired of self-limitations and patterns and needs outside perspective to break free.

2. We will honor our desires:

Jennifer is going to buy jewelry for herself for the first time, and revel in the fun of choosing the perfect gem stones for their energetic properties.

Colleen is going to express her desires and be open to receiving. She will free her throat chakra and give her full self to the world. She will accept outside perspectives as guiding experiences, while valuing uniqueness. This will open her ability to recognize gifts in the world.

Blue can’t wait to get home to connect with her family. Because her cup feels full, she is ready to pour love on her husband and children. Being apart from her husband, and soaking up a bunch of powerful feminine energy is a great recipe to spark up the intimacy in her 15-year-long relationship.

What are YOUR action steps for stepping into the best version of you?  How will you get a full cup, so you can give with ease, fun, and patience, instead of with guilt, sacrifice, and strife?

Come join us for a magical experience of rejuvenation, relaxation, personal growth, sisterhood, great food, and love, oh big, big love!  Sign up today!  There are still a few spots left!

With All Our Love and Devotion,

The Magical Mama Trio

• Tips for bringing nature into your daily life.
• The science of how sisterhood truly is essential!

Getting All Efficient With Your Self-Care

Holy shimolie, y’all! The retreat is less than two weeks away!

What’s so amazing about this get-away is that it’s an opportunity to get in some stellar self-care all in one spot, and all in one weekend. Though we KNOW filling our cup is important, most of us do not drive and get babysitting to do proper self care 10 times a month, or even 10 times a year. This is an opportunity to attend 6 powerful, transformative workshops, and 4 beautifully, exquisitely rejuvenating healing sessions, all at one gorgeous location with other like-minded, inspirational women.

Get Ready to Play with Clay!

Earlier this week I purchased the clay we’ll use to create ceramic pendants during our retreat!  It’s a beautiful and smooth white clay…perfect for shaping, impressing, and carving.

Just imagine:

We’ll be sitting on the edge of a quiet mesa, where we spent the previous evening in celebration and joy, and we’re enjoying the spectacular view and sisterhood.

I have slabs of clay prepared and laid out on the table along with a few simple tools.  Each magical mama will be invited to cut out a shape from the clay.  We’ll practice design techniques together and gather ideas for a final creation.

Then, I’ll lead a meditation based on self-compassion.  It may inspire some release to fuel your design!  There will be plenty of time and space for silent reflection in the process and we’ll also be sure to create opportunity for lighthearted collaboration, as desired.

In each pendant, we’ll engrave our initials or a chosen symbol and take some photos.  Then we’ll choose a compelling glaze.  Later on, I’ll fire and glaze each pendant for participants.  The finished work will either be hand-delivered or mailed to participants before the holidays.  Each participant may create up to four final pendants.

Why pendants??

At the retreat, we’ll do a lot of clearing and healing work.  It’s a chance to release, receive, and rediscover. Artistic expression is just one facet to our integrated approach to healing.  Take a look at our schedule to see the additional offerings you’ll experience.

Art is so very individual.  I believe it reflects our energy and thoughts in the moment.  We are often able to visually express latent ideas that are difficult to discuss, which is how artistic expression heals.

To me, a pendant serves as a noticeable reminder.  It can even symbolize a thought or event.  Perhaps it honors a process. Nonetheless, it is not a light necklace that no one notices.  A pendant is felt by the wearer: it swings when you lean and bounces against your body.  With each movement, you’ll remember the person who gave it to you or you’ll remember an experience.

A pendant may help you share your story with others, because people will notice it and start a conversation.

We are creating ceramic pendants together because Blue, Jennifer, and I want this experience to stick with you.  The retreat will shift your perspective.  There will be breakthroughs!  A physical reminder of those breakthroughs will help them stick.

So often, our perspective slides back into old habits after a shift, but repetition and reminders help create evolution.

The magic we experience together in just a few weeks won’t fade away – it’s building.

Now is the time for women to come together in compassion and beauty.

See you there.  Only 14 spots left.

Reserve your spot.

And join us for a free call to learn self-care techniques you can do now and to ask questions about our upcoming retreat.  This happens on Monday at 2pm.
