What I have come to see through my spiritual retreats and mentoring is that something starts to shift in women around 40 years old. They start feeling unsettled with the way their life is and feel a deep need to explore themselves in a more authentic way. They feel stuck and realize that their life doesn’t seem to be working for them living the same way they have been.
Women want deeper meaning and purpose. They are no longer okay with the current job they have, maybe the relationship they are in feels disconnected, and their life in general feels lifeless.
Through my spiritual retreats, women find their way back to themselves and find the spiritual renewal they were looking for. When you get to know yourself in a deeper more authentic way, it always leads you back to yourself. When you are close to yourself you can find the purpose in your life that gives you the passion.
Are you just going through your daily life, existing? Are you getting up in the morning on autopilot? Your feet hit the ground, drag you to the coffeemaker, carry you to the shower, you go to work in a coma, come home and fix dinner, connect with the kids, maybe, watch a little TV and go to bed, and, Oh My God, get up the next day and do it again.
Maybe you’re the fortunate few that have moments throughout your day where you wake up and feel alive. These moments usually happen when you’re with your family. This could be because the drama of the family is so intense that it’s impossible to sleep through it or it’s your reprieve. Either way, you’re not truly living a life of purpose and passion.
Spiritual renewal through a women’s retreat can restart your engine and put you on a path to living a more alive life. Your life can be lived with excitement, passion and fun! Going deeper into what makes you tick and why you behave the way you do, helps you connect to yourself and sink into the joy that life has to offer.
It is a practice to live in your heart daily. For most of us it doesn’t come naturally.
We have to learn how to connect with those places in us that are hidden away, tucked in tight, and ashamed to be seen, so that we can live authentically and be the real us. This is how we will live a life of passion and purpose.
