2021 RETREATS UPDATE

For anyone needing (waiting on) an update-- I have posted 2021 UPDATES at the Squam Blog. Mostly it says, hang tight---- all reggies have been processed but it might be tomorrow before you receive your email. THANK YOU for your patience and your JOY. Omg, so much JOY! More soonest, Elizabeth

Over at the blog, I share a video of one sacred moment I recorded on my phone early one morning on Squam lake. I hope you will take a minute to sink in and enjoy it, let the peace and stillness (that is also full of birdsong and moving skies and water) offer solace to your spirit.

It is no secret that the poems of Mary Oliver have carried me through many, many life experiences and always seemed to have just the right wisdom for whatever situation I was navigating. Her poem, “Things Take the Time They Take” is probably close to a mantra in my world. I refer to it frequently, never more often than this past year and, more specifically, in the past weeks as I have worked to get some wonderful retreats ready for you. Everything is now ready for you to review and reflect upon. It may be that 2021 is not the year for you to join us again, but you can certainly window shop and enjoy getting to know the teachers and their magic. If you ARE able to join us– wow, beyond exciting and thrilling. However, please do remember– no stress. No urgency. The reason I had put in the pre-registration option so many years ago was to mitigate the sense of rush. Because I am on my own here at Squam HQ for the foreseeable future, I don’t have the margins to offer that. So, you can register TODAY, but please don’t stress or rush– trust everything will roll out just as it should. There is always time enough. This past year has been so grueling, so draining to our personal and collective energies, my hope is that these gatherings will provide you the perfect environment to nurture and replenish your vitality, joy and spirit. And so, as intention has organizing power, please begin with steady calm so that the entire experience, from start to finish is held in a vibration of clear, true light. No stress no urgency. If it feels right, great. If for any reason this isn’t a yes for you this year, let it go– there will be a time that feels exactly right. These gatherings will be richer and more meaningful than ever as we will have so many stories to share, so much courage, sorrow, loss, discovery and growth that this past year has given us. bisous, Elizabeth

Tomorrow is the day you will be able to see all that is on offer for 2021. HEADS UP! There will be no pre-registration option, so when we open the doors, registration is OPEN.

Because we are keeping the events small with a focus on social distancing, there are TWO Spring sessions running back to back (of course, you can register for both if you want to make a full week of it!) And, for the first time in the history of RDC, each person will have a PRIVATE room (unless sharing with a family member or pod friend)-- so that is a true silver lining for the year ahead.

Right now, I just wanted you to have the dates so you can check your calendars to see if the timing lines up for you.

More tomorrow--- bisous, Elizabeth

It is an honor to be joined by such an extraordina

It is an honor to be joined by such an extraordinary group of teachers who have created a most wonderful offering of workshops for 2021. Not only are these instructors passionate about their work, they have the open heart and deep wellspring of joy and compassion that makes learning and expanding our knowledge a true gift. Plus? there will be much with the fun and silliness and Saturday extras as always.

The countdown has begun! Over the next seven days, there will be a little sneak peek here of what is waiting for you when we launch on Tuesday, December 1st. We are lucky to be able to offer many of the classes that had to be cancelled last year, but there will also be some exciting new offerings from teachers who have never joined us before. SO-- lots to check out when the time comes.

Meantime, please be safe, wise, and -- as best you can-- may you be grounded and connected to your inner light so you can make it through these challenging days. (NOTE: big joy for me right now is watching VOICES of FIRE on Netflix. Oh, this show just fills my whole heart).

And, as always, please know-- under the best of circumstances, hosting in-person retreats is a dance with variables and surprises. Given the current state of the world, all we can do is open our hearts, set our intentions and let go. Thank you for your patience and understanding in all of this. bisous, Elizabeth

Fresh horizons. Water, mountains and trees. After a long year of looking at the same walls, it will be a bit of heaven to be able to stargaze, walk in the woods and sit on the dock, feet in the lake, wrapped in the magnificence of a sunrise.

Gentleness, spaciousness. Time to sit by the water. Room for reflection and restoration.
Nourishment for heart, mind, body and spirit. So much goodness awaits.
