Nine Fence SquaresA group of nine family caregivers gathered at Rolling Ridge Retreat Center yesterday for a 3-hour Respite Retreat, followed by lunch. These caregivers are journeying with family members living with Alzheimer’s/Dementia, Parkinson’s, Lyme Disease, Cancer, and Life-long Mental Illness. Participants learned & experienced breathing, meditation, and restorative yoga techniques for use anywhere. They shared a safe self-care challenge and received peer feedback and coaching from myself. They practiced a 1-minute retreat and a 1-minute reconnect exercise. We sang & danced the Seven Sustainable Skills Song & Dance while sitting on our chairs.
The hospitality and administration at Rolling Ridge was wonderful, and the food was delicious. Thanks to to all who made the Respite Retreat possible and all who participated. We are one in our suffering and resurrection practices in the now.
Moving forward with a listening heart,
vision, inquiry, and action,
~ Mary
