It’s now four days after the closing ceremony, and only now am I slowly beginning to realise the magnitude, and significance, of the ineffable experience of the Divine Being Activation Retreat last week.

Following the retreat, I was blessed to share a couple of days in Dorset/Somerset, with someone I love dearly, and headed back to Yorkshire on Monday morning, to head back to my day job on Tuesday.

I felt so moved when I returned home, that I cancelled my contract for the rest of the week as I realised I needed to be still, reflect, walk in nature, and journal. Knowing, that I didn’t end the retreat last Saturday, but begin an incredible journey of growth that Openhand is a beautiful fit for.

It’s the first meditation retreat I’ve ever been to, and my first exposure to the Openhand community. Not only did Open himself make me feel incredibly welcomed as soon as I arrived, but the beautiful souls I met who were also attending very quickly felt like wonderful friends I’ve known for years. Wow. True soul food.

I laughed, I cried, saw the light, felt the darkness and everything in between which was magical. I simply cannot wait to return, thank you everyone 💖🙏
