A Weekend of Renewal
We are delighted to share with you a taste of our Mama Renew retreat. Sixteen women gathered at Rolling Earth Retreat Centre for just over 30 hours, during which time we kayaked, ate scrumptious organic food fresh from the garden, laughed a lot, danced, cried some, painted, explored, slept, did yoga, soaked in the hot tub, gazed at the stars, and truly surrendered to what the weekend had to offer. And then we returned home, renewed & inspired and with a new dose of clarity on our lives as women and mothers.
It’s hard to believe how much renewal can happen within such a short time period. The kayaking experience was especially exhilarating and challenging, allowing each of us to draw on inner resources and navigate our own path through the waves. We could go on and on about how magical it was, but instead will share with you the words of Melanie who wrote about the experience in her blog:
Retreated, Renewed Returned
Sixteen women, all of us mothers, all of us wishing to explore aspects of our lives; not just as mothers, but as people with our own lives, thoughts, feelings, desires, goals, pasts, interests, challenges…
I left there with many new friends…I left with a bit more peace than I arrived with. I left tired and a little heart-drained, but with more energy than I had before. Long before I was home, I wanted Cameron’s arms around my neck, I wanted to see his whole face smile, I wanted to tell him I love him.

Many thanks to Joah and Brett of Rolling Earth for their gracious welcome and care. As Melanie raved in her blog, “Did I mention that we ate fabulous food? Food with flowers in it? I swear I’ll never serve cheese again without flowers.”
