Wisdom from Behind the Scenes

Hello from New Mexico!

I'm here for my annual Luminous in Taos retreat.

I've led a lot of retreats. Maybe 30.

And in this one, I'm applying a TON of gathered wisdom.

May I share?

1. The support squad and I arrived two whole days early, so we could have plenty of time and space to settle in and smooth out final details. And also have a full morning at the spa, and a lovely dinner out, etc.

2. I have layers and layers of support, so I am free to be entirely present with both my team AND my retreaters, rather than handling this-and-that. I'm done overextending myself, friends. This is huge.

3. We've been communicating with our attendees for months. We've sent monthly emails, we had a welcome call, we have a social media channel especially for them to connect. We know it's a big deal to travel - especially in these times! - so we're giving lots of support.

Do you see the theme here?

Support.

So much support.

That's my wisdom: we all need plenty, PLENTY, of support in order to thrive.

This isn't what They tell us.

They tell us to work harder / work smarter.

They tell us if we're Good Enough,

Disciplined Enough,

Organized Enough,

we can do it all on our own.

I find this only spreads us thin and wears us out.

(And that is just how They like it!)

Here's what I find is much more true:

When we orient toward support, we orient toward abundance.

COLLECTIVE abundance.

That's the world I'm making,

and the world my support squad and retreaters are co-creating this week in New Mexico.

I wish you were here!

But for now:

Where are you trying to generate more abundance?

More time, more money, more ease?

Where do you need support with that?

What's in the way of you trusting that more support → more success?

If you have a big answer to that last question,

maybe the support you need is from ME.

I'm right here. Rested and rich and ready for you.

love,

Natalie
