Sounds like a bit of a daunting title doesn’t it? This interesting article is by one of my favourite authors, Charles Eisenstein.

It is such a shame that this retreat had to come to an end!! I’m sure we all could have stayed another week and enjoyed the beautiful relaxing surrounds, good food and friendships that we formed.
