That's a wrap...

When my friend Amy originally told me she was running Surf & Yoga retreats under Oshiis, I was so happy for her to pursue and forge forward in her dreams.

When she asked if I would be a part of it, I didn't hesitate to sign my name up after hearing everything they would offer. I am always one that wants to provide an experience for my peeps to remember forever and always going the extra mile.

The Oshiis Surf & Yoga experience was such an amazing thing to be a part of and I am honoured to be a chapter in this journey and so blessed that so many took a leap of wild faith and joined me and Amy in Costa Rica.

When it comes to leading retreats, all I can do is figure out the logistics on my end, cross my fingers and then throw it out to the universe. I never know what is going to happen and I am always humbled and so grateful for the way it turns out.

Being surrounded in a group of like minded individuals who come as they are (authentically raw) is such a rare treat and something I hold and honour. I had so much fun learning to catch the waves, trying to zip down the line and laughing over many shared stories with so many amazing women.

Props for the new friends I have made... Wow! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. My heart is so damn full of love, good times and laughs. I am so happy to share the other side of who I am when I'm not teaching with you and looking forward to the QT with you when we are back home or bumping into each other in our travels.

Shoutout to Amira... The actual woman behind "that's what she said". She IS she people are referring to. I had so much fun laughing and dancing the sweaty nights away.

To amazing Gilbert Brown and Rigo muffin... You two are the best surf instructors a girl could ask for. Thanks for being so amazing at teaching, for coaching and guiding us into those waves. My first surf camp experience will be hard to beat. #oshiissurfergirls #rambutanis

And finally to Amy... You blow my mind. Thank you for this F*** yes moment! Thank you for this experience. I am so proud to be a chapter in this story and definitely eager to see everything bloom for you.

Coincidentally, after my last retreat in Bali and after this retreat in Costa Rica... It coincided with lunar eclipse.
And with any lunar eclipses... It signals a compelling time to shed old and fruitless habits and ways of thinking. It heralds in an opportune time to recreate your story to aid the flow to a new way of being, living, moving and dreaming.

More and more, I move further away from a rocky moment in my life when I first started leading retreats (some know the story but for now it's a moment for another time when I feel stronger to tell the tale). Transforming the retreat experience into magic, love, courage and strength. Thank you everybody involved beyond what you might know at the moment.

Costa Rican Caribbean life has put some things into perspective for me and so many new ideas to sit on, hatch and foster.

I. AM. READY.
