<p>R<em>eturn to the Sacred Heart    Labyrinth at the Ghost Ranch</em></p>
<div>The next <strong>Peaceful Path Women’s Retreat </strong>is in a very special, spiritual place in<strong> New Mexico</strong> called the <strong>Ghost Ranch</strong> on <strong>May 14-20th, 2012.</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div> This retreat is a pilgrimage, a sacred journey to activate wisdom within you, exploring the energies of the land through ceremony, doing, being, sharing and exploration&#8230;</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>New Mexico is truly an enchanting, rugged land that will surely open your heart, stir your soul, and experience <var></var>its beauty and ancient energies.  It is the perfect place to release the old energies as we come to the end of the Mayan Calendar in 2012 and open to the beginning of the <em>new way</em>.</div>
<div> </div>

<p>A <strong>&#8220;Peaceful Path Retreat</strong>&#8221; summons up visions of joy, relaxation, play, creativity, serenity, harmony &#8211; uniting to create a special ambiance as women gather in a peaceful way, creating new friendships and lasting memories. A calm, natural environment complements our retreat’s purpose to offer the opportunity to explore our evolving pathways and to experience inner peace and wholeness.</p>

<p> A Women’s Spiritual Retreat is a type of pilgrimage, a sacred journey, that you take when you need to get away from daily stresses, and at the same time, have a deep yearning of self discovery, transformation and desire for greater awareness and connection to our Source.</p>
<p>Like any pilgrimage, there is the unknown and this adds excitement to the journey. The retreat becomes a venture forth, a step into the unknown. Even if you have been to one before, each retreat has its own personality, form and transformative qualities that make it new, unique and memorable. A special ambiance occurs as women gather in a peaceful way, creating community and new friendships.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Women&#8217;s Spiritual Retreat is a type of pilgrimage, a sacred journey, that you take when you need to get away from daily stresses, and at the same time, have a deep yearning of self discovery and desire for greater awareness and connection to our Source. Like any pilgrimage, there is the unknown and this adds excitement to the journey. The retreat becomes a venture forth, a step into the unknown. Even if you have been to one before, each retreat has its own personality, form and transformative qualities that make it new, unique and memorable. A special ambiance occurs as women gather in a peaceful way, creating community and new friendships.</p>
<p>Here are ten super reasons to attend the Peaceful Path Women&#8217;s Retreat.</p>
<p>Reason #1 &#8211; Caring About Yourself</p>
<p>The better you are feeling &#8211; emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually &#8211; the better your life will unfold and all around you will benefit from your transformation. Self care is a necessity and the time is now to step forward to be nurtured, inspired and experience a peaceful way.</p>
<p>Reason #2 &#8211; Making the Inner Connection to your Core Self</p>
<p> In our busy world, we seldom take time to quiet our mind, our body and our heart to our true Self within. It is within each of us that we find peace, love and truth. Find ways to reconnect with the real you&#8230;it is a wonderful experience, an everlasting one.</p>
<p>Reason #3 Allowing yourself to feel lighter.</p>
<p>Can you imagine a few days where you can relax and let go of your problems? You may find a new view, a new way, where your anxieties are released and you actually feel physically and emotionally lighter. Allow yourself to try a new way of being&#8230;a lighter, more peaceful way.</p>
<p>Reason # 4 Experiencing unity with nature</p>
<p>This retreat will show how deeply we are connected with nature and all life. You can enjoy quiet solitude on beautiful walking trails or sit by the flowing streams being mindful of the natural beauty around you. This natural connection heals and comforts. You will feel a sense of oneness and peace.</p>
<p>Reason #5 Expanding your spiritual awareness and intuition</p>
<p> Women are naturally intuitive and can understand one another without saying a word. When women gather, something magical occurs, a inner knowing and compassion, that unfolds that brings warmth and comfort to all&#8230;with just a smile. The retreat creates an awareness and remembrance of our intuitive self as we allow it to guide us in a trusting way.</p>
<p>Reason #6 Experience inner peace through meditation</p>
<p>During the retreat, we will have guided meditation to great a deep feeling of relaxation and inner peace. You will also have time for solitude and meditation on your own. There are many wonderful spots that you may find for meditation. The beautiful rippling stream at the Ecology Centre is healing and serene. Taking time for self reflection and quiet is calming and refreshing.</p>
<p>Reason #7 Laugh and renew the spirit of your inner child</p>
<p>When women gather at a retreat there is always lots of laughter to lighten our spirits and open our hearts. Whether it is while we share a meal or a workshop or gather at the fireside, it is always fun to share and allow our inner child to come out to play.</p>
<p>Reason # 8 De-stress, Rest and Relax</p>
<p>Taking time at a retreat to de-stress,  rest and relax is something we do not do very often at home. Curl up with a good book or listen to music or even take a well deserved nap! The retreat provides free time for you to choose how you want to spend it.</p>
<p>Reason # 9 Opening to new ideas</p>
<p> Each retreat is about creating the &#8216;whole&#8217; you so you can expand your preceptions and create the life you really want. Creativity seems to flow naturally at a retreat as new ideas and expressions of thoughts flow when we are in a environment that is supportive and understanding our challenges and encouraging our visions.</p>
<p>Reason #10 A sense of community</p>
<p> As we gather at a retreat, a supportive community seems to form in just a short time. We take away this sense of community and know that friendships have formed that can continue after the retreat is over. Many past retreaters keep in touch and return again to a new retreat that is always unique but always has the warmth of a peaceful community.</p>
<p> As the retreat closes, you will know that you have made a connection&#8230;created a new path&#8230; and a lasting memory of a special time. </p>
<p> I am facilitating the <strong>Peaceful Path Women&#8217;s Retreat in Oct. 14-16. </strong> Please let me know if you would like to attend or received a registration form.  This retreat fills up quickly so please let me know if you are interested by e-mailing: <a href="mailto:goldenlightcentre@rogers.com">goldenlightcentre@rogers.com</a>    Location: The Ecology Retreat Centre in Hockley Valley near Orangeville.
