I have a break from teaching at community colleges before Thanksgiving so I'm going on retreat. Of course, I could theoretically retreat right from home as I live next to Sloan's Lake and can be out in a beautiful setting instantaneously. However, four years ago I stayed in a beautiful, protected canyon in south-east New Mexico and have always wanted to go back. You have to hike in 1.5 miles and cross a shallow river 7 or 8 times to get there, which helps you ground and enter the precious canyon in respect and peace. There are just a couple of cabins and the caretakers.
There I will be meditating, writing, and checking into my soul to uncover more unresolved issues before I start my pilgrimage. Peace and clarity will be the outcome. Please wish me well. I'll be in a heavenly state there and hope to carry it back with me after a long drive home into a Thanksgiving full of the most gratitude I've ever experienced in my life. Love and blessings to you all. Paula
