Like properly rest and lie around and get in water and read books and do what you like and read poems and dance or stay in your room all day go to the sea if you want have a loose schedule and bathe and eat and lounge and luxuriate

*Wildly Improbable Goals and Big Hairy Audacious Goals
How would it be to get so completely lazy that only new things can emerge from where you are, and out of the vacuum created in your rest?
In our weekend retreat …
If you want to write it down, then do, write it down
Have a journal and a writing implement nearby so you can languidly reach over, and gently record your creation…
Holding lazy as a sacred insult that means you are entirely mammaling well
Moving - dance as a child, sing as a sprite, revel in languid luxury like a painting, sit together and chat, converse, muse, compliment, receive
Take minimum action and…
By action - you might write them down, or just let them sit
You might just say them out loud or you may go pick a flower to remind you of the thoughts that sauntered into your brain.
You may frolic with the thought and call in a chat. A meandering chat that has no destination beyon being on the company of women, weaving ordinary magic
When you are listening really listen - get quiet
Expand people’s ideas
Love on our bodies unapologetically
Love on each others bodies
Collect shells and pebbles
Ask the beach for things
Look at animals
See things flying
Get bitten but preferably not by snakes - get evidence of your place in the wild
Feeding
Performance, yet nothing performative
Unless performative is your way into things
Cringe
Be earnest
Sincere
Cynical
Comedic
Don’t get dressed all day
Smell
Sit in water together
Bathe
Shower
Personal hygiene is optional
Go slow
Prove nothing; or everything if that’s the vibe
Snack
Nap
Say things
Be GOD FORBID unprofessional
Read a poem or a phrase from a book
Sneak off for an orgasm
Recommend sex toys
Wear things you are ashamed to wear, because of the gaze of people whose opinion doesn’t matter to you, yet could harm you. You are smart not to wear that thing on the daily - you are smart so smart. We are not those people. But here, you can wear it. Let what naturally wants to sit on your body sit on your body.
This is so much about subtraction, not addition
Well not subtraction just doing nothing
We highly highly recommend not looking at your phone, taking facebook and instagram off your phone and als ignoring that because you might want to spend all weekend on your back scrolling with gay abandon
Do it
We will provide a camera to play with
You could input down to nature input and just see what happens
Get cooked for and cleaned for - no exceptions
No group doing-things duties
Declare - I just dreamed something up!
I just had a notion
Something just wafted through my thoughts
Look, I found a nice stick
Have you seen this stone?
I just flirted with a leaf
When was the last time you just sat around, lay around or hung out with other women?
Not talking about duties, kids, work, a schedule, sunscreen, strategy, food, other people, busy-ness, weight, clothes (besides to just love on them), bodies (besides to just love on them), hair (besides just to love on it)
You look nice
Thank you
Receive compliments
When was the last time you surrounded yourself with notebooks and books and had no need to clear them up?
You let yourself get dreamy - like do a visualisation, not to identify your next steps, although they may just slowly or quickly emerge, but to just enjoy being in the dreamworld. Just to get dreamy. Not for any other reason but to kick back, relax and get dreamy.
Not a bullet point in sight.
No goals
No pre-retreat preparation
No pre-retreat questionnaire
Just a big open space with some lovely things around
Maybe press a flower - beautiful you find yourself jumping to making the most beautiful flower mandala of them all - then maybe just chill
Competitive relaxing - just sit at our table and yeah, saunter, potter, putter, lie down, laze around, stretch like a cat, enthuse like a dog
Get in water, be in water. Take a ‘mystic dip’ these are different from ‘going for a swim’ and all its expectation.
You get in the water.
There’s a lot more potent magic there.
Or maybe just jump in the waves, or float on your back or splash a friend or float on a floaty.
Essency
Saunter and frolic through the waves
Pleasure and enjoyment as the absolute priority
No Healing
Yeah. No. There will be absolutely no healing.
I said it.
Sarah cannot heal you.
Angela cannot heal you.
Zero healings.
Healing nashi.
We may administer insect bite remedies
Apply sunscreen or after sun
Or a plaster to a small cut
Beyond that
No healing
Guaranteed
I mean - you do you if you feel like something is shifting or healing in you, then please leap to your feet and declare…
IT’S MIRACLE!
I take my miracles tiny
Rain
A tree
The mantis that was hanging out in my hall
The message my friend left me
Waves
The massive sting-ray I saw in my local harbour late June
Angela
Being in love
Girl crushes
Long friendships
Weird coincidence
Deep deep relaxation
Sarah’s round belly
Ange’s 6-pack
Sarah’s Bingo Wings
Ange’s guns
Surgery - I mean, surgeons are bloody wizards
They are the real miracle workers
We shall not be performing surgery
Sarah cannot heal you
Angela cannot heal you
No healing.
What if there were magazines and images just lying around? For you to dip in and out of. To saunter through. If you wanted to grab a pair of scissors you could, if you felt like it.
You could stick them on something if you wanted. You could call it a vision board or a collage if you wanted. You might even call it decoupage. Or you might just pick up a pair of scissors, then like some old-timey lady, come over a bit faint and put them down and lie down to recover.
No fomo
No-one will be doing anything so it’s impossible to fear missing out
Saunter into a forest, pick a flower, pick arms full.
Outdoors vibes or Air con vibes - all good.
No sudden movements - you might disrupt an aura (LOL)
Yet a surprise frolic will be a happy event
Karaoke - sing or not
Dance like people are watching - seriously - you don’t want to look like a dick. I mean I don’t care about that but, you know, people do judge. I love a dance - I really do, so much so that someone came up to me and told me I was a good dancer last time I cut a rug
Personal hygiene is a choice.
So is perfume - you can wear what you want - go ahead. I miss the smell of human bodies and perfume
Maybe listen to the future self inner mentor visualisation
Maybe reach back and have conversations with your generations before
SWIMSUITS - bring them
Bring your own bubbles!
Towels are provided
Massages optional and additional from a place down the road depending on availability
But if you have a special towel or throw or a sarong you love - come saunter in your wrap
Myth Change - change your myths around being in your body and being busy - busy will not be a banned word but, you know, you’ll not be getting a cigar if you use it
Un-busy
Saunter and Frolic
