Nia Fiji Retreat

It’s been a while since I last wrote and thought it would be a great opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to to Sophie Marsh for holding an amazing Nia retreat in FIJI! It was exactly what I needed, which was to embody and deepen with Nia and nurture and rejuvenate my body and what a great way to do so indeed!

I often find that I need to take the time out of my busy lifestyle to rest and ask the body where its at and what it needs. This week gave me the opportunity to really respect myself and ask myself what my body needed the most, and to start listening to what it is I truly am seeking in my life. I realised it was space. Space to be creative, to express and to allow my body to release anything that which no longer served me or wished to release.

Since this Nia retreat, I feel I have flourished in my life to make the bold choices I have been holding onto, which was to leave my job to pursue a creative career in Performing Arts and Movement Dance and let go of anything that was negative or demanding more from me, which held me back from pursuing my dreams. I feel like I have grown to stand up for my truth and what is right  for me, and let the universe take care of the rest. I don’t know what will evolve out of this decision other than I dedicate my time now to respecting my body and truth and go for the things in life that make my spirit sing, dance and inspire! I look forward to the journey with gratitude.
