If you’re considering the LeapDive Shamanic Retreat – but still unsure – I highly encourage you to question the thoughts that want to keep you where you are. What is waiting for you could be beyond your wildest dreams.
From Ashley:
Life was good, but uncertainty, some fears and a lot of heartbreak was the space I was in. I wasn’t sure I wanted to commit to the LeapDive Shamanic Retreat. I decided to go ahead at the last minute.
While I wasn’t a stranger to the very special land that is Terra Nova, being there for 4 weekends, engaging with the nature spirits and special spots there at Terra Nova took me to new levels – of myself and nature. Bonding with the other and feeling safe in the work we were doing created new doorways of potential for my life. During the week while back at home, things were different; I was different and I was learning to operate in a new way.
My life now? I attribute much to how I changed because of LeapDive. Something was, as I call it, removed. Like a plug in a wall that was blocking water flow. And while blocking that water seemed safe, when the plug was removed, the water gushed and took me into rapids. I had some dark nights of the soul (also experienced because of the storm Helene [that devastated Western NC during the last weekend of the retreat]) but I went under into dark waters and there was met by a Navajo shaman who only spoke Navajo to me. Night after night, he’d wake me and talk. I’d yell at him – I don’t understand what you are saying!
But I knew that while my left brain couldn’t interpret his words, something in me understood. (I grew up on a Navajo reservation, and so there was some deep healing unfolding). I had to embody and physically experience something. He’d speak and I’d talk back, also in Navajo. I’d feel the need to get up and dance, stomp, clap, drum, scream, shake, or cry. I stopped questioning and just responded intuitively, night after night.
Doors began opening in my life. Connections, gifts, support, love and opportunities. I had to respond to receive and in doing so, I now have every single thing that had been on my list of Wishes, Wants and Dreams. Every. Single. Thing. This includes manifesting my life partner (and soon to be husband!), living in the neighborhood that I’ve wanted to live in for a decade, having a home to commune with the land and nature spirits, and a new level to my work and service!
If you’re considering the LeapDive Shamanic Retreat, but still unsure I highly encourage you to question the thoughts that want to keep you where you are. What is waiting for you could be beyond your wildest dreams.
