Retreat - The start.

#Throwback #stories #SecretsofSubconscious #retreat

12th Aug. An important day in the lives of 8 people. For this was the day, all of us had waited for. To bring a change, a shift, a transformation in our lives. At the subconscious level. Participants gathered from Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Dubai for this transformational journey. Somehow, fighting all the odds, the resistance as well as personal battles, we could make it for the retreat!

As we met at the Cochin Airport, each one in their cocoons and layers of protection, hardly had I thought that this could be one of the powerful groups ever coming together. With core issues and experiences being the same, I feel, we shared some of the most painful, life-transforming and heart-wrenching events and incidents earlier in our lives. Similar at the crux, however different in appearance. We left, from the Cochin Airport, singing and making merry. Getting to know each other, without knowing what pillars of strength and support we would become for each other over the days to follow.

The welcome at the resort was heartwarming and set the tone for us and the activities that had to follow. After so many goof ups, with the transport and the stay, in the end, on day 1, we not only managed to pull it, however, were more than happy with what we received. It was more than what I and Ankit could've really asked for. And then, in the heart of my heart, I knew, that this was going to be more than I could have ever thought about...
