A Conversation Between Foxes

June 18, 2014

“Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.” – Paulo Coelho

 

redfox-1When I signed up to go to a wonderful Squam retreat in Italy, I was full of apprehension. Italy? To do nothing but spend time with strange women while eating and painting? It felt decadent and delicious, and ever-so-slightly crazy.

I had looked at other retreats before – I’ve been coveting a place at Squam in New Hampshire since the very first one, and there have been dozens of retreats led by amazing people all over the world that I thought looked wonderful, but until Italy, I hadn’t taken the plunge.

But something felt different. I felt called to attend. It wasn’t just a wish or a ‘wouldn’t that be great,’ it was more of an ‘I have to do this.’ There was no question that I would go. I listened to that small knowing, and booked my ticket.

Attending that retreat changed my life!

In a shared bedroom in a hotel on an Italian hillside, Susannah, Sas and I birthed the idea that became Redfox Retreats, and last October the first circle of women gathered with us in the Somerset countryside. It was astonishing and nourishing and silly and every single participant told us that they felt changed by the experience.

There is just something about women gathering together that is incredibly powerful.

Sas, Susannah and I got together the other night and recorded a little podcast for you about what you can expect at a Redfox Retreat. We talked about the power of women’s circles, nourishment, gluten free cake, what happened at the last retreat and how even we were changed by it. (It all gets quite silly and very honest by the end!)

I hope you will come and hang out with us – both virtually and in person!

with love,

Magic and Miracles

October 7, 2013

“Magic and miracles happen everywhere I go.” – Me

fire meghan genge

After never having much success with affirmations, a few months ago I started an experiment. Instead of reciting affirmations that my lizard brain could disagree with, I started noticing magic and miracles. If for any reason I noticed beauty or love or nature or whimsy or if I was delighted in any way, I would say, “Magic and miracles happen everywhere I go!”

And of course, as I had already seen proof, my brain would have to believe it.

After a few months, I slowly changed my tactic. Every now and then I would slip in a little, “Magic and miracles happen everywhere I go,” when I hadn’t actually seen anything. Then my brain would have to actively look for proof that it was true, because if previous experience was anything to go by, it must be true.

And now?

Magic and miracles happen absolutely everywhere I go!

You want proof?

How about getting to spend 5 days with two of my best friends and an amazing circle of women? Try being witness to bravery and honesty and openness and deep soul sharing. How about releasing and manifesting and cackling and dancing under the stars? How about unlimited – and I do mean unlimited – cake?

And if that wasn’t enough, proof looks like crayons and markers and candles and crystals and journals and love – SO. MUCH. LOVE. – all overseen by a green velvet buddha and a tiny plastic fox.

Proof is in the divine guidance that told us to open the door and hold the space – because that is all we did

and then magic and miracles happened.

Magic and miracles happen everywhere I go.

What would happen if you believed it too?
