Finding the Magic ~ Bath

September 24 – 28, 2018

This retreat is sold out, but if you would like to go on the waiting list, please email me.

Let’s go somewhere special together. Let’s connect and wonder and talk about wild and magical things…

 


Finding the Magic is not about retreating.

Finding the Magic is about embracing.

 

It is about taking a bit of time for yourself so that you can return to your life feeling more full and more nourished and more connected than ever before.

It is about spending time walking on ancient ground and visiting sacred places, all of which whisper to you that anything is possible.

It is about being part of an intimate circle of only 7 women, creating community, journaling, creating, making magic, holding space for each other, and believing in our dreams.

It is about learning how to not only find the magic but how to actively participate in it.

Because that is where the true Magic is: it’s about listening to your spirit, paying attention, and then participating in the creation of your life.

 

Finding the Magic is about you.

 

 

THE PLACE

The longer I am away from England, the more certain places call to my heart. I can hear their whispers calling me to come back: our adventures are not over.

The week after I had the idea for my novel, I was sent on a work trip to Bath Spa. At the end of the weekend, I decided enough was enough and I took myself on a tour of the Roman Baths. There, in a dark ante-chamber I came face-to-face with both the goddess Minerva and a Gorgon who reminded me of my Dad. As I stared at them, the rest of my book ‘Unfurl’ed around me.

I’m not the only one who thinks it’s wonderful. UNESCO has it on the World Heritage List and says that The City of Bath is of Outstanding Universal Value. 

It is a place of magic; of history and enchantment so deep, you can feel it with every step and see it around every corner.

I invite you to come and find some of that magic for yourself.

 

 

And if the magic of Bath isn’t enough, we will also be spending one morning watching the sun rise from the inner circle of Stonehenge.

Imagine taking all of the dreaming and all of the visioning and all of the magic of a retreat and then claiming all of that for yourself as the sun rises over this circle of ancient stones.

Come and join me.

Finding the Magic

*Magic.

What does it mean to you?

I never thought that magic would be something that would be the basis for my whole life. Like many people, I always connected magic to the wicked witch, to darkness, and to the unknown. I saw magic as something other, something that good girls like me would never touch.

But then I started to write and people told me that I helped them to see their magic. And then I co-led a retreat and people there told me I had brought magic. And then more than one person called me ‘Magic Meg’, seeing something in me that I had not seen for myself.

So I began embracing it. Playing with it. Participating in it. Loving it.

Within three years, my entire life changed.

And it wasn’t about spells and it wasn’t about potions. It wasn’t remotely about anything dark at all. In fact, it baffled me because it was about doing something that I already do: finding the magic – the divine – in the everyday.

Magic is the word I use for the moment of connection between me and the Mystery.

Magic is the tingle, the wonder, and the enchantment. Magic is the belief in something more. Magic is the delight, the help, the wink, the words, the Divine, the angels, the mystical, the transcendent, the unexplainable, the miracle, the holy.

Magic, for me, isn’t about anything other than proof that we are all divinely connected.

Magic is the moments when we remember who we are. 

And it is only more powerful in the company of other women.

Which is why I decided to begin hosting gatherings of women in places known for their magic.

Finding the Magic is about me providing and holding the space for you to crack open the door that stands between you and your very best self. It’s about giving yourself permission to play with what magic you can see, can find, and can feel. It’s about delight and play and letting go just enough to see that you are magic.

is about remembering what it is like to feel free.

And that is what I want for you.
