I just facilitated a four day men’s spiritual retreat in Mexico, near Rocky Point on the shore of the Sea of Cortez. We got back late on Sunday and I have been sick and mostly in bed with cramps and diarrhea since then. It is now Tuesday evening and I am happy to say that I feel better. I don’t like being sick, but know it will pass, as things do.
The retreat was a wonderful experience for all ten of us. Lots of love, connection and emotional vulnerability. Early in the retreat we spread the ashes of a friend in the Sea. We then talked about grief, change, who and what we really are. I put the stress on each of us being spiritual beings having a physical experience. As usual, I attempted to facilitate the movement of each individual a step or two further along their spiritual path, by providing the emotional and spiritual space they need. It is important, for me, that I keep things general and have respect for individual differences. I truly feel a lot of love for these guys and want the best for them.
