Awaken to Joy Retreat

The Harmony Healing Centre works with really awesome, gifted teachers who share our passion for holistic wellness.  Our dear friends Susan Bianchi and Becky Eshelman recently guided a women’s retreat at the Harmony using the engaging, thoughtful, and playful process of BAALL – Breathe, Ask, Allow, Listen & Love. Here they offer a glimpse into the experience.

Walking onto the lush grounds at Harmony Healing Centre allowed everyone the opportunity to take a moment, look around and just exhale. That was the intention behind having BAALL Process’ Awaken to Joy Retreat at the Harmony.

And with that exhale the retreat had started.

The retreat was all about awakening our senses, feeling the Joy, discovering the blocks and moving through them in a Joyful, playful, pampering environment. As the attendees entered their week, they did not fully know what was to transpire but they all showed up fully committed and open to their path and to the process of Awakening.

It was exciting and inspiring to see their shifts. Trusting in the BAALL Process and in each of us, made for a most perfect space to grow and play. These women came to embrace the experience and move forward in their lives and sharing in those transformations was humbling.

The morning sessions provided a creative and supportive space for each woman to explore at her own pace, while honoring each others’ paths and journeys. The power of women coming together in a sacred space cannot be underestimated. Exploration and new discoveries built as the days progressed. They were full in experience, yet not rushed in time. We would like to think that together we expanded time. That might be a little stretch, but maybe not.

The Retreat began at the ocean with a sunrise scrub and playful dip in the ocean, opening ourselves for the week to come. The closing of the Retreat ended at the ocean with a magnificent sunset, dance on the beach, float in the tide pools and conversation suspended as the sun joined us for a dip in the ocean. Nature once again proved to be the most perfect punctuation for the week, an Elixir for the soul.

Awaken to Joy will return to Harmony Hotel, Nosara, Costa Rica in May 2019.
