Welcome to the 7 Wonders Retreat Series.

My name is Tina Bruce.

We begin by retreating inwards.

Feel your body breathing.

Sense the current of grace running through your heart.

And let's wander towards your soul.

Landing on the open plains of Africa.

Your bare feet on the flat earth of a vast grassy savannah.

You can hear the sound of wildlife around you but know that you are very safe.

Emerging out of the golden knee-high grass ahead are several sets of pointy ears.

What could it be?

A pride of lionesses untamed and majestic begin to surround you.

These creatures are your guides here to protect you and escort you to a very sacred place.

Each step you take you begin to feel lighter and more free like a rewilding of your own intuitive nature is taking place.

They lead you proudly towards a giant acacia tree.

A home and a canopy of shade to many animals.

They direct you to lie down underneath this tree and breathe with it.

It began as a tiny seed just like you.

There is birth,

There is death and there is breath.

Sense yourself now breathing with this sacred site.

To create we must first retreat into darkness.

To be reborn we are invited to dissolve and fall apart first.

Tell yourselves to lose their form so they can be put back together in a new system.

Plant your seed in this fertile soil where only potential exists.

The dust and the dirt will feed and give you all the nourishment you need.

We need to rest underground to bury into our unconscious.

Then when the dawn breaks new shoots will glimpse the sun's first light.

Fragile and delicate at first.

Raw and soft to the gentle breeze that kisses your cheek.

Are you willing now to surrender all that is blocking your growth?

The ancestors of this sacred site speak to you now.

Retreat to this place my love to honour your life cycles within.

Follow your own rhythm and feel it in your blood and your bones.

When something is dying within you sense it falling away and wait patiently in transition.

Nobody outside of you can tell you what your inner rhythms are.

Planting yourself underground is like being drawn into contemplation and rejuvenation.

Trust you have the courage to face your shadows and dark nature.

The universe never gives you a forest it gives you a seed.

Know that spring always comes after winter.

You will bloom and see the light again even if you're not ready for it.

You will be reborn as the circle of life supports you.

Life is always supporting you.

You you you
