The first step to honest and effective self-care is asking yourself, "what do I need right now?" But that's not as simple of a question nor as simple of an answer as it seems. There are two big things we need to learn in order to ask, answer, and do the what's best for us at any given moment:
1) you must learn how to pause and listen to the intuitive part of yourself that really knows what you need (not what someone else told you you need, nor what you would prefer or rather do)
2) you must learn what activities, people, places, foods, etc. will actually give you what you need so that you can then provide it for yourself.
In that vein, I'd love to invite you to:
1) attend my Self-Care as a Business Strategy workshop being offered as part of the amazing Rebelle Con {Lifestyle Design for Entrepreneural Women Conference, Nov 9-11}
2) to take a few minutes to tell me what YOU WANT offered at by me at The Apiary OR online in 2018!
 , always.

The Annual Spring Yoga & Meditation Retreat
This has easily become one of my most anticipated experiences each year and what I refer to as a "macro" form of self-care. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a multi-day retreat entirely intended to replenish you, to fill you up in mind, body, and soul. The effects of attending such a retreat linger throughout the rest of the year.
The retreat includes twice-daily yoga classes, morning and evening meditation, an amazing community of practitioners, and truly nutritious and delicious food prepared in-house by the extraordinary Ayurvedic-inspired Chef, Mary Silcox... all at the one-of-a-kind Heartstone Lodge, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The retreat is almost 1/2 full, so please don't wait to register if you're hoping to attend!
