This past weekend I witnessed the beauty of women connecting with their inner wisdom. This is one of the many things I love about my work: holding space for the unfolding of the creative process as it guides  people back to their inner wisdom. In my clinical practice this happens as well but often over a longer period of time. There is something about the workshop process that allows participants to engage their inner wisdom at a quicker pace and in ways that pleasantly surprise them.   I feel honoured to be a witness to this.

Each woman was unique in her process with separate but overlapping intentions for participating. Each came to the workshop with their own ideas and goals for participating.  Their willingness to explore and share their journey simply by being present was inspiring to me.

We laughed, their were some tears, expressed desires and intentions. We released old patterns form 2014,  shared new intentions and visions for 2015.

Each woman knew they wanted to be there, but not necessarily why. Their original vision of what they would accomplish shifted in ways that empowered them connecting them to their inner wise woman.

I was in awe of their strength, their willingness to open to vision. Each board reflected their uniqueness, beauty and power. These strong women embraced their heart’s desires, ripped through pages and pages of magazine in search of a connection with their intentions in visual form.

No two vision boards were the same. They were as different from each other as they were different from what each thought their vision board would look like. And that was the point. Sometimes we think we know what we want but it is this very thinking that  gets in our way of our true desires. If we allow ourselves to feel our way toward a vision for ourselves, the outcome can be miraculous.

I share this here to remind you that you too have the answers inside. There is no need to over think the answers. For they will come when you are ready to open to your vision.
