The people who helped me lead my first retreat were sent by the Universe in June 2013, and my first retreat manifested in January 2014, on a beautiful marine preserve on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. At the time, I had no idea how I would accomplish that, but it was enough to be clear that that was what I wanted to do with my life. But one of the most powerful ways that I’ve discovered to accomplish this profound desire of mine, is to open up the opportunity for people to go deep by taking them out of their routines, responsibilities, habits and comfort zones, into a Retreat.

This can be done in the context of a public class, and it happens almost every day at Adi Shakti. That’s why I teach Kundalini Yoga…it’s the quickest and best way I know to alter one’s consciousness, access the frontal lobe, and connect with Source, Intuition, Compassion and Wisdom. The essence of it was that I most desire to facilitate people to reach their depths…to go deep into their Soul’s purpose and truth…to touch their own core essence and identity…to go beyond the superficial day-to-day distractions of “doing” life and connect in with who they are and why they are here. Three years ago, I was doing some exploration on what my deepest desires were as far as my work in the world. I wanted to share this story of the creation of the next women’s retreat, to take place on Kauai, Hawaii, in February 2016, because to me it illustrates several key principles of manifestation: trust, co-creation with the Universe, collaboration, the willingness to let go, and a desire to be of service.
