WHAT's YOUR WORTH?

 

 

It's our SIXTH annual Women's Retreat!  WHAT's YOUR WORTH?

Dear AMAZING women,

For the past 5 years women have reviewed the Women's Retreat flyer only to ask me, "Yes, but what is it going to be like?" I always find myself pointing to the flyer and noting the content... but I just get asked again... "What will it be like?" So, this year I want to share with you a story... about me. In college, I was in a play called the Miracle Worker. One day, at rehearsal, the director asked three of us women, who happened to be standing together, to scream as loud as we could. Two of us, including me, held back. The other woman was given an extra part as she, without hesitation, let-out a blood curdling scream... on demand. Why ... why did I hold back?  I held back because I felt too embarrassed to throw myself out there.  

Now move forward in time with me: While watching TV the other evening, I listened as Angelina Jolie described an evening of “oh my, what have I done” Angelina noted trepidation with BIG excitement.  She was reeling from her first experience as a movie director.  She shared that she “sold” herself and the movie UNBROKEN to the producers before she knew what she was really doing.  But in the midst of her trepidation and the thought of “I’ve never done this type of work before” she realized she would figure it out and make it great!  The momentary edge she felt was vacuumed up by her WORTH. Our WORTH or lack of WORTH… breaks us or makes us… every time.  I know this feeling and contemplation well.  

self esteem or respect confidence and pride psychology    My life has evolved immensely since college … and my healing around shame and vulnerability grew my WORTH into full presence.  So many times in life we feel our tethers: “I feel passionate about (fill in the blank) but can I really do it?” “I want to make this shift” or “create this: business, relationship, adventure” or “show-up more fully”.   I know you want to walk without fear and hesitation yet THE feet are concretized, emotions BECOME disabling and thoughts ARE confusing when we lap the bottom of the worth bucket.  And yet, when WORTH is our main ingredient… we move into position and welcome the unfamiliar and live an ongoing taste test of LIFE!  The biggest excitement and deepest blessings in my adult life have come from my knowing… I can do this… I will make it happen! We live our BEST when we are supported by our own self-WORTH.  It is in that moment… we HOLD our OWN hand.  The NEW year is here and I have been feeling the heartbeat of the Women’s Retreat stronger than any time in my life.  This year we emphasize shame resiliency, connection and vulnerability and process with immediate application.  How will this look?  It will be an immersion program with few distractions. 

IMMERSION INTO WHAT?  

YOUR SELF-WORTH 

YOUR LIFE APPLICATION

Have you wanted to expand your life?  Have you wanted to untether from shame, hesitation, limiting behaviors and split-end self-talk?  Maybe you just want a jump start into your creative arena… a venue to discover what you are made of? Experiences amongst loving and safe souls that help transcend the barriers to breathing your life vs surviving your existence.

TWR 2015 brings you intensely deep neuronal process that highlights the areas you have been tethered by.  Yes, like many women’s retreats prior… we will have time for movement and drumming, delicious food embraced with conversation and laughter… but more so than any other year… we will SLOW to clear mind condensation and heart blockages… we will roller coaster our sacred self to catch up to spirit… We will create heart beats at sunset in the rock canyon and soul drawing while lounging on the front lawn.  We will play by the pool and then dive into deep wounds as we meditate on the Tai Chi court.  We will come up for deeply oxygenated considerations as we peruse meaningful readings, questions and exercises.  July brings us beautiful weather, (cooler than the 97 degrees we had last October) longer days and bigger sunsets.  Our weekend will close as we discover worth oozing from our pores!

Allow me to cultivate your growth as we traverse the weekend through realms of multiple teaching sessions (a la ME) along with long strands of sharings and process experiences.   This year… TWR 2015 will be offering a new course… with new teachers and a lot more from ME.  This is your invite to register… early registration offers you the best price as well as payment options.  Registration is available at: BickfordCovington.com

Register Now! FOR PAYMENT PLANS... please read below:

 

Check out with PayPal and choose PayPal Credit. Subject to credit approval. See Terms.

This year I have found a great solution for those who wish payment plans.  Every year it takes me several hours each month to serve invoices and follow-up (for some) for payment. It's not my best talent to do billing and I find it zaps my creative energy... so I am asking those of you who wish for a payment plan to click on this button.  PayPal will let you purchase this retreat and will give you 6 months interest free (better than what I offered!) to pay it off!

 

So... Click on the link above to read about how PayPal credit works... then register with the button above and select the button that reads: Pay with PayPal.   

For those who just don't want to play around with credit... I have an option for you too! There is a payment plan selection for checks. Please register (you will not be charged) and select your room preference.  Once you have registered please contact our office within 72 hours to arrange for a check process that will make us both happy!  Please note that we will not hold your reservation past 72 hours so call us at 909-794-8400.

 

Thank you for supporting my WORTH and helping me keep my time for creative endeavors.  

Much love,

Tracy
