We are Remedy!
I honestly didn't expect this weekend to have quite the impact on me that it did. From arriving on Friday not really knowing what to expect, to leaving on Monday feeling like I'd genuinely learned something about myself, it was a pretty special experience.
There was so much packed into the weekend, yoga, meditation, breathwork, chanting, journalling, workouts, wild swimming and beautiful scenic walks. Somehow it never felt like we were just moving from one activity to another. Everything felt like it had a purpose, but there was still plenty of time to talk, laugh and just enjoy being there.
The food deserves a mention too because it was fantastic. Every meal felt nourishing and was exactly what we needed to keep us feeling energised throughout some very full days.
What really sets WE ARE REMEDY apart though is Ali, James and Connie themselves. They don't just organise the retreat and then stand on the sidelines. They throw themselves into it with you. They spent real quality time with us, got to know us as individuals and genuinely became part of the group. You can see how much thought, care and energy they put into creating the whole experience, and the fact they take part themselves really reinforces that they practice what they preach.
What surprised me most was the sense of connection. Thirty strangers somehow became this incredibly warm group of people in such a short space of time. I loved that I could be quiet and reflective one minute and laughing until my face hurt the next. It made me realise that all those different sides of me can happily exist together.
I came away thinking differently about how I show up in life and, perhaps most importantly, with a little more acceptance of who I already am rather than always thinking about who I should be.
And then there was the final night. The fire, the conversations, the tears, the laughter, the dancing and all of us singing A Sky Full of Stars together is something I don't think I'll forget for a very long time.
It's difficult to properly explain the magic of WE ARE REMEDY until you've experienced it. Lewis and I came away with memories, friendships and something much more personal that I think we'll carry with us for a long time.
Thank you Ali, James and Connie, and everyone who shared the weekend with us. We absolutely loved it. ❤️
