I never imagined that a girl from a small college town in Kentucky would end up finding home in the Sacred Valley of Peru, but here I am—29 years old, living my best life, and feeling more at peace than I ever thought possible. So, how did I go from the fast-paced streets of Miami to teaching yoga surrounded by mountains and alpacas? Well, it definitely wasn't a direct path…

As someone who had never experienced a retreat before, let me start by saying that this Peru Itinerary 2 weeks of Allowing Ease Retreat, was just what I needed. Each and every single day held it’s own value and significance. Whether it be the transformation, the care that was poured into me, or even what I had experienced while in Peru itself.

Let’s just say that I ‘thought’ that I knew what I needed until I was given a clearer reflection of my authentic self and my more ideal life balance, during the self-paced itinerary Peru.

Peru called me before I even began searching for it in itself, people would ask me where I was headed to next and I would say Peru, it was a heart and soul led answer without much afterthought. After about a handful of people kept asking and my answer never shifted.

In our modern world, where every second counts and digital devices incessantly demand our attention, we have a growing desire for moments of rest and relaxation. Moments where we can disconnect from the hum of notifications and reconnect with our inner selves. This growing need has given rise to a blossoming service dedicated to offering sanctuary from the daily hustle: the world of retreats.

I don’t consider myself religious, in that I don’t follow any specific doctrine or dogma. Having that said spiritual truth is spiritual truth, and I celebrate the diverse ways in which spiritual teachings have been shared around the world for millennia. I have a deep connection to many mystics including the Buddha, Christ, Adyashanti, and many others. One of the most crucial truths I’ve learned about spirituality, and the spiritual journey from these teachers is the importance of self-compassion.

You know how we use our phones to make calls, send messages, and access the internet? Well, inside our phones tiny components called quartz crystals help make all of that possible.

One important use of quartz crystals in communication technology is in something called a quartz oscillator. An oscillator is like a tiny clock that helps keep track of time.

True rest happens when we let go of any identity and relax into the root of our being. The most energy you spend any given day is maintaining an identity of yourself. You’re usually not even aware of how exhausting it is to maintain multiple identities. Trying to be someone at work, someone at your kid's school, and even someone when you’re alone and no one is looking.
