polaroid 600 film, sf view from the marin headlands

Its wild to think that a year ago today i was 2 sleeps away from a beautiful big adventure, a chunk of time exploring san francisco and the bay area. 

I'll never forget that just after this photo was taken we headed up the coast an hour or so, driving through the most gorgeous hills.  It started to rain and the smell of the eucalyptus poured in despite closed windows. 

I'm so excited to be heading back there this year. 

You see, in april, the wonderful Kate Swoboda is putting on the Courageous Living Retreat!  its going to be amazing....

The Dates: April 16-18 at a private house near the beach/ the city of San Francisco.
The Cost: the retreat is $600, but if you sign up by Jan 1st, the total cost is only $400.
                This cost includes shared lodging and all but one meal.  

The Weekend:  Kate describes what the retret is all about in her words and video...

Using the relaxing atmosphere of the beaches and nature around the Marin Headlands, and the color and vibrance of the city of San Francisco, this California retreat gives you an opportunity to take a step back from daily habits, rest, play, live 100% fully alive, connect with others. This is a women's retreat where you can:

I'm extra excited to share that I'll be doing mini-photo sessions for each of the participants who'd like to during the weekend.  So much newness and growths tends to happen at retreats such as this and I'll be so honoured to stand with each person show them what beauty I see in them.

If you feel called to come or would like to know more, head on over to the retreat site!  Do remember that in 2 sleeps it will be back to its normal price! 

Its also almost time for The Courageous Year E-Course to begin!  Registration closes on Jan 1st for the course too!  I'm so excited for both of these things...creating change in my own life and finding community have been what was so transformative about this past year for me.  I'm ready for more!

Eucalyptus, golden light, rolling hills, here we come...
