“I was invited to a day long wellness retreat by a friend, just before Christmas, the year that COVID hit. I was nervous about what other people would think of me attending a gathering with, gasp, people I didn’t know, in a non-outdoor location, but I had recently been through a breakup, was still processing my divorce, and was in limbo about my career. Ultimately, I said screw what other people might say, and I chose myself, and drove to Connellsville, PA in a snowstorm, the Sunday before Christmas. I had no idea what to expect. But I knew I should be there. What I found was a room full of women, in a space that breathed healing. There was a fresh bloom to the essence of it all.
