What do you need to feed your soul?
Answering a question like this requires a breath, a step back, perhaps a walk in the sunshine. We may be so far removed from our sense of soul-level satisfaction that our answers take awhile to arrive.
We may need the power of pause in order to come home to ourselves.
Rachelle Mee-Chapman is a life coach and spiritual director who specializes in soul care. Soul care is a deeper, richer form of self-care; one that encompasses the spiritual as much as the physical and mental.
Rachelle knows that retreat is an essential component of soul care, but that retreat comes in many flavors, shapes and sizes. Creating a retreat, whether for as long as it takes to drink a cup of tea, or for a week, requires honesty about what we’re truly hungry for. And the pause allows us to choose the doorway we know will lead us to what we desire.
Amy Kessel spoke recently with Rachelle about the barriers to self-care we create for ourselves, and about why we gather as women. This is timely, as Hestia Retreat prepares for its annual Women’s Day of Wellness on April 26: women in the Puget Sound area will come together on Vashon Island for a full day of soulful self-care, inspiration and connection.
If you’re local, please consider spending the day! Learn more about the Women’s Day of Wellness here.
Enjoy the conversation.
