Leading yourself on a self-led retreat is a truly empowering experience. ItÂ’s time to retreat yourself!Attending a wellness retreat offers a sacred space to pause and reconnect, to step off the monotonous treadmill of daily life to rest, restore and re-energise. Given the right setting, guidance and schedule a retreat can be a life-changing experience. However, the true magic of a retreat doesnÂ’t lie in the location, the leader, or the group - no matter how enjoyable they might be. The true magic lies in your ability to choose to participate and to hand yourself over fully to the experience. Any insights, wisdom or inner shifts you experience while on retreat - whether group or self-led - is all owned by and because of you. The retreat is the excuse to pause. The activities are the vehicle for reconnection. The carved-out space for self-reflection is where the real magic happens.Creating your own retreat experience at home or elsewhere is the ultimate act of self-care.

It was family separation and ''kids in cages'' that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. On discovering the many-headed hydra that is the U.S. immigration system - and the heroic determination of those caught under its knee - she could never look away again. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah''s journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes, layer by ''broken'' layer, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyone - save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it. Deftly weaving together oral storytelling, history, and memoir, Sarah illustrates how the U.S. has led the retreat from post-WWII commitments to protecting human rights. Yet within the web of normalized cruelty, she finds hope and inspiration in the extraordinary acts of ordinary people who prove, every day, there is a better way. By amplifying their voices and celebrating their efforts, Sarah reveals that we can welcome with dignity those most in need of safety and compassion. In unmasking the real root causes of the so-called ''crisis'' in human migration, she urges us to act before we travel much farther down our current course - one which history will ...

But through it all, she was increasingly plagued by fears and deep questions as the belief system she''d been carefully taught clashed with her expanding understanding of the outside world.After spending her early adult life striving ...
