There is always a moment during the retreat when I notice a shift, where we go beyond being friendly and the true bonding begins. For me, this was our night of light – our day for \u201cyellow-fire-sight.\u201d 🔥<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been following me for a while, you know I do a color-element-sense theme on the retreat. It\u2019s a simple way to bring more awareness to your surroundings. Many of us start the retreat with jet lag, so we need grounding right off the bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By our “yellow” day, we are feeling more lively, more in tune with each other and the lay of the land. There\u2019s a feeling of levity and locomotion. We know the Universe will give us (and show us) what we want. 🤩<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light catalyzes action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our powerful experiences on this day – a secret garden, hidden azulejos (blue tiles), an intimate performance of Fado with the yellow Portuguese guitar – drew us closer to our true nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That night I brought the group to a scenic spot for dinner. We were having fun, sharing stories with playful banter. Giggling ensued. We had a chatty young waiter and we liked it. Bright and light, like the swifts that swooped around us in the vibrant setting sun, we took it all in. 👀<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner we walked through the town, all lit up in the dark. At the Roman bridge, we noticed light dancing on the river. As we neared the hotel, a live band played Frampton\u2019s \u201cBaby, I Love Your Way,\u201d the sound spilling out of a corner bar. We all sang along as we strolled through the square. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the fireflies, we lit up the night. Like the moon and the stars, we shined. When I think of that night, I feel a yellow glow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel is LOVE, baby!<\/strong> 😘<\/p>\n\n\n\n
