Taking the L.E.A.P.

I felt the need to begin this entry on the plane while the essence of Belize still existed in my pores. As cliche as it sounds, words cannot describe the transformative energy of that island, of the people, of the food. From the moment I stepped off of the plane - I knew this would be an experience to remember.

I have been following Bree for quite some time on IG and have always resonated with her content. One thing about her - she is big on living life with intentionality. When she launched her Intention Circle, I attended. When she launched Cosmic Scents, I purchased. So of course when she launched the Leap Retreat, I booked.

I ‘met’ Bree virtually a few days after my mother’s passing. I’d signed up for her very first Intention Circle a week prior and I was really looking forward to it. When the day arrived, so much had transpired in my life that I toggled back and forth between having the strength to attend. As I was trying to make sense of what had happened, I couldn’t ignore a voice inside me that pushed me to attend anyway; man, am I happy I did! The virtual space she created felt inviting, felt comforting, and felt safe. Bree’s warm energy transcended the screen and it honestly felt soul nurturing.

​​If that hadn’t been enough, meeting her in person was even more amazing! I will never forget seeing her for the first time and both of us screaming each other’s name and giving each other a soul affirming embrace as if we were two long lost friends (actually, that’s exactly what we became!) In that moment, I knew that I was exactly where I needed to be and THAT is a memory that I will cherish forever.

The L.E.A.P. retreat was everything I didn’t know I needed. A sisterhood that one could only dream of and a space where strangers became fast friends. Bree shared her home with us and gave us a space to be unapologetically authentic. We came to a place sight unseen and believed that growth would happen here and it did. Belize gave us a chance to breathe out a collective sigh of release; we simply let go and let everything align perfectly.
