I am turning 50 in September. EEK! What?! How?! These are some of my thoughts followed closely by "It's time to get serious."
Serious about my own healing and growth. (Cringes inside. Did I just write that? I did. Do I mean it? I do. Does it sound pretentious? Maybe. Is it the truth? It is. Alright then, carry on.)
Since age 18 I have been drawn to and explored spirituality, healing, and transformation in different forms and modalities. Pausing on the path of self-growth from time to time, you know... to get lost in a relationship or a giant bowl of ice cream. And now it is time to move forward again.
I am raising funds to attend a healing/meditation retreat in October. It is a 2 week retreat in Northern California. The first week focuses on healing and the second week is meditation. I am familiar with this work and it is deep, intense, and powerful. Also, it can be really hard. (Are you sure you want to do this? I am. What about just having a big party featuring Llamas and a Magician? Nope.)
Each week costs $1.150, which includes everything except for travel. You can check out the school here:

If I can raise enough to attend both weeks, hooray!!!
If I can raise enough to only attend the first week, hooray!!!
If I can raise a few hundred dollars to help pay for a week, hooray!!!
If I can raise more than $3,000 to help cover the work I will be missing and pay the rent, hallelujah!!!
The first retreat starts September 29th.
As I enter this next decade I am practicing being wildly open to receiving. (Check out any of Tosha Silver's books for more on that.)
What does that look like? Launching a Gofundme for myself! (Audacious, I know!)
I am not sick. No one I love has died, recently. (Although I do have an old blind cat who refuses to die but probably will sooner than later.)
This is something I want. For me.
(Will I use what I learn to help others through my work? But, of course.)
Is it hard to ask for help?
(Oh God, yes! So hard. Vulnerable. Terrifying, etc. etc.)
And yet, here I am - asking.
If you would like to contribute a little something so this retreat experience can happen, you will be an active participant in my learning how to be wildly open to receiving.
In other words, launching this Gofundme is already a huge growing for me. You donating actual money is the next level of growth because then I have to RECEIVE it. The receiving of help brings up a whole other layer of worthiness questions but also HUGE amounts of gratitude. I cry every time a friend randomly sends me a little money. It cracks me wide open.
(And, in addition, this is an exercise in me asking for what I want and building trust that I will be okay whether I receive it or not! Dang, this goes deep.)
So, in conclusion, I'm turning 50. I want to go to a retreat so I can grow. I need some financial help to do that. Wanna donate? It will make me cry.
With buckets of gratitude and love,
Meredyth
