A Warriors Retreat – Holding the Space
This entry follows the entry of the Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men where the retreat had been canceled
I’ve just returned from the MKFacilitations Summer Retreat and had what I can only describe as an amazing time.
The formal retreat this year was canceled as many of the registered participants could not make it and so it was modified to a different kind of retreat. I spent much of my time in private meditation. Part of my time was spent in a tee-pee with another warrior and where we were asking questions and finding answers and more question around our paths.
The Location of this retreat was at Quantum Leaps Lodge (just outside of Golden, BC). The have an amazing facility and recommend it to any one looking for a quiet get away from the noise of the world. Brian and Annette are wonderful people who will accommodate almost any need you can think of. To look at what Quantum Leaps provide please visit their web-site: http://www.quantumleaps.ca/ . While I was there I spent two nights in one of the cabins (very cozy) and two nights in a tee-pee. While some may perceive the tee-pee as ‘roughing it’ it is actually quite civil. There is a kitchen with all your cooking needs met, and a shower with hot running water. The tee-pee has a fire pit in it so you can have a fire as you sleep and the beds are very comfortable and warm.
The work Allan and I did around our Warrior Paths will give an excellent basis going forward for this blog and podcast. Please visit often as I will be using my learning from this time going forward.
As for the MKFacilitations Summer retreat 2008. I’m planning to attend and preparing for this now. If this at all even interests you I recommend contacting MKFacilitations as they offer other products, including Half Day Sessions and Weekend Workshops. Attending one of these smaller events will almost certainly convince you that a week long retreat of this type of development can only be that much better.
Walk in peace,

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men
What do you do when your plans don’t pan out? I don’t know. Just recently a retreat that I had been planning to attend for the past four months and been working towards was canceled. I feel disappointed. I’ve put a great deal of energy to preparing for this and I feel let down. My initial reaction is to ask the question “Why…?”, but I’m learning that this is not a very productive question. A better question to ask is “What…?”.
I’m focusing on my belief that this cancellation is for the best and that the universe knows what I need (even if what I need is not what I want). There is an alternate plan for the time slot that I’ve scheduled for this and I’m looking forward to see what this brings.
However I’m still left disappointed and wondering what this disappointment is about. (There is my question) After all, what have I really lost? Nothing, because I never actually had anything to lose. At least not that I’m aware of.
What have I gained? Well, potentially a very different experience than what I had planned, but not the less an experience. At the very least I’ve gained an experience where I get to look at this issue surrounding plans not working out the way I had intended and I’ve been given the gift to wonder and change up my ‘Vibration’ from disappointment renewed interest.
Walk in peace,
