138. Filly’s Exhale Retreat Experience - Apathy, Touch, Mother Love & Coming Home

48 minutes

In this week’s episode, Filly talks to Chris about her recent experience at Melissa Marsden’s Exhale Retreat. Sit back, and get ready for a very “around the fire” type personal conversation as Filly shares the transformational shifts she experienced at the retreat

In today’s episode, Filly talks to Chris about:

The low-grade apathy I had been feeling for several months, in all areas of my life

Setting a clear intention to break through the apathy at the retreat, and why intentions are important to set (and how to do it)

A pivotal question that was connected to the apathy: "Where are you sacrificing yourself in order to keep the peace?"

The curated experiences - plant medicine ceremonies, sound healing, breathwork, meditation, journalling - & how they created profound breakthroughs

How I realised I had been craving “touch” and a deep “mother love”, and how by the end of the retreat I had returned back home
