If you're like most of us, life has a tendency to get crazy busy. You have things to do, places to be, and drama to deal with. Maybe you'd like to take time to explore and express creativity. Maybe you need to make the space to grieve the losses that are part of living. It can be hard when life is pulling you in so many directions. But that's when it makes the most sense to invest the time to realign your body, mind, and spirit. Retreating from your life for a day, or even for a few hours, can help you refresh and restore yourself. Join Angela in this episode as she interviews Christina Carlin about the benefits of taking soul retreats.
