Find Your Fire

I love workshops, conferences or going to see inspiring talks. Anything that is going to elevate my thoughts and teach me something new. Last year there was a retreat at North Stradbroke Island. On my facebook page I could see a awesome bunch of women who had signed up and were attending (barefoot business women). The retreat was being held by a couple that I had briefly met and was a little in awe of Kurek & Erin Ashley. I really wanted to go and participate. I couldn’t see it happening. It wasn’t in the budget. It was actually the 2nd time this retreat had come on my radar. I imagined what it would be like. I thought about it for some time. I really wanted to go, but I had to let it go. Next time.

But the universe had a plan for me. A few days before the retreat I woke up to a message from Erin Ashley. Asking me if I would come over to the event as the photographer, and that I had free reign to participate in the activities. I couldn’t believe it. So within a few days I was on the ferry travelling over to North Stradbroke as the paid official photographer and willing participant in Find Your Fire retreat. A mindset and inspirational retreat that has you fire walking and facing up to your fears and limiting beliefs.

Everyone on the retreat was on the same page. All wanting to stretch themselves, all striving to be better then yesterday and all learning how to lift their thought, beliefs and vibration.

During one of the breaks one day Kurek, Erin and I headed to the beach for a quick 20 minute photoshoot. I loved the results. These wonderful human beings are what I call an “awakened couple”. They have an expansive mindset and I really feel that shines through in the photographs.

I had my own awakening moment during the retreat. After I had photographed all the participants walking barefoot through the burning hot coals it was my time to do it. I placed trust in myself that I could do it. Did I feel fear? Hell yeah, but I was determined to move through it. As soon as my feet touched the coals I had the clearest realisation………It is all in your head.

What holds you back the most in life is your SELF. Your thoughts, your beliefs, your habits, your patterns, your predictions. If you can place trust in yourself and your own abilities without projecting negative outcomes, those negatives outcomes are less likely to happen.

Kurek encouraged us to develop our own daily mantra. This is mine.

I am grateful

I am worthy of all my goals and dreams

I am a Fire walker

I am unstoppable

I am an in demand photographer

I am healthy and wealthy

I am kindness

I am full of love

I am perfectly myself.

I can’t recommend this retreat enough. It is awesome. The next one is March 6th - 9th. 2020. Is it time to FIND YOUR FIRE
