a week of highs and lows

Its been a big couple of weeks for me. The most difficult part was leaving my daughter Isabelle in hospital while I traipsed across the country to teach a Wu Tao teachers retreat. I did leave her in the very capable hands of her dad and my extended family, however it tugged at my heart strings and the plane trip over was a teary one. Isabelle has Rett syndrome and she caught a very nasty virus. No, not swine flu. It affected her lungs and she spent the best part of 2 weeks on LOTS of oxygen. She is a brave and courageous soul my daughter and handled it all so gracefully. She really is an inspiration to me and all who meet her.

The highlight of the week was the retreat. Held at a delightful centre in Northern NSW, Sine Cera is a natural wilderness of peace and tranquillity. Combine this with 12 extraordinary and beautiful Wu Tao instructors, 2 babies and 4 gentle men, and you have bliss. We did have bliss too. The focus of the weekend was learning the new dance, Surrender. We all shared, danced, cried and laughed our way through the 2 days, soaking up the wondrous vibes of gratitude and peace that Wu Tao brings to all.

Will post pics later so stay tuned! much love Michelle
