Belief + Trust + Challenges + Strength + Beauty = my life right now.

I am in final prep mode for the Picking Up the Pieces Retreat that begins in a week, here in Ojai. I am exhausted, excited, thrilled and honored to be doing this work. I am grateful for the incredible team that will help make this retreat a life-changing experience for all who attend.

And I still have a couple of spaces available.

Are you ready for your life to change? Do you feel like there’s something holding you back from being 100% yourself? Do you get in your own way when you “know better”? If you get quiet and listen to your heart, is there sadness there? Pain? A wound that won’t heal?

This retreat is for any woman, recovering from any kind of loss. It could be a death, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, an identity, a childhood that never happened. If there’s an ache in your heart, I want to help you learn how to listen to it, to grow from it, to ease it.

There is someone who believes in me, and in this work, who has offered to provide one full scholarship to the retreat. If you can get yourself here, then all the costs of the retreat are covered. Because this is about grief, I’m going to keep applications private to me and I’m going to make the final decision, along with the sponsor. It will be 100% based on what you write and how we feel when we read it and will likely be one of the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. I’m accepting applications between now and Wednesday September 21st at noon, Pacific Standard Time. The decision will be made Wednesday night and the recipient will be notified via email.

It will be a quick turnaround from finding out Wednesday night to being in Ojai on Sunday afternoon so please, before you apply, think about whether you’ll realistically be able to attend.

If you’re in, go here and fill out the form. Make sure you reference the scholarship somewhere in one of your answers. Or you can email me at alanasheeren at gmail dot com with your answers to the following questions:

1. What are you grieving?

2. How are you grieving?

3. Describe how you would like your life to change?

I look forward to hearing from you!
