I was so blessed to have been able to attend Sadie Marquardt's Bellydance Retreat in Switzerland this year. If you have never attended a retreat before, you definitely should try it someday!

What made this retreat so beautiful is that you have a group of women who didn't know what to expect, some knew each other, some didn't know anyone, all ages and all nationalities, but every single one of us came with a small sliver of an idea to have a wonderful time - and that idea grew into the most beautiful experience. We all fed off of each other's positive energy and then returned that energy to each other. We spent breakfast, lunch, dinner, workshops, and free time together, yet we never got tired of it because we had become a dance family.

I know I'm not the only one who is still high in the clouds after this amazing opportunity, and I think a part of me will always be up there. I can't wait until next year, that's one thing I can say for sure!
