The Benefits of Women’s Retreats A-Z: The “D”s by Janice Briggs

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Well, I guess I should start this list off with the obvious – one week of “Dolce Vita”! 

But what is “dolce vita” beyond the translation of “sweet life”?  What does it mean to you? 

If you could be anywhere of your choosing, in any circumstances,  would it change who you are?

Have you contemplated your understanding of “dolce vita”?  Translated into your words, what is dolce vita to you? Are you living it or is it just an elusive yearning?

The reality is that we create our ”dolce vita”, and once we do, it  goes everywhere with us and we find it everywhere!  It is within.

Here are a few things dolce vita means to me that begin with “D”:

dolce vita – in awe of  life

discovery of Self  and what brings meaning to life

deliberate, mindful living – savouring the moment

delicious everything

diversity and acceptance

daily gratitude journaling

daily yoga

daily meditation

develop mastery of something with a humble heart

delight in our world

Divine presence

Dare to imagine to live a large life as part of the universe, rather than of our own  microcosm.

Blessings,

wanderlust at a very early age. That is I standing (left) in front of the

small aircraft with what appears to be a somewhat reticent

companion in tow. I wish it were a clearer picture, but I think you can

tell by my confident stance that I was ready for take-off, fearless and

determined to discover the skies and what the world had to offer.  read more at  http://www.ladolcevitaretreats.com/media/newsletters/stile%20di%20dolce%20vita%20-%20la%20dolce%20vita%20retreats_%20journeys%20of%20enrichment%20for%20wom[4].pdf
