Hi Karen,

I felt to reply to your post as when I was reading it, I suddenly got severe pains filling my entire sacral area.

When I returned from the La Palma retreat, I had unintentionally disconnected from my animals at home and actually felt no need for them to be in my life anymore. It was an interesting observation and something I never imagined feeling. I’ve also been exploring a sense of aloneness but am aware that I had always had animals around me to prevent me feeling alone. As it’s something I feel ready to explore, my attachment to them has begun to change.

When I returned from the Jordan retreat, neither cat nor dog recognised me, which isn’t surprising as I didn’t know who I was either.

I have also been holding the enquiry of the possibility of a rehoming of the animals at some point. One possibility has already come to light but the timing doesn’t feel right for me. Or maybe I’m more attached than I realise.

I’m blown away by your courage to just step into the painful and uncomfortableness of it all.

With love and support

Nikki 🙏💕
