Within the energy medicine services offered through Birth Your Truth are three(3) distinct energy retreat offerings. Any specific dates, locations and/or additions will be communicated separately.
Personal Medicine Retreats
This one-on-one personal retreat is customized to focus on the "medicine" that lies within you as well as the "medicine" that can be brought to you. With the goal of energy alignment, whether a half day or a full day this is a purposeful "stepping stone" to further your journey. Contact margaret@birthyourtruth.com to explore the customization process that will best work on the intent to ... Birth Your Truth.
Embracing Your Path: A Retreat to Honor the Serenity, Courage and Wisdom Within You
Whether you are on your path, envision your path and/or have lost your path, this retreat will honor the serenity, courage and wisdom within you. Without aiming to impose a preference for one spiritual path or belief system over another, many of us are familiar with the following Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
SERENITY - Not doormat acceptance or stagnant complacency, but peaceful liberation.
COURAGE - Not tip-toeing by the shore, but steadfastly stepping into the water.
WISDOM - Not beating your head against the wall in hopes of seeing a shining light, but opening to embrace the light that is within you.
Birth Your Truth welcomes you. Namaste. For further information, contact margaret@birthyourtruth.com .
Womb Wisdom Gathering: A Retreat to Free the Divine Feminine Within You
The Womb Wisdom Gathering Retreat with Follow-Up Days represents a sacred opportunity and a specialized self commitment to say, "Enough. I can not, and I will not live like this anymore." It is designed for the woman for whom life after ... abortion, adoption, hysterectomony, miscarriage, stillbirth and/or rape has been quietly or loudly governed by the wounds which have been left behind. Understanding that everyone's experience is their own, if this speaks to the core of your being ... participating in a womb wisdom gathering designed to free the divine feminine within you ... is meant for you to "give voice", for you "to be heard" and for you "to release yourself" within the blessing of sacred space.
Again, Birth Your Truth welcomes you. Namaste. For further information, contact margaret@birthyourtruth.com .

Cross-Cultural Yearning ... to Be Well
The following is reprinted from the blog Well Part Coaching - LLC - Be Well and Margaret's posting therein dated October 26, 2010. Since that posting, restated below, I have continued my purposeful visits and seen the broadening of cultures as represented through their people yearning to be well.
Valuing self-care and originally following the referral of a colleague, I have become a regular patron of Spa World in Centreville, VA. Spa World is identified as a 24/7 Asian-style spa promoting health, beauty, leisure and life. All word of mouth communication that I have received references a Korean-inspired spa with a clear focus on preventive health.
While there is definitely a beautiful grounding in and relationship with Korean culture, recently shared conversation in the "Ice Poultice Room" was amongst those with heritage from the United States, the Ukraine, the Sudan and Afghanistan. It spoke to the cross-cultural significance of well-being. Wherever we are from ... whatever our ancestral roots ... we all yearn ... to be well.
To learn more, visit www.spaworldusa.com . In the interest of advance disclosure, please know that along with the unisex, fully clothed/uniformed services such as in the wonderful poultice rooms, relaxation great room, foot massage room, fitness center, restaurant and juice bar, the single gender water massage therapy and body scrub/massage services within the bade pool area require each recipient to be fully unclothed.

A Story Told - The Birth Your Truth Logo
Over a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting Natasha Smoke Santiago at the National Museum of the American Indian. Upon looking at her work, inquiring about the depictions of pregnant women and talking with her directly, I knew immediately that she was "the one" to commission for the artwork needed to represent the story of "Birth Your Truth". I was honored when Natasha accepted the request for logo design and belly fulfillment. When I consulted with her regarding the possibilities, it was an affirming experience to receive "confirmation" that she was the right choice. Her artistry touched my soul. For further information about the artwork of Natasha, visit http://www.storytellershouse.com/ .
With African, Bajan/Barbadian and Native American ancestry within her, Margaret is a woman of color who may be deemed as having an affinity to provide a tailored service within that niche. Further, although women tend to become more engaged in these processes, it is important to note that the work of Birth Your Truth is inclusive of men as well as women and is multicultural. The embracing of diversity within gender, culture and perspective is central to the work While Native American practices have always been and will no doubt always be a driving force, a workable balance of the integrity and/or integration of cultural perspectives is vital. As depicted in the logo, the focus is on birthing the truth of people from all nations - red, black,yellow and white - while accessing the heart and freeing the spirit.
