This was an amazing spiritual retreat, and you did a great job with the transpositioning of the experience, along with the culmination of what it means to you in this blog entry.
It sounds like this retreat with what it represented was heavy in trusting the unknown intentions and/or judgements of others, and was in and of itself an integral component in the path on your healing journey to face and overcome, as much of what you have already done on your healing journey has helped prepare you for this stage on the path. It speaks loudly in the multi-dimensional sentiment of trusting the universe and letting go of the ego which binds strongly the falsities which manifest from fear of the unknown.
I found it to be really cool that this retreat incorporated so many different spiritual exercises, and that ice water dunk is a powerful spiritual driver that you and your wife handled swimmingly well.
You and your family have been doing a great job on your spiritual healing journey and I look forward to seeing your future spiritual healing milestones as well. Keep up the great work man!
Thanks man. Its been a long journey of healing so far and I am not even close to being finished on my journey. It is really cool learning all these different techniques to help ground myself and build the future I want.
