As the wise <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysticvixen.com\/\"><b>woman<\/b><\/a> says, it is not a luxury, it is a need. <\/p>\n<p>The last time I went to a retreat was when I was 16. It was called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.echoofcapecod.org\/\"><b>ECHO<\/b><\/a> and was at the <a href=\"http:\/\/craigvilleretreats.org\/\"><b>Craigville Conference Center<\/b><\/a>. And while there were girls there I knew, there were also those there I didn&#8217;t. And while it was a Christ-centered retreat, it involved much storytelling, art, creativity and all around sharing as does SAW. Which makes me wonder &#8212; spirit, God, art, nature, creation&#8230;isn&#8217;t it all the same? I know the message of Squam was the same as the message of ECHO &#8212; whether we knew each other or not when we arrived, we felt the same thing when we left &#8212; one LOVE. Mmmmm, blessed synchronicity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>yep, the older I get it moves from my birth DAY, to my birthday WEEKEND, and now it&#8217;s slowly creeping up to birthday WEEK, I imagine MONTH is what follows&#8230;I love that the September Squam falls around my birthday, and now that I&#8217;ve finally gone, there is no doubt it will become an annual pilgrimage &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/?p=329\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;What I did for my birthday week&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[631],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artfoodsoul.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
