Simplicitude™
SOUL RESTORATION WORKSHOPS & RETREATS
Seeking and Savoring...
Simplicitude
The word Simplicitude
came to me one day
as I was trying to put a word to what
I was desperately seeking in my life.
My quest for peace was elusive.
As the word emerged,
I realized that life is not about
achieving resolution, a final peace,
or even a destination
as much as learning
to be comfortable in uncertainty,
embracing the dance between
the opposing forces of our lives
finding our own balance, our courage,
and our way to navigate
through the conflict,
the chaos, and the complicated.
It's about going in...
engaging in the struggle...
being present...
discovering the meaning...
& seeking and seeing new possibilities.
Our life journey may often feel more
like a childhood game of teeter-totter,
than a level, navigable path,
yet I believe,
as we seek and savor the idea of
SIMPLICITUDE,
a natural state of being
between opposing forces occurs,
an understanding,
an honoring of what is,
balanced by the hope of what can be.

From the moment I crossed the threshold of Kristen’s space I felt a serenity I had not known I craved. She has created a safe haven where we are able to free ourselves socially, creatively, spiritually and physically. The aesthetics alone are so remarkable I could spend hours upon hours in silence and feel renewed. But it is Kristen herself that brings light to the restoration experience. Her ability to nurture without invading is refreshing and rare. She is goodness and gentleness. She is laughter and encouragement, And she has a gift for bringing people together, who have never met before, and making them feel like they’ve been related since ancient times. Thank you, Kristen!

Dear Kristen!
I just wanted to thank you for facilitating the Soul Restoration retreat. Before I got to the retreat I knew it was going to be a good experience but I didn't know it was going to be a life changing experience! You really have a beautiful gift of seeing people deep in their soul and I had never met someone with such a gift before. You taught me to really see others, trust myself, love deeper, acknowledge my journey and to forgive. I feel different... I now feel this amazing level of peace and clarity that I never thought was possible to reach and you made that happen for me! I will always be eternally grateful and will never forget this beautiful retreat. I'm so glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and took the leap of faith to attend. The forgiveness exercise that you taught me worked! I can't describe it, but there's just this feeling of inner peace that I didn't feel before the retreat. Thank you again!!

I came into Soul Restoration hoping to free myself from some past mistakes and things that had happened to me in the past. "Baggage" that I felt was holding me back and weighing me down. It exceeded all my expectations. I was treated with kindness and compassion. The environment was amazingly peaceful, beautiful, inspiring, and fun! The food and snacks were so nice. Creating art was fun and healing and has left me with beautiful and inspiring reminders of what I learned and of who I want to be.
The most amazing things I gained were a feeling of peace and of wholeness, the assurance that I am good enough and I have the power to keep going even through hard things. I feel like it doesn't matter what life throws at me, I can be happy through it. I have been able to discover a sense of what my purpose is here and I have a renewed desire to go after my dreams and fulfill my purpose and goals. I think that by taking this time for myself I have been able to be a better mom and able to give and serve those I love. I have renewed myself, not just like a mere trip or getaway would for a little bit, but truly and deeply, and I know I can listen to and take time for myself and what I need physically, spiritually and emotionally on an ongoing basis. I am already telling all my sisters, friends and family about how amazing Soul Restoration is! I can't tell you how grateful I am for the change and inspiration you have been in my life. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to associate with you and your staff!
