“I almost didn't come, but I'm so glad I did”

Lessons from my first rest in medicine retreat - and how it's changing how I'm showing up for everything else, including Florescence.

Two years ago, I held my first Florescence circle for women in medicine. At the time, I'd been working as a 1:1 coach for medics for a while, but I was looking for ways to both broaden and deepen into this work, especially as, since attending my first retreat, I’d felt a growing pull to offer a way for more people to gather together. Knowing how busy people working in medicine are, an evening circle felt like a good starting point - one where we didn’t just gather together and drop straight in, but where we actually made a night of it, coming together for a meal in a beautiful space, first.
