Teresa Linder
Hi! I am Teresa Linder, your retreat leader and a woman who is moving into the next magical chapter of my life. I grew up in the Mountains of Northern California as the baby of 6 and learned to love the mountains, the trees and being out in nature. I have raised 4 sons; Max, Sam, Zack and Brock in partnership with Mike, my husband of 32 years. I consider the fact that I survived raising 4 boys my greatest accomplishment! Certainly, my deepest learning moments have come through raising them.
As a victim of childhood sexual trauma, I held many inaccurate and paralyzing beliefs about my value, my abilities and what I was required to do to “earn” love. I felt that it was my job to make everyone else happy and I chose to dim my light so I didn’t ruffle anyone’s feathers. I lost myself in the raising of my 4 sons because it was easier than addressing the things in my soul that caused me pain. As they aged and needed me less and less, I knew I had to find my happiness and let go of the things that no longer served me. In the course of my own healing journey, I became a certified Emotions Mentor ™, a natural-healer and an avid essential oil expert. I have found peace, a renewed belief in myself and an ability to connect to other’s stories and hearts in a profound and powerful way. I find my deepest happiness in helping people reconnect to their joy, their power and their soul’s innate goodness. I believe we are all meant to have joy, EVEN WHEN things don’t go the way we expect them to in our lives.
I love to connect with people and take part in their transformations and growth. I like to dance in the kitchen, play the piano, sing, take nature walks and ride around the ranch on the ATV’s. Watching the animal babies and loving on the horses and our Llama, Tony, brings me peace and I LOVE IT HERE!
I feel that bringing people together on retreats where they can heal past hurts and transform their lives is what I was put on this planet to do. I am deeply spiritual and believe that we are all connected to a Higher Power who knows us intimately and wants us to be happy. I’m eagerly looking forward to getting to know you on our retreat!
Marie Castello
Let me introduce you to Marie Castello, your retreat co-host. Marie is my dear friend and soul-sister. We met while living in downtown Tokyo and our children attended the same school. We are so blessed to have her on this retreat as our Yoga/Meditation instructor! She will also be instructing us on the simplicity of healthy eating.
As a certified holistic health and wellness coach, and a yoga and meditation instructor with over 20 years of practicing and studying meditation with masters like Deepak Chopra, she believes the foundation to experiencing peace of mind, true joy and happiness is in the daily practice of meditation. Marie has published her own meditations on Insight Timer. Marie teaches Chakra yoga, Yin Yoga and Kundalini and her classes focus on setting intention for the body, mind, spirit connection linked with peaceful music and calming energy.
