How To Find A Found In Womens Spiritual Support Groups

By Gregory Scott


What is a support group? It differs based on one s religious affiliation and can be defined as determined amount of time that is spent trying to reconnect with one s spirituality as an individual and the time they have taken away from earthly and material things in order to feel closer to the deity in which they believe in. Womens spiritual support groups can take place for a few hours to even a predetermined amount of time such as a month.

There s a misconception that spritual retreats are all about prayer and repentance and it doesn t have to be the bottomline.

It s all about personal growth of the individual partaking in the retreat. The purpose of the retreat is for the individual to grow. This can be done through a number of ways and this growth is not limited to prayer. Meditation, yoga and even some forms of martial art can be considered spiritual in their nature as they promote the use of your spirit over that of the body.

Embarking on a retreat is a great way for one to unplug from technology. Be it a laptop, cellphone or even the TV. Time spent away from technology and repurposed towards the self is great for the spirit.

As mentioned prior, meditation, yoga and different forms of martial arts are a good way to get spiritual but one method that is often overlooked and very easy is dancing. Dancing is not only good for one s health but their spirit because it pushes them to be honest with themselves and let loose from all the material ties that may be on their mind in order to perform and enjoy it to the fullest. Thus giving the form itself a chance to work as a means of help.

Confidence is key or at the very least a prerequisite required to partake in a retreat. One needs to have the confidence to let go of earthly burdens such as those often found in what will people think mentalities and immerse themselves fully in the desired method chosen to assist with their retreat.

How does one know that they have been to a good retreat? More often than not it is the feeling of a sense of renewal within the individual, a new sense of strength within their belief and a strong divinity towards their faith. A sense of strength and trust towards their feelings while he/she communicates with their God.

A retreat can be done with a number of end goals in mind but what is important to keep note of is that it should be done for oneself. It should be done with the purpose of steering away from the clutter or to find a new lease on life from within.
