"Life Altering Experience"
Going to Rythmia was a huge leap for me. I'm a 61 year old, completely conventional guy from the Midwest. I signed up because I wanted to get my drinking under control and it had worked for a colleague. But I also knew that I had some emotional issues to deal with that were driving a range of unproductive behaviors. The experience is difficult - excavating for the source of the mask that I put on long ago is tough emotionally. Making yourself vulnerable to people you've never met before is challenging. But by the end of the week, you love these people. We were all there for different reasons, but supported each other in really beautiful ways. And by Friday, I was as light as a feather. It was an astounding transformation. It really is about identifying unhealthy emotions and dealing with their source. The ceremonies create clarity and give insight that I don't know how I would get otherwise. The staff at Rythmia could not be more helpful and supportive. It truly is a luxury resort. the spa is awesome (I had 3 massages, which is two more than I've ever had in my life). I learned the benefit of cold plunges (great mood enhancer). The food is super healthy and delicious (Costa Rican pineapple and mango are unbelievable). The speakers and facilitators are terrific. I have a lot of work left to do, but I am on a path that I did not imagined two months ago. And yes, I haven't had a drink in a month and am not missing it.
