?? We marked the 20th anniversary of the Koumidou Retreat Center here in Schoharie, New York with a celebration lasting three days. Around 50 people flowed in and out from morning to night for the festivities. The weather was exquisite, the company exceptional, the stories exchanged with enthusiasm and humor, and the connections renewed in long embraces. We ate, laughed, browsed through old photographs, and roasted marshmallows in the bonfire. The music from the speaker and from our conversations added a sweet note to this magical atmosphere.?

?? In the midst of life's transitions, it's normal to feel untethered, as if we're floating between the familiar past and an unclear future. These times, though challenging, are ripe with the potential for growth and transformation. During these uncertain periods, remember that it's okay not to have all the answers. Allow yourself the space to explore, to breathe, and to find your footing again. With each passing moment, the fog of uncertainty will begin to lift, revealing new paths and possibilities. Hang in there. You're not alone in this journey. Embrace the process of becoming, and trust that you're moving toward a future filled with clarity and opportunity. #koumidouretreats #yolandakoumidou #selfhelp #therapy #couples #retreats #relationships #selfcare

?? Happy Mother's Day! ?? Today, we celebrate the incredible women who have nurtured, taught, and loved us. Whether you are a mother, stepmother, grandmother, aunt, or a maternal figure in someone’s life, your impact is immeasurable and cherished. Here’s to celebrating you, today and every day, for the love and light you bring. #koumidouretreats #yolandakoumidou #selfhelp #therapy #couples #retreats #relationships #selfcare #mothersday

?? Mothering is a complex, multifaceted experience that shapes us in profound ways. Each of us experiences it differently, even within the same family. Recognize that these diverse experiences, whether nurturing or challenging, have contributed uniquely to our growth. Our mothers, shaped by their own histories and limitations, could not always provide perfectly. Understanding and accepting these imperfections allows us to see their efforts and sacrifices with empathy and grace. Look back and cherish the positive aspects of mothering you received. The smallest gestures often hold the deepest love and intention. Shift your focus from what was lacking to the care you did receive. Embrace this as a foundation for gratitude and peace, allowing you to move forward with a healed and open heart. #koumidouretreats #yolandakoumidou #selfhelp #therapy #couples #retreats #relationships #selfcare #mothersday

?? Reflecting deeply on the nature of our emotional responses to unmet expectations is an important skill to nurture. Needs are essential for our emotional and physical well-being—they are the foundation of a healthy life. When these are neglected, it leads to a profound sadness that can permeate our essence, subtly eroding our joy and vitality. On the other hand, wants are desires that, while they can bring joy and satisfaction, lead to feelings of disappointment and frustration when unfulfilled. These emotions, although intense, are often more surface-level and transient. Understanding this distinction can profoundly affect how we view our lives and interact with the world. It encourages us to prioritize our needs, recognizing that while it's natural to desire many things, nurturing our fundamental needs is crucial for lasting happiness and emotional stability. Let your actions be driven by your deepest needs instead of your fleeting wants. Our retreats are designed to help you identify and nurture these needs—whether it's the need for rest, understanding, or emotional release. #yolandakoumidou #koumidouretreats #relationshipgoals #selfhelp #therapy #couples #retreats #relationships
