When Rimi and her husband chose to 'Take the Leap', it didn't seem TOO difficult.  Leaving a good corporate job with a decent nest egg and opening an island retreat center in the Azores seemed relatively safe.    Everything sounds good in theory. In your living room in Massachusetts.    However, things can go south in a hurry when 'island time' and contractors and language barriers all combine into a perfect storm.  That living room feeling can seem impossibly far away.   Hard times show us who we are inside, but they can also just be SO hard to navigate, and there are many who lose their way when the chips are down. In this episode, Rimi shares her story of resilience, of reinvention of self and heart, and the power of creativity and healing that led to her development of amazing Retreats that combine nature, yoga, island cuisine and deep renewal.  Black sand beaches, hot springs, volcanic energy and local foods and fruits all work a powerful magic that she harnesses to point in a different direction for our lives, one that can have a lasting impact on all of us for generations.
