Guest Post by Sandra Atkinson, Retreat Attendee/Mentor & Circle Member ~ The Rainbow Serpent Recently I have been recalling my trip to Uluru (Ayers Rock), a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of Australia that takes many hours to walk around while carrying 4 litres of water. The whole area is sacred to indigenous
