RETREAT BENEFITS
RETREAT BENEFITS
On this deeply transformational retreat, through meditations and therapeutic art and writing, we will work to uncover and release these toxic emotions so you can stop hiding and radiate your own unique light into the world.
Can you imagine how empowering it would feel to finally release the shame, guilt, fear, loneliness and overwhelm you’ve been hiding?
During our time together we will use music, creative movement and dance to tap into our own spirituality, so that you can experience greater meaning during difficult times, align with your higher purpose and feel fulfilled!
Wouldn’t it be incredible to feel connected to and supported through your own spirituality?
On this retreat, with like-minded people and shared experiences, you will find a safe space to share your pain, if you choose, and you will also have time in nature to process and heal, so you can return home feeling whole and ready to move into the next phase of your life!
How freeing would it feel to heal from all the pain and trauma in your life?
During this autumn healing retreat, with healing foods and delicious time to yourself amidst the fall foliage, you will nourish your body, mind and soul so you can fill your own cup and relate to others from a place of joyful abundance.
Wouldn’t it be a relief to be able to put your own needs first and stop overextending yourself?
During our time together, through powerful group exercises and activities, you will develop friendships and experience the deep support that only other strong survivors can provide, so you can stop feeling so isolated and build your community.
Wouldn’t it be empowering if you had a tribe of people who understand and uplift you?
During this creative retreat, using therapeutic arts, you will explore the essence of your very being, so you can uncover who you once were before life changed you, gratefully release that which no longer serves you, and reclaim those beautiful parts of you that were lost!
Can you imagine the exhilaration you would feel if you rediscovered who you used to be before all the trauma you have been through?
On this retreat, through nurturing food, self-care practices, powerful forgiveness rituals and loving kindness meditations, you will learn to love yourself more fully and appreciate your unique gifts, so you can banish self-doubt and finally make the changes you have been longing to make!
Wouldn’t it feel powerful to finally feel lovable, worthy, capable, and real?
On this nourishing retreat, through nutrition consultation and beautifully crafted meals, you will be able to change your patterns of eating and find out which foods your body really needs, so you can look and feel your very best!
Wouldn’t you feel radiant when you finally lose the weight and get free of those headaches?
As we work through forgiveness exercises, creative writing and drama therapy, you will learn new tools to release anger and resentments so you can take back power and control of your life and have the confidence to be the author of your own future!
Can you imagine the confidence of being in control and taking responsibility for yourself?
On this retreat, through creative tools and unique experiences, you will be able to let go of fear, judgment, and self-limiting beliefs, so like a caterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly, you can boldly become something beautiful and new and finally soar!
Would you love to love yourself enough to completely reinvent your life without caring if anyone else approves?
