Over the five days of the retreat, we each have an opportunity to meet our authentic selves and heal. While this retreat is at an uncommon location, we may not have the time to explore the surroundings, none the less you will experience the thrill of travelling inward every day. We will reacquaint ourselves with our inner selves and reignite our boundless spirit, bringing a sense of ‘play’ into our lives and the communities we nurture. We will learn to live more consciously and less compulsively and express ourselves fearlessly to create a better, joyful, fulfilling, purposeful and meaningful life full of awe, wonder and miracles for ourselves and the worlds we touch.
