  Revealing the Divine Self
Someone once asked
Michelangelo … “How do you know what to carve from the formless mass of marble in front of you?”  Without hesitation,
he answered, “In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped
and perfect in attitude and action.
I  have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it.”

As in the marble, your true and authentic nature - your genuine and innate essence, is there, always, within you.  It is fully shaped, perfectly identified, complete and undiminished.  Take the journey to awaken your precious light, gifts and intimate relationship with life - acknowledge and embrace the joyful, passionate and creative energies of the force already  present and waiting within your being…..Shed the 'false' layers and reveal your original, divine and true self.

                                                      The Healing Force of Nature

Retreats are wonderful opportunities to spend important time away from daily life, time to be in a restful, nurturing and supportive environment surrounded by nature, allowing you to deeply relax your body, mind and spirit.  The experiences of self-exploration and growth can heighten when surrounded by the beauty and protective energy of nature. Different areas of the natural world are often inspiring and comforting and allow for freedom of the heart and spirit to contemplate deeper thoughts and feelings. Your individual relationship with nature can be an exceptional way to activate a stronger connection to your inner self. Your relationship with nature is amazingly effective in connecting head and heart.

The Retreat experience helps you consciously expand beyond restricted walls, letting your being take its place as the powerful and remarkable person you are - recognizing the true extent of your abilities and possibilities. You will explore the power of your mind and spirit and learn how to express it out in all areas of your life.  Throughout the retreat there are times for peaceful inner reflection and meditation as well as opportunities to interact with others in very relaxed and simple ways. Guided visualizations help you journey within for clarity, inner communication, self-awareness, healing and releasing.

                                      
The Healing Force of the Collective

You will have many fascinating, sometimes challenging, yet empowering and inspirational experiences with others who support you, don't judge you and will only encourage and uplift you. In this energy of understand and compassion, you will explore patterns of limiting thinking, expectations, self-judgments and identify the blocks that may prevent your moving forward and accomplishing your goals and desires. Women together are magical. When they gather together and connect their energy for the purpose of mutual support, healing and compassion, their natural, creative force is immense, immeasurable - one unmatched by any other united force.

                   
The Healing Force of Cross-cultural Healing Techniques

I utilize various cross-cultural philosophies, such as Native American, Huna, Ancient Celtic as well as other spiritual inspirations honored throughout history to the present as a means to help you work through the many issues we explore. Different indigenous cultures have extremely compelling and effective ways to successfully move through and understand fear, personal pain, guilt, inner struggles and difficult challenges of life. The exercises and various techniques used during the retreat are exceedingly powerful to help in the recognition of personal blocks - the places we feel “stuck” – often within fear, grief, guilt, the past and the process of letting go. These exercises vigorously promote your ability to tune into yourself on the conscious and subconscious levels giving you a clear and strong connection to your deeper 'knowing’.   This helps you access who you truly are so you can fully engage in the expression of that identity.The experiences through the retreat stimulate and “awaken” areas of your being that may have been asleep or inactive for some time. The time on retreat is perfect for giving yourself attention and support for this very process of awakening these areas.  This provides a means for you to bring personal power back into your life.
