February 8 & 9, 2020

Part One

Empowering creation

Living with Purpose

Through a process of uncovering your true purpose and deepest desires, you are guided to take the first steps to set everything in motion to manifest the life your heart is yearning to live.

What if you could make 2020 a year to remember?

Typically at the beginning of a new year we all make New Year’s resolutions. Things we feel that need a change, things that were not really working for us in the past year, things we want to bring into our lives. And typically we are very convinced and passionate about those resolutions for the first few weeks of the new year and then, unnoticeably at first, they start to move to the background, life takes over, and before we know these resolutions are gone and we don’t know how to find the energy to bring them back.

Sounds familiar? Well, how about in 2020 you are going to do things differently? How about defining and setting New Year’s resolutions that are grounded in your being and set up so powerfully that they stick with you? How about finding such deep completion with your past year(s) that their energy no longer lingers and threatens to take over? How about signing up for our Empowering Creation Retreat and changing your life for good?

Following the unique Essence of Being concept of moving through the Medicine Wheel, this retreat takes place in the direction of the North, the place of winter, of wisdom, of understanding, and powerful knowing. Over the course of two days, different activities will guide us through the four directions to complete the cycle of life, empowering the creation of our year 2020. It is this connection that will allow us to step into our destiny of powerful creator and set us up for success.

Activities include: Meditations, creating our “creative Heart Statement”, brainstorming and journaling, introduction to and creating the Medicine Wheel together, creating our personal vision board.

Make 2020 a year to remember and join us the weekend of February 8-9, 2020 to create your life and make it happen.
