THIS RETREAT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO 2026. SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWSLETTER TO BE THE FRIST TO LEARN OF NEW DATES!
Research shows there is a direct correlation between a clear sense of purpose and increased happiness and health over a lifetime. Long term change almost never results from making New Year’s resolutions, which often reflect our culture’s desire for instant gratification. But meaningful intentions organise our energy. In this concentrated retreat at the beginning of the year, we explore the important question:
How do you create intentions that align with your deeper purpose, and how do you bring them to life?
The retreat’s immersion environment will support you in the process of recognizing, deepening, and bringing your intention to life. Are you wanting to direct your energy to where it matters most? Are you ready to step closer to the life you want to be leading? This workshop will support you in understanding the different spheres that impact your wellbeing so you can move forward from an informed and empowered place. Together we will delve into tools to support long term change.
This is a community building event that can weave connections of support that we can’t yet even imagine. Your facilitators will provide a strong container for your work to unfold.
Life is precious and we want to support each other in actualizing our potential!
