 being alive
A two day journey of exploration and an opportunity to be in contact with our full potential.
Healing the past and expanding our capacity of love and joy opens new pathways for experiencing awareness, balance, and deepening our relationship to self and others. As we identify and let go of limiting beliefs, our lives are enriched, allowing for spontaneous expression, growth and the direct experience of being alive.

Format |
|
| being alive is offered in a serene and nurturing retreat setting, allowing participants time for introspection and contemplative practices. Using an integrated mind/body approach with gentle inquiry we will explore our inner landscape in order to deepen understanding, connection, and compassion. Learning is facilitated through experiential activities, dialogue and mindful awareness practices - attention to breath, body sensation, and present moment experience. |
|
| Through guided imagery and inquiry we will explore meaning and passion for living as we unveil a symbol of our purpose in being. |
|
| Connecting to our essential nature, we learn that power is an inner resource. When we embrace this strength with compassion we feel truly alive. |
|
| Enhance communication. Being open and fully present we deepen the connection to ourselves and others. |
|
| Learn mindfulness practice as a skill to transform stress reactions and pain. Mindfulness practice promotes emotional balance, body regulation (relieve fight/flight stress response), and self awareness. Dealing with stress without distress frees us to experience being alive in each moment. |
