Ready to take better control of your nervous system and make wiser decisions based on who you really want to be instead on your fears and insecurities? Perhaps you are ready get rid of a physical pain in your body that has been troubling you for a long time and had no progress although you have been visiting different experts all the time? There is no better timing to turn over a new leaf than the beginning of the New Year! Join me for this 4-day quest in order to equip yourself with practical, easy-to-use tools to incorporate in your daily life to handle the daily stressful situations in much more resourceful ways. Let me help you materialise the changes you dream of achieving!
This retreat aims at helping you better understand the fluctuations of your nervous system and its signals and how it affects your body (i.e., physical pain, injuries) and your emotions (e.g., trauma resurfacing, panic attacks). You will learn how to stop self-sabotage and how to effectively get closer to manifesting the life you are dreaming of. Here is how:
Physically intense, yet powerfully therapeutic, Forrest Yoga sequences which will create harmony in your body. Accessible for all levels.
Therapeutic hands-on assists that will bring space into your joints and make you feel more at ease in your body instead of pushing you to injury.
Daily Ceremony and Vision Quest, which will help you shed the internal noise, cleanse your energy field and prepare the fertile soil to plant the seeds of change and transformation.
Breathwork sessions that will help you influence your autonomous nervous system to function optimally.
You will learn how to turn shit into fertiliser by approaching pain, injuries, stress and emotional issues of all sorts from a place of problem-solving and embrace them as teachers. We are meant to use such learning experiences as a call for action to discover our own, unique gifts and put them into good use and be of service to humanity. I strongly believe that we are here for a higher purpose. Let me help you get more clarity on what’s yours!
