Dec 2-4, 2022 at Honor's Haven, Luxury Catskills Resort

Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for anyone overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or traumatic memories.
If you're feeling any of these, this is definitely for you:
- overwhelming anxiety, doubt and fear
- depressed, disconnected, alone
- emotional pain from heartache or lost loved ones
- things feel out of your control
- like you're missing out on life
- recent life changes
- traumatic memories that block you from feeling empowered, confident and happy
How does the healing happen?
The miracles that happen have to do with the healing energy your spirit has been waiting to bring you. My favorite part of the work is witnessing waves of unconditional self-love heal a persons body from the inside out. You are forever reconnected with your essence as the experience becomes part of who you are, you own it and can access it again and again.
I do my very best to get out of the way, to let your spirit guide me in what to say to release the old pain from your body, mind and soul. Since 1999, I’ve been working with this healing energy and learning from it. For almost 25 years I’ve been honing my ability to hear and feel your pain while listening to your spirit how to heal it.
What happens during the Healing Circle?
The group is arranged in a comfortably spaced circle. Participants can use a chair, backjack or yoga mat.
Why do we incorporate music, movement and meditation?
Music and movement help integrate the emotional transformation throughout your body and strengthen joy, confidence, and self-acceptance.
Guided Meditation helps you reconnect with a deep sense of inner peace, self-love and see a new way to respond to stress.
How will I feel when I get home?
As you release old traumas & beliefs, you'll no longer get upset by the triggers you walked in with.
Walking out the door, most people feel lighter, empowered, and confident to navigate through life effectively.
Relationships will naturally shift as you leave more secure and at peace inside your body.
Then you can open up to all the possibilities life can offer.
