Weekend Retreat
December 5-7, Friday 6:00 pm to Sunday 4:00 pm
Creative retreat to reconstruct a healthier and more relaxed lifestyle. Maximize your performance in today's fast paced world.
Fulfillment can only come when we keep the big picture in focus, accept that all that is happening has a reason or purpose, and learn to relax from within. Learning to relax sounds easy and should come naturally, but as we start this journey we quickly notice that to truly relax requires information, understanding and practice. This workshop throws light on the quintessential wisdom of learning, loving and leading your destiny towards fulfillment.
Learn how to:
*Let go of tension and irritations
*Overcome stress from a busy schedule
*Free the self with meditation and understanding consciousness
*Develop better relationships at home and work
