Explore Your Essence Retreat

An opportunity to shift your perspective to nurture awareness, expansion, and connection.

Just as no two fingerprints are alike, no two individuals are identical. I believe that each of us possesses a unique identity and set of values. However, the demands and distractions of daily life can cause us to lose touch with our true selves. That's why the Explore Your Essence (EYE) retreat was created—it's an opportunity to reconnect with your authentic and unique intrinsic values - your essence.

Our connection with others can only be as deep as our connection with ourselves; without understanding who we are and what we need, we can't genuinely share ourselves. Life's spectrum of emotions—from sorrow and joy to anger and wonder—leaves our hearts strong yet worn, making it essential to find that solid ground within us, a steady foundation in times of feeling unsettled.

Join our retreat to discover or reconnect with your inner essence, enhancing confidence to navigate life’s adventures and nurturing self-discovery and meaningful connection.
