Fear is a natural response and felt experience in moments when our bodies are in danger. But we also experience fear during times when our bodies are not at risk of being harmed. It can be crippling; paralyzing us from moving forward. Preventing us from functioning at our highest frequencies. Manifesting itself into anger, anxiety, overwhelm, and worry.
Fear acts to inform you of your distance from your true Self,
and from those who most love you. Discover how to step out of your fears and into who you really are and what you really want. Join us for a for a journey inward in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada.
Are you ready to bring your vision, gifts, beauty and spirit into deeper manifestation?
It’s time to Release, Reset, Retreat…
Are you ready to:
Discover yourself through movement, music, and meditation?
Release the old stories and patterns in your life?
Remember who you really are?
