Experiencing Life Creatively: Journey to Inner Healing
Sat 25 - Mon 27 April 2015 (3 days)
with Joy and Leela
Experiencing your Life Creatively and understanding your unique journey will gift you with serene acceptance of what has been, and the ability to live in present awareness with the light-hearted joy of Being. This process is the gift we give ourselves - to make sense of this Amazing Life! Revive body, mind and soul as you work in alignment with your inner compass. This work is transformational and inspiring. We bring this retreat workshop to you with great love and humility for the benefit that it allows.
This Life Journey is filled with experiences - some that we cherish and some that leave us feeling overwhelmed, depressed, in pain and doubt. No life is without aspects that challenge us, yet there are those that survive, and even seem to thrive amidst the many pressures and life stresses. How is it that some people manage their life, despite adversity and challenges? Our uniqueness, ingenuity and creativeness allows us to interpret the meaning of our Life Journey. When we learn how to tap into our Inner Resources we find the Resiliency of our Soul.
If you are ready to untangle your life and make sense of the journey, de-stress and re-align with your life purpose, then you are invited to this special workshop. You will find many answers and you will learn skills that will give you the confidence to manage your life in a more pleasing way. This weekend will empower you to begin making changes that will enable you to live a more relaxed, happy, authentic and fulfilled life, regardless of your life situation.

Chorus:
Though I may not know the answers I can finally say I am free. If the questions led me here then I am who I was born to be ... |
When I was a child
I could see the wind in the trees and I heard a song in the breeze it was there singing out my name. But I'm not a girl anymore I've known the taste of defeat I've finally grown to believe it will all come around again. Chorus ... So here am I, open arms and ready to stand I've got the world in my hands And it feels like my turn to fly. Chorus ... When I was a child there were flowers that bloomed in the night unafraid to take in the light unashamed to have braved the dark. Chorus ... |
