“To honour your SELF, you must be willing to live in your TRUTH; for this is how you come to realize your greatness. The sacred gift of living enlightened comes from learning what it means to honour who you currently are, and to live aware of your SELF as a spiritual being. To experience your spiritual self you must be willing to become quiet – to be guided gently within – to the place of infinite calm and wisdom that has always been a part of you. ”
- Dorothy Ratusny, Retreat Facilitator
RETREAT HIGHLIGHTS & Teachings:
The journey into the SELF is a personal and intimate one. Yet as human beings we are socialized to be attentive to our outer world; to interact, and to look to our immediate environment for information and knowledge. In this retreat, you will experience the deep knowing of your 'inner wisdom' as you remove the stimuli of the outer world and go within. In the gentle practices you will be guided with loving intention to embrace and know your inner (spiritual) self, the lessons of your soul, and your true purpose.
Didactic and Experiential Sessions on: The nature of Gratitude and Self-Acceptance as a purposeful daily practice for receiving the abundance of life and what you truly desire. Learn the true connection of your energy bodies (your Chakras) to your inner wisdom and how to “run” and “clear” energy for self-healing of past emotional trauma and physical ailments. Establish the sacred principles that support what it means to truly honour your SELF and live “in your truth”. From wherever you are on your path of spiritual development, learn how to connect with the wisdom of your Highest Self (your soul consciousness). Live as your Highest Self, embodying the principles of a sacred life, and knowing your true purpose. This is how you live enlightened.
Guided Meditations & Techniques: Learn the fundamentals of meditation and the particularly effective ways that quiet the busy mind and open you to a place of silence in order to hear you inner spirit – your soul. Experience the individual YOGA postures that are specific to each Chakra - releasing blocked energy and facilitating emotional and physical healing.
