WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
In order to live our best lives, we need to embrace each day with awareness, acceptance, and gratitude. Too often, we attach stories to our experiences, draw comparisons, or seek to control external situations. Other times we miss out on the magic of our current situations by being consumed by guilt and regret of things past, or fear and anxiety about the future. We fail to listen to, honor, and care for our bodies while we live primarily in our “thoughts.” We forget our origins and our place in the natural world by interacting solely in artificial or digital environments.
Participants in this five hour retreat will learn scientifically proven strategies for optimal living through the following modalities:
