New Year's Spiritual Renewal Retreat ONLINE!
(Early Bird Price Ends Tues 12/29)

End the old year and give birth to the new in a spiritually nourishing way. This retreat allows you to sink deeply into your heart’s knowing and fine-tune your life purpose and calling. Enjoy the time, space, and loving support needed to renew your connection to the ever-fresh source of divinity that is your birthright.

My annual New Year's Spiritual Renewal Retreat will not happen at Kripalu since their building is closed this season, but I decided to go with a smaller version of the retreat online!

Day Schedule:

11am-2pm EST: 1st Session:

2:30-5:30. EST: Afternoon Session;

This day will include:

Deep meditation
