Destiny Women's Retreats include: excellent organic meals, plenty of humour, fun, as well as a healthy amount of exercise & R&R. Come and join us on this inspiring inner quest. Let the power of your intuition and imagination lead the way to new possibilities and wonders. Reclaim your power, and be your own shining star and sparkle with self confidence.
Meditation, Guided visualizations, Chakra balancing and healing using light and sound, Aikido, Yoga, dance, drumming, singing, hiking, swimming and floating are all methods to help us reconnect to our higher selves. Of course there is also some deep inner work we will do together. Working together will teach us that we have a strong connection to the female heart that needs to be expressed and shared. Also, throughout he entire retreat humour is a regular part of our "soul diet."Humour removes fear, lightens the mind and opens the heart
to welcome and embrace new information. Also, since one factor of our mission together is
to reclaim our power, I have included several interesting concepts and definitions on www.affirmativeascension.com  regarding this subject. There are only 10 spots available. This enables intimate group work and strong group and individual connections, this also leaves time for help with personal depth of exploration.

Thursday July 02, to July 6 2009 at 10:00am. Location: 6785 B Perry\'s Back Road Winlaw BC
This is a 4 day women's retreat with emphasis on reconnecting with our souls, our inner guidance system. When we feel stressed it is generally more difficult to connect to our Higher selves, and It is much more difficult to hear our own whispering inner voices. Through daily meditation, exercise and guided visualization we return to our relaxed state. We also use the arts such as theater, song, drumming and dance to release years of stored or trapped energy. One of the most important components of Affirmative Ascension is health through the use of humor, and of course, healthy organic food, and time to appreciate nature, ie. a simple float down the lazy river. click here to Email
