APRIL 24
“Lighting the Creative Spark”
Creativity: Limitation to Freedom
Let the music open up creative flow.
Here, you open the gates of your mind so new ideas and insights can flow in. You begin to see unlimited possibilities as life places new opportunities along your path. You feel inspired and become open to the idea that anything is possible.
MAY 29
“Leader of Leaders”
Empowerment: Fear to Courage
Find clarity and courage to make difficult decisions.
Seize the moment. Find courage and conviction to act on your inspired thoughts. You’re no longer a passenger on your life’s journey. Now, you are the engineer – empowered to build the life you’ve always wanted.
JUNE 26
“Success with Intuition”
Intuition: Separation to Connection
Know yourself. Listen to the inner voice.
As you begin to trust your instincts, your inner voice turns from a whisper in a crowded room to a feeling that’s loud and clear. The more you listen, the easier it becomes to live with authenticity. Your newfound confidence helps you form deep connections inside yourself and with others.
JULY 24
“Create Your Life’s Symphony”
Vision: Inside to Outside
Create vision. Create your life.
Uncover your passions and embrace your unique talents. Where before you may have hidden these gifts from the world, now you let your true colors shine. Like an artist, you start to shape your life into a marvelous masterpiece for the world to see.
AUGUST 9-11 RETREAT
(the last two programs are combined into a two night, three day retreat)

“Truth With Yourself”
Rest: Duality to Oneness
Resolve conflict. Find peace.
In the same way your two eyes form one image, paradoxes begin to converge into a single truth. In the stillness, your mind and body settles into a profound inner peace. This settling gives you deep insights into your core being, allowing you to resolve any inner conflict.
“Free at Last”
Wholeness: Vision to Expression
Express and inspire with abandon.
Like the wise sage coming down from the mountain, you gain immense clarity into your life’s purpose. Combining the attributes from the prior stages, you begin to live with complete freedom to express. Your true essence permeates the world, inspiring with joy and peace.
