In this retreat you will discover how to cultivate and grow your inherent energetic capacity, regulate your energy especially in times of intensity, and identify and heal energy leaks in your physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational life.
Through exercises, solo, paired and group processes, embodiment practices and sacred rituals you will will engage in the 5 principles of Energy Mastery:
Learn to identify and free yourself from chronic tension patterns in the body which block your natural vitality, creativity, and pleasure.
Let go of “freeze”, old trauma patterns, limiting beliefs and old imprints.
Learn to bring your nervous back to equilibrium, especially in challenging situations and when triggers arise.
Examine where you spend your energy – both in terms of schedule as well as commitments in your life. Identify energy leaks, toxic relationships and learn how to establish boundaries.
Learn how to conduct energy through your body so you can enjoy life’s pleasure, face its challenges, and build the resources to turn setbacks into healthy goals.
