::EMBODIMENT RETREAT:
Awaken your soul in sunny cali!
MARCH 18TH - 20TH
A Message From Your Hosts:
Over the past year I have been on a mission to step out of my comfort zone, explore, and truly live this one wild and precious life we have. It has taken a lot of courage, a willingness to step into the unknown, saying yes to making difficult decisions that deep down I ultimately knew were best for my soul and living an authentic life, a willingness to showing up and doing the work, deep trust and a heart that dared to dream bigger. There has been fear, anxiety, days of feeling completely lost and defeated. My coach once told me “doubt is part of the creative process”. Although some days are tough, whether we choose to take risks and live life to the fullest or not, those difficult days are always there..they are a potent piece of the journey and human experience. Like the sun and moon, light and dark, we need the challenging and uncomfortable days in order to grow into our fullest potential.
Living life in this space over the past year has taught me a lot and brought an immense amount of growth, magic, love, gratitude and authenticity into my world. The ocean and surfing has been the epicenter of these shifts.
Our embodiment retreat is based on all that we have learned from surfing throughout this wild journey of growing, falling, living, exploring and going after life!
