Follow Your Bliss Women’s Retreat hosted by Ocala Yoga Center from 1:30PM – 4:30PM. "If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Wherever you are — if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time." Joseph Campbell. Kick-start this new year and decade with the gift of self-care as a doorway into your bliss. Have you ever experienced how short-lived a New Year’s resolution can be? An initial motivation to follow a fleeting thought infused with temporary enthusiasm for change soon to fade like a shooting star in a night’s sky. In this retreat, we will explore how to move from this kind of conceptual reformation to embodied transformation to experience the "refreshment, that life within you, all the time". Establish and nurture your connection to the innate wisdom that can function as a compass guiding you to recognize and follow your bliss. In this retreat, we will experience: easy ways to harmonize with your inner knowing, how meditation, free-flow journaling, intuitive exercises and grounding can increase your sensitivity to inner guidance, the importance and power of free-flow-movements (no prior experience needed, available to everybody), the empowering support of sisterhood. Everyone you meet holds a piece of the puzzle to the path to your bliss to live the life you ought to be living. Inspire and be inspired, join this retreat led by Kalindi Hoffmann, E-RYT500 on Saturday, January 4th from 1:30-4:30 pm. Cost is $35. Enjoy this retreat and our Vision Board Gathering (January 5th) for a special price of $40! That's right, two workshops, one amazing price!
