This week, we sit back while we chill out in Dawn's backyard and talk about the upcoming FEMpowered You Retreat plan and vision. What is this retreat? It’s a way for women to get out of their minds, and into their bodies, hearts, and souls. A way to tune in to that voice within that maybe the outer voices have drowned out. It’s to help them get back in touch with their intuition - something most women have been called crazy - or worse - for when they followed it or talked about it with others. It’s going to give them techniques and tools to help them tune into their intuition, and even more importantly to listen and follow it, even when it doesn’t make sense. We do this through art and embodiment exercises during our time together. We teach you grounding techniques, help you clear your top 5 negative emotions so you can start with a clean slate, and show you ways to build your confidence in your own thoughts and feelings so you feel more comfortable listening to your own wise inner self. We show you how to start loving yourself more and maybe even more importantly, WHAT this even means. We give you both the practical and the more intangible, heart-led guidance to find the ways that work best for you. We have packed so much value into this retreat, that we know the discount price we are offering is well below the value and support you will receive. Some of the things this retreat will offer: • 4 full retreat days: • 3 days full of workshops (2 per day) incorporating art, NLP, embodiment, breathwork, and other healing modalities • Day 4 - Integration day with 3:1 individual coaching • A beautiful AirBnB for all retreat participants, complete with a swimming pool • All breakfast, lunch, and snacks • Dinner cruise • Sound bath on the beach • Morning and evening circle activities • Fellowship and communion with like-minded women Join us here and use discount code TRIBEPOWER for our very special rate for you!
