Unlock the Secrets to Achieving your Dreams! Unleash the Wise Prospering Woman in You! Don't let another year go by of just getting by. Declare your success Now. I Want You To Take Advantage of this Amazing Opportunity to EnJOY A Life-Transforming Retreat Now!
From Lotus Allen Dear Ready-for-More Woman, It's a fact of life that we all set goals, especially concerning our own health and well being (like those New Year's resolutions and exercise goals), yet sometimes find it hard to reach them because of the constant demands and responsibilities of our lives. You know what I mean -- caring for children and elders, working at our jobs, answering emails, phone calls, paying the bills, shopping for groceries, nurturing our communities, and everything else we do! Taking care of ourselves and loving our Selves -- as women, leaders and part of a collective movement toward a better future for the next generations -- has become more paramount than ever during these tumultuous, transitional times! How well do you care for your beautiful Self? How are you feeling in your body in this moment? Where are your stress and tension levels? Are you a busy professional or a sister, mother, caregiver or activist who would benefit by taking a break to step into blissful rejuvenation? Is it time for a retreat to nurture yourself and gain perspective on your path? Are you ready to increase your resiliency and capacities? Give Your Self A Gift Of Play & Fun, Deep Self-Care,
Experience a special gift of time "out of time" away from the demands and responsibilities of your everyday life. Allow your Self to be gently guided through experiential activities designed to foster transformation and deep re-connection to your inner voice and intuition, Earth's healing energies, and the wisdom of Source. This retreat will enable you to:
You're invited to join me April 8-12, 2010 at my fabulous Women's Self-Love Retreat in the Mojave Desert at Joshua Tree, California. We will gather during its spectacular spring blooming season. There will be many tropical birds in migration during warm, sunny days -- a perfect gift to look forward to after the long winter season! You will rest and renew at the Joshua Tree Retreat, Conference & Wellness Center -- a secluded, peaceful, sacred, high desert getaway where the silence is so deep, that it awakens you. Well-known architect, Lloyd Wright, in collaboration with his father, Frank Lloyd Wright, designed many of its buildings. Its 420 acres of pristine land, though desert, rests upon an aquifer, a running river, producing an intriguing magnetic effect on those who enter this ancient and sacred space. Yogananda had walked this land in earlier times. It truly is a magical place to enjoy the peaceful quiet nature of the desert, free from any telephones or worldly distractions. Accommodations are multi-occupancy in the Caravansary -- this is a perfect celebration to share with special friends! We will meet and dine in Friendship Hall. (See the Retreat Center's website link above for details and to download a brochure). If you prefer a private room, choose that option when registering below.
Camping is also available in Light Park (adjacent to Caravansary). Shower and bathrooms are made available. No hook-ups or cooking. How You Will Benefit From The
