Accommodations Included 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.

Accommodations are in the lovely Caravansary -- this is a perfect celebration to share with special friends! We will meet and dine in Friendship Hall.

Feel Re-energized, Inspired And More Joy-full With SARK While You Learn Creative Solutions For Current Challenges, Plus Juicy Practices to Apply Exquisite Self-Care
How well and often do you love yourself? Are you your own best friend? How kindly and exquisitely do you tend to your own soul? Your answers to these questions may reveal an opportunity to practice more self-love. In SARK's Self-Loving Festival of Lounging and Liberation, you will begin a life-long practice of deeply loving yourself, no matter what circumstances have happened. To truly love and be friends with others, we must practice loving ourselves well and fully on a daily basis. SARK will show you how to become the most marvelous friend to yourself first. As you expand your experiences of self-love, you'll observe that you're more available and loving to friends and family too. Your own inside well will be so full of love, that you'll just naturally share the overflow. Practicing self-friendship and love also means tending to, and being present for the the times you don't feel positive or self-loving at all. SARK will show you how to find your broken places and gain strength there too by practicing looking into your shadows (you can use a flashlight) and becoming aware of how to best care for yourself during those times also. You'll experience loving yourself unconditionally more often. You will turn your wide heart and loving eyes towards yourself and awaken what you already know: You are Seen, You are Known, You are Loved. In this fun and deep workshop, you will receive and experience:
