Rediscovering Your Soul’s Masterpiece | Catriona Reed and Michele Benzamin-Miki

Week of September 14, 2019

Brain science affirms what we have known for centuries – that real change is possible; that humans are wired for unlimited creativity; that intuition is a natural gift; and that unless we transform what blocks us, we can never fulfill the promise of who we are as a unique human being.

We begin with the simple act of being present, of bearing witness – a radical act in a world of infinite distractions! It’s like learning to look with the eyes of a child again; leaning into the re-discovery and promise of your soul’s masterpiece.

Join us for this relaxed, week-long adventure, that bridges ancient mind-skills with applied neuro-science. We will guide you with meditation and trance, expanded awareness, 3 ways of befriending fear to create an enduring emotional safety-zone. Learn mindfulness of body and mind as a form of self-expression. We’ll show you a way to set the tone for the new year with an amazing process we created. We’ll even introduce elements of psycho-magic, time-shaping, and dream-work, to create a seamless tapestry of astonishingly powerful skills you can use forever.

Everything we will be sharing with you is based on a few very simple principles, aimed at helping you to tap into your soul’s masterpiece .. towards the life you want, and the world we long for.
