Wisdom & Wellbeing- Intensive Week 9 Annette Knopp & David Ellzey

LIVING IN THE OPEN FLOW OF LIFE

During week 9 you will have an in-depth workshop with Annette Knopp & David Ellzey. Enjoy a rich schedule with classes during the day and head to the beach in your free time.

LIVING IN THE OPEN FLOW OF LIFE

What if you could uncover a natural ease, love, and wakefulness that empowers you to live deeply grounded in who you essentially are? Commonly we suffer because we don’t trust that who we are is already enough. Neuroscience says our brain often misinterprets adversity or trauma as meaning that “we” are at fault, inadequate, or unlovable. In this week you will learn contemporary tools and ancient ways to gently untangle this mistaken self-perception and restore a profound wholeness and connection with all of life.

More about this retreat

In this highly experiential week, we explore how to compassionately undo and heal our mistaken self-perceptions to reveal a more liberating and empowering self-knowing. Drawing from an integrative approach, we will learn and engage in:

– Somatic Inquiry
– Ways of deeply Letting Go
– Meditation & Relaxing into Stillness
– Sacred Breath Work
– Neural Practices for Self- & Co-regulation
– Inner Parts-Work
– Conscious Movement

Before our group sessions, there will be 7-8am daily yoga or qi gong for all levels and bodies (optional attendance). Also, during your free time you may continue to unwind habitual constrictions in the pristine presence of surrounding nature, enjoy Blue Spirit’s quiet beach, swim in the Ocean or the saltwater infinity pool, and be nourished by Blue Spirit’s deliciously nutritious cuisine. There is also the option to book individual bodywork sessions or revitalizing treatments at the Longevity Center.

You will go home with a clear understanding and time-tested tools to continue your awakening journey in life’s open flow. We are looking forward to meeting you, precious one, and having you in our midst!
