We begin this adventure of a lifetime as wide open, expansive, creative, loving, curious and innately wise little beings full of possibility, potential and optimism. But through our experience of interacting with others and the world around us we, unconsciously, wrap ourselves up in patterns of behaving and thinking which serve to protect us from the perceived risk of following that childlike energy.

No matter what stage of life we are in, we are always experiencing some sort of transition. Sometimes the transitions happen almost undetected, while other transitions can feel like a tsunami. It's possible to learn how to approach all life's transitions with ease and grace. Join me for a mindfulness based retreat to discover for yourself.

What if feeling good is not just a nice experience to have every so often. What if it is really the purpose of life?
