In modern times, we are encouraged to keep going at all cost - rather than allow much needed, inner healing to take its course. Explore the powers that are the source of our well-being. Powers that come from inside the self and are of long term benefit: love, happiness, forgiveness, and silence. Unconditional love opens new and unlimited horizons. Happiness helps us surmount the storms and learn life’s lessons. The power of forgiveness allows us to create anew. Silence is simplicity - it creates solutions and is the way to the Divine.

We must serve ourselves in order to remain vibrant and healthy, and also to facilitate the patient’s return journey back to health – physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. This retreat is for busy health practitioners looking to re-ignite the original spirit of joy and enthusiasm that often gets diluted or distorted in the midst of everyday challenges. Co-sponsored by the Point of Life Foundation and the Brahma Kumaris.
