The Calm and Connect WATER retreat embraces the elements of water mirrored in our personal power. Negative core beliefs especially towards self flow gently into rivers of self healing and compassion. The 7 Living Essentials philosophy unique to the Holistic Living Training Institute (HLTI) are integrated and embodied for new perspectives and responses that reflect abundant living.
The 'Water' Retreat liberates emotional energy to create deep change: transforming core beliefs and releasing emotional blocks that stand in your way.
You will be supported within a sensitive, encouraging and nurturing space that is responsive to all aspects of you. The Water element embraces the fluidity of emotions, calmness, renewal, purification and flow. Pathways for transformation incorporate holistic processes that you can take home for self-coaching and personal evolution.
Living Abundantly is reflected in how we experience day-to-day life transforming struggle into ease and flow in all aspects including relationships, health, wealth and a sense of inner peace.
As we transform our inner world our outer world shifts.
