How are you living your life daily?

Most days we live in auto-pilot, not being aware of how and why we are doing the things we are doing.

How do you develop more awareness to be present?
How can you live intentionally?

Do you know what do you stand for? What are your values? What is your place in this universe? Why do you do what you do?

Do you want to be more relaxed, stress-free and happier?

Do you want to have better & deeper relationships?

Learn how to meditate, how to be more present, how to be more compassionate, and how to find time for what's important.

Most importantly, learn how to be.

-----------

I want to let people know about all of the possibilities that are out there for them to grow, develop and change, and to lead a more balanced, meaningful and conscious life.

You'll learn what I put into my body to stay happy and healthy, my practices routines, and ways to stay mindful and optimistic.

I will show you how I buy all the food and products I need in a zero-waste way and tips on how you can live a more conscious life.

We will have movement and meditation sessions to bring the mind into the body and integrate the information shared.

A day of connecting and sharing you will remember.

-----------

Limited spaces to allow individual focus.

-----------

A day for your growth and development.
There will be mindful movement and yoga practices, meditations and sound journey.
Time for journaling and conversations.

Plant-based lunch, organic tea and nibbles included.
