The Activation and Visioning of All Working Together as One
c
Join us for a
weekend of spiritual, emotional, and physical healing
practices designed to open your higher energy centers and
flow more light into the body. Teachings and healing practices are
designed to rejuvenate the body-mind continuum as we work and play
together as one.
We are here to create a reality of All As One yet it is the individual
creation that gains the power of upliftment and adds to the power of
the manifestation of the collective. This weekend (with an optional
extended stay) is designed for deep exploration and regeneration as we
dive into the truest part of the Self and come out on the other side
with a clear connection to your heart's desire. This will include the
self-discovery of how you wish to live, and the commitment you will be
called to make, including the action steps for living out your soul 's
path and purpose as you manifest your own special brand of joy in the
world.
Healers
Helping Healers Transform
Within
the crystalline grid known only through one's imagined heart
space, there exists the knowing that all is well. This knowing comes to
us as a feeling or sensing of our soul in a human body. With patience
and care, you can tap into and embrace that timeless aspect of yourself
through high-frequency transmissions and the practice of holding
oneself and others in high states of appreciation. Once you have
received the gift of your very own self, the rest is simple but not
necessarily easy!
By
co-creating the vibrational environment that allows you to let go
and fall into the flow of the Divine is key to finding this alignment
within you. Once you do, you will find that the choices that present
themselves to you are met with a different set of answers. Given a
difference choice, you will begin to create a more joyful flow in your
life.
Foundational practices include:
- The
Power of Intention

During our time together,
we will set our intention
for the allowing of
all that is to be made manifest in our lives
in
the awareness of love,
harmony and the power of creation.
Will
you come play?
Purpose
To
shift your awareness of who you are so completely that you become
that.
The
Light Being that you are is aware of an inner flow, a fluidity of
movement that knows now boundaries. The mind calculates. The heart
expands. Yet the two together, working together as one, create a flow
that moves like water. Water is the most powerful force on the
planet.While fluid in its movement, it also follows the path of least
resistance. Yet, over time, it force can cut through rock and forge
great river valleys.
Through music and word we will
open a portal of light which allows you
to travel between the dimensions and connect fully to your highest
expression. The play between the music and
spoken word acts as a beacon to call
angelic and devic beings as well as master teachers and guides to help
on individual and group levels.
The
portal expands and becomes a column of light reaching out to the
earth grid and beyond, channelling light and love throughout the
dimensions. Participants experience not
only their own healing, clearing and
transformation, but also contribute to the upliftment of the earth in
its evolutionary process.
What You will learn:
During
our time together, we will weave a vibrational dance
that will dramatically shift your reality and
awaken you to your soul's purpose. This
deep-immersion experience will provide you with proven practical
tools to:
unify
the field of light that separates the soul from the body; gain
access to the innate wisdom that guides you; know
what's real and what is illusion; harness
the power, the force of light. that guides everyone,
everything, everywhere; allow
this force to flow freely through your life, and to manifest as
you so desire; become
one with this force for the transformational practices of grace
in action;
and
to
teach this flow to others by living it, being it, creating within it!
We
are here to understand and to use the power of heart to cut through
any earthbound obstacle, to forge new awareness of Light and create
entirely new ways of being simply by being what we desire.
The
Lotus Conference Center is located on 750 acres of tranquil
