The ENLIGHTENED LIVING RETREAT

SUNSHINE COAST 18 February - 23 February 2017

Retreating into the spiritual vibration of ancient healing, join Melissa for a week of inner stillness and undergo a complete rejuvenation of body, mind and soul.

There is something so magical and powerful about retreating’ from the business of our everyday world that allows us to tap back into our inner wisdom and regain our capacity to simplify our life.

When you join the Equinox Life Coaching Enlightened Living Retreat you will have the opportunity to truly hit the pause button on your life so that you can declutter any pent-up stresses and reclaim your inner vision.

The purpose of this retreat is to detoxify the body, mind and spirit from energetic and physical toxins and create a remedy map to assist in the vibrational uplift of all areas of your life. Each day you will release sabotage from a different life area such as health, wealth, relationships, career and personal development. You will then create new dreams and visions and accompanying strategies to start powerfully manifesting your new desired outcomes.

Each day you will experience yoga specifically designed for purification. Our daily ritual comprises a one-hour yoga session and a one-hour breathwork session followed by a hypnotic release visualisation.

Each yoga practice is tailored to allow a connection with the elements of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire as we spend the day nourishing the corresponding organs, glands, meridians and emotional body with relevant vegetarian foods and herbal medicines. This intentional directed healing approach allows for deep detoxification in a very gentle and nurturing environment. It will also install a profound connection between your body and its corresponding emotions that will forge a pathway for all your future healing practices.

Alongside directional healing towards a life area and element, you will engage in a variety of spiritual practices designed to allow a transformational spiritual cleansing to take place. The physical body will also undergo daily massages with a variety of nourishing techniques, including kahuna massage, herbal massage, hot rock massage, traditional Balinese massage and aromatherapy massage. A total of five beautiful restorative massages will allow toxins to gently release.

Seldom do we truly allow ourselves the space, mental clarity and emotional nurturance to delve so deeply into our life. These six days will extend you the opportunity to cultivate personal transformation in a very peaceful and lasting way. It will allow you to focus on putting reality creation techniques into practice from a very connected place within.

The Enlightened Living Retreat will be a deepening of any earlier practices, nourishing you at a deeper level and creating more tailored routines for you to incorporate beyond the retreat space.
