"JOURNEY BACK TO YOUR HEART" RETREAT

Fort Lauderdale is Waiting for You

If you haven’t experienced Fort Lauderdale Beach in March, now is the perfect opportunity! We will be staying at a newly renovated boutique hotel in Fort Lauderdale Beach. The ocean is just one block away! This boutique hotel is very special. All the rooms have recently been remodeled and the property is at the heart of North Beach Village. Here you will find shops, bakeries, and restaurants just footsteps away from the hotel. I’ve blocked off some rooms with a discount for all of you! The hotel is a quick uber ride from the Fort Lauderdale airport.
I’ve purposely kept the group small for this retreat so that we can create intimate connections with one another. Being part of a community is so important in so many ways. Historically and scientifically, humans have thrived when they are a part of a group. It promotes a sense of belonging, promotes social interaction, as well as emotional support. Couldn’t we all benefit from that? I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “It’s always better together”. I couldn’t agree more!
There will be a learning portion as part of this experience. We’ll have collaborative group sessions to cultivate the connection with yourself. We’ll openly share stories, draw, learn breath exercises, all while supporting one another, and learning tools of empowerment to live a purposeful and joyful life. Let’s build our own community, embracing and uplifting one another and expanding our hearts, our minds, and our circle!
Our meeting place will be on the second floor in Penthouse #1 at the North Beach Village Hotel. This is a large loft with ample space and a large outdoor patio suited for gathering, dining, and socializing. We’ll rendezvous here for our meet and greets, our learning talks, breakfasts, one dinner, yoga on the patio, breathwork, and a soothing sound bath. (Detailed program is below). I’ve curated healthy yet delectable meals. Breakfast and dinners are included. Breakfasts will be prepared by Archibald’s Village Bakery. Their English baked goods are unique and yummy! They’re right in the neighborhood! Dinner on the first night will be served family style and catered by Greek Islands Taverna, another local, family owned restaurant serving authentic and delicious Greek food since 1999! On the second night, we’ll walk to La Fuga, a remarkable local Italian restaurant. They are only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Trust me when I say that March is the perfect time to come to Fort Lauderdale. The weather allows for pleasant walks outdoors. **Plant based options will be available**. When you sign up, I’ll send you a quick questionnaire for your food preferences and for food allergies as well.

The Meaning Behind “Journey Back to Your Heart”

The Shesho’s structure of this empowering weekend consists of 5 affirmations. The letters of the affirmations add to 32 letters. 3 + 2 = 5. In numerology, number 5 represents curiosity and the need for adventure and exploration. It represents change, flexibility, and transformation. The number 5 surfaced as a principal character of this retreat. The name of this retreat has 5 words. You will see how our activities actualize these affirmations.
  • FEEL IT (6 letters)
  • SEE IT (5 letters)
  • DECLARE IT (9 letters)
  • LIVE IT (6 letters)
  • LOVE IT (6 letters)
  • TOTAL 32 letters. 3 + 2 = 5

I’ve invited a couple of my friends to bring their specialties & professionalism to this sensational weeknd to share their knowledge with you. I want to give you an elevated experience.

RETREAT ACTIVITIES

Have you experienced a sunrise at Fort Lauderdale Beach? It’s truly magical. We’ll have 2 mornings to reconnect with the earth as we salute the sun early mornings with meditation on the beach. As we settle directly on the sand, we will neutralize our energy while expanding our hearts with gratitude. Our senses will brim with majestic sounds of the ocean waves and ocean breeze, filling our souls peace. FEEL the connection to yourself.

FEEL IT

Connect to yourself. Explore different avenues to find a deeper connection.

  • Storytelling with Karla Perez- We will begin with your story first! Sharing your story with a group of people who are there for the same reasons as you will leave you with a sense of relief. Take comfort in being a part of a group who is there to support one another. Be ready to share why you are here and what you want to take home with you after the weekend. Releasing as you verbalize your story, will empower you.
  • Grounding to the earth with Karla Perez and Punnasa Tongkiew- As we sit on the sand for early morning meditation on the beach, we will neutralize your energy and recharge the body, mind, and spirit with high vibes of gratitude and love. Punnasa will perform Reiki over the group as we sit in silence watching the sunrise.
  • Yoga with Karla Perez- In the practice of yoga, you slow down your breath, as you move through yoga poses. Slowing down the breath and syncing the poses with the breath allows you to naturally relax and find a peaceful state that stays with you throughout your day, your weeks, and your life. Get ready to activate and stretch your body with a 1 hour yoga practice in the mornings. All levels welcome. If you’ve never practiced yoga, here’s your opportunity to try it! Don’t shy away from it. We all started on day one of our yoga journey. You may find something that you love!
  • Heart Opening breath practice with Caryn Pritchett- Take 30 minutes to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to relieve stress, anxiety, and find relaxation. Take a guided breathwork session to open your heart and leave you feeling blissfully peaceful.

SEE IT

Identify Your Inner Self through a Flower Energy Reading session with Nessa. This practice comes from Thailand.

  • Become an artist. Connect to universal consciousness; to your higher self. This art piece comes from within you. Get ready to take part in an out of the box, creative workshop! Learn to tap into your own energy through guided meditation. Express what you see through a flower drawing. Nessa will explain the meaning of your drawing. You don’t have to have any artistic skill to do it. To channel your energy we’ll use colored pencils to draw what you see. Learn about where you find yourself today by reading your drawing and learn how to shift the energy towards where you want to be.
