True Colors – Finding Your Authentic Voice
Each bird has a unique song that graces the woodlands with it’s beauty. So too each of us has an authentic voice and our true self longing to be expressed. Deepen the practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so you can share your most authentic self with the world. Find beauty in both being a part of something and standing alone. Use this retreat to acknowledge your authenticity and bring your Light and love into the world.
