Awakening the Light Within

Women of Color Yoga Retreat

The Women of Color Yoga Retreat answers the question, “Now what?” that many women have asked themselves. This woman is in the Liminal Space. The space between “what was” and “what’s next.” She is in the place of transition or what I like to call awakening. This is who I see:

  • She is highly accomplished and educated.

  • She has secured the bag.

  • She has made a home for herself and created a Framily on which she can depend.

  • She has traveled and experienced life in amazing ways.

She still has unanswered questions and is looking for a bit more out of life. I understand how that feels and I have been there, too. I am a mother, wellness practitioner, entrepreneur, seeker of truth, and adaptor to change. My life experiences, self-development, research, and relentless spirit to recreate myself are what I hope to share with you.

This is the beginning of your journey of

Awakening the Light Within.

Be reminded of your light through excises and workshops that help you dig deep to unearth limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, and undefined boundaries. Learn grounding techniques to cleanse, heal, and recharge your mind, body, and spirit. Leave renewed, refreshed, and resolved to continue what you started.

The tools given will aid in your awakening so you can continue to shine your light when you return home. And importantly, an exclusive community is being created to provide eight months of support through online group classes, in-person events, original materials/resources, and more. 

It is your time to awaken.

Shining deep inside us all is a light of infinite wisdom and love. But due to the darkness of ignorance, fear, and ego – we can’t see its brilliance.
