Cultivating the Essential You

A MYSTICAL JOURNEY TO REMEMBER AND RECLAIM YOUR ESSENCE

Essence (n) - the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something that determines its character. 
Synonyms: soul, spirit, ethos 

This five-day, transformational journey is designed to connect you with the essence of your being—the part of you that is intrinsic and indispensable. 

In a world of disconnect and exhaustion, it can be difficult to stay oriented to your purpose and the parts of your life that create light, passion, and inspiration. Many of us are experiencing burnout, exhaustion, and disenchantment from the constant stream of news and social media, and it can be difficult to remain clear and focused.  

Through yoga, sound healing, dance, journaling, meditation, and more, you’ll experience: 

• Group vision journeys to your higher wisdom  
• A deep connection to yourself, others, spirit, and the natural world  
• Ways to craft a clear path forward to stay connected to your nourishing practice

Led by Kripalu's creative visionaries, this program is an invitation for all on the path of healing, liberation, and service. Return home feeling restored and connected, with a deep trust that you have the personal and spiritual resources to move forward in your everyday life.  

NOTE Please bring a sacred item to place on an altar we will cocreate together.
