Individual Residential Intensives

Upcoming Retreats:

Four-Day Residential Retreat
Intensive Trainings for Individuals –
The End of Working on Yourself

Overview

These residential trainings provide a unique opportunity to take time out from the daily demands of life and focus solely on learning what brings out the best in you. Through dialogue and reflection you come to learn what allows you to tap into your innate resources for well being, creativity, common sense and wisdom; why you make good choices when you do and how you know when you’re making them; how you know when you’re on track with your life direction and what allows you to lean into your life choices.

When you begin to understand Thought as a principle, it frees you from trying to work on your thoughts, make negative thoughts into positive ones, or motivate yourself to try to have a good attitude. Once understood, people find that unwanted Thought has no affect on them; it passes on its own, allowing for more productive mental states to arise. This frees up a lot of energy that people previously used to work on themselves for more creative and enjoyable uses of the mind.

Takeaways

  • More frequent and regular access to states of mind that allow for experiences of well being

  • An understanding of what generates “flow” states and how you are able to live and work from a flow state of mind

  • The ability to have fresh ideas, inspiration and creativity

  • A sense of purposefulness or being on track with life

During the Intensive, depths were awoken in me that decades of working on myself, therapy and spiritual practices had never touched. I got my life back. My work and my marriage continue to become richer, more purposeful and more satisfying. This approach is truly different, both in its simplicity and in its profound impact.”

Dear Margaret -

The individual retreats are scheduled when I have my next opening that you can make. I’d rather discuss these intensives with you directly than e-mail about them. Feel free to call me at 508-560-3206 EST and we can talk more about what’s covered, cost and what it includes.

All the best -

Dear Pam -

The four-day intensive is tailored to meet the need of individuals and couples. It is an awakening process that allows you to become more grounded in your own innate mental and spiritual health and well being, and to gain insights into mental habits that get in your way. From there you use the intensive to meet your individual needs. Please feel free to e-mail me at annika@optimaliving.net if you would like more information.
