Location: Nags Head North Carolina.
We will spend the week in a beautiful vacation home on the beach (click for pictures) in Nags Head. Nags Head is located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Retreat Focus: Your Happiness
It is a personal intensive in change. There will be a mixture of classes, meditation, exercises in letting go of emotional issues, identifying and changing core beliefs, developing control over your attention and recovering personal will power. There will likely also be time for yoga and other activities. We will take advantage of the surrounding beauty of nature as the weather permits. The format is flexible however the intent is focused and unbending: Empty your mind of false beliefs and your body of toxic emotions and then filling up with truth and love.
In last years intensive we delved into issues of relationships, family history, self worth, emotional mastery, letting go of the past, recovering will power, beliefs about our body, food, exercise, and issues with religion just to name a few.
We will also spend time during the week delving into relationship issues. We will use relationships as a means to better understand our self and detaching from beliefs that cause us emotional drama. You can use the tools and exercises and apply them to family or people at work as well. Within the topic of relationships it is still about you. What are doing? How are you behaving? What emotions are you creating and feeling? Because relationships bring up our emotional issues they are an excellent opportunity to identify the core beliefs that are causing us drama.
This is not a workshop specifically for couples. The reason there is a special rate for "couples" is because of the number of king and queen beds in the beach house. Practices and activities through out the week are for individuals, and yet are always strengthened when practiced with a partner.
A few thoughts about this event. I was very happy with the way the Outer Banks Retreat went last year. So much so that I am doing it again. We had pretty cold weather last year and put a limit on outdoor activities. However this turned into an advantage because we turned our attention intently inward on the beliefs and emotions we wanted to change. The result were great with people moving through a lot of limiting beliefs and emotions in a short time. People were grateful for the closely focused activities, the results, and camaraderie of peers, that resulted.

The Daily Schedule: At present, we plan for exercise walking on the beach weather permitting. There will be focused personal work in morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. We also plan for people to have some personal time in the afternoon and evening after meals. Some afternoons may include outings to the local area. The intent for these outings might be for play and relaxation , or for ceremony and meditation. All plans are subject to change. So much like life, flexibility is the plan.
