Zion Retreat: Ending Fear and Creating Love May 2nd - 6th 2012
This journey is an opportunity to let go fears, doubts, limiting beliefs of the past and to quiet the critical thoughts in your head. You will be recovering your personal power and reclaiming your emotional integrity. These ideas may not mean much without the experience to relate them to. So to more simply put, it means letting go of what makes you unhappy, and embracing the love that is inside of you. When you do so you begin to see possibilities for you’re your relationships and your life you previously couldn’t imagine.
Your guide through this 4-5 day intensive are Gary van Warmerdam. Gary will facilitate the experience through rituals and processes taught to him during his personal study with Don Miguel Ruiz, author of "The Four Agreements and The Mastery of Love".
Zion National Park is a place of extraordinary beauty that naturally pushes your heart to open to emotional integrity and love. 
The natural energy and beauty of Zion automatically inspires your heart to open.
When we let go of our limiting beliefs and false self images of the mind we also drop the emotions of fear those thoughts carry. Freeing your self from your mind makes it easy to align your body, mind, emotions, and Spirit in integrity. Enjoy this unique yet ancient experience in a place of amazing beauty.
