About this Retreat
Laina spent 18 years in the corporate world of fashion in New York City learning about people development, business building, and achieving success in the physical world. After a trip to Nepal in 2010, she began to see life through a new lens – one of deeper meaning, purpose and value. From that point, she made a big decision – to leave the grind of the fast paced hustle in service to more meaningful and purposeful work in the world. She went back to school to receive her Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology, then a degree in Conscious, Health & Healing, along with numerous other modalities – NLP, Reiki, and more. Laina began life coaching in 2012, then began leading workshops & International retreats.
In 2019, Laina found her perfect fit at Yandara where she was able to combine her love of coaching while helping Yandara to build their retreat business – all in service to supporting others to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives and careers.
As a Spiritual Life Coach, Laina sees every person as inherently capable, worthy and special in their own unique way. She believes we are all light beings who have the answers we seek inside of us. She works with clients to help them discover their inner truth, self worth, value, purpose, and to overcome their limitations. She empowers them to evolve into the highest version of themselves, advancing in all areas of their lives using experiential processes to guide them into purpose driven action.
Details of this retreat
This training program is carefully curated to guide you in navigating the realms of human consciousness—physical, mental, emotional, subconscious, and soul. Throughout the course, you will practice living from higher consciousness through the imaginative lens of the soul. By practicing a soul-centered way of being, you’ll have the opportunity to live more from your true essence—which is love.
During the course, we will work with and embody spiritual qualities and virtues such as Compassion, Acceptance, Trust, Surrender, Abundance, Gratitude, Loving Kindness, and Joy. Upon completion, you’ll leave with a rich array of tools and perspectives across themes such as co-creation, non-duality, transcending the ego, self-forgiveness, guided visual meditations, intention-setting, and more. You’ll explore new, more uplifting and compassionate ways of relating to yourself and others. True transformation is an inside out journey. We’ll be teaching core principles and practices from both spirituality and psychology—which, at their heart, are the study of consciousness beyond the mind and into the heart and soul.
This program is held in a nurturing and loving environment, designed to support you in transforming your relationship with yourself and those around you. The work will include lessons, breakout processes, journaling, and fun activities. There will also be time for rest, reflection, and integration. A special part of the experience will be a service project (Seva) with Grupo Madre Teresa, where we will spend time off-campus preparing and delivering meals to locals in need—one of the many highlights of the course!
