Details of this retreat
Have you found it hard to tap into your joy lately? Feeling bogged down by work, life, and all the to-do lists, youʻve maybe lost creativity, spontaneity, and the ability to relax.
Join the joyful GRAVITY Founder, life coach, breathworker and sound healer, Michael Wilson, for a special spring retreat curated to spark curiosity, deepen awareness and rediscover joy. Through thought-provoking questions, guided breathwork and sound healing, and intentional movement, this multi-modal retreat will help busy professionals/parents reconnect with what your soul desires and rediscover your joy.
joyful GRAVITY is the belief that joy already exists within.
joyful GRAVITY was founded with the vision of a world where we all experience a life with more joy. Over time, our life experiences, and expectations we’ve absorbed from family, school, work, religion and society, have conditioned us to operate from a place of should and supposed to vs choice and love. The result is experiencing life with less joy than many of us would like. It takes work, but it is possible to rediscover the joy within.
Let’s drop in.
