Join us in this rare opportunity to receive teachings, practices, sound medicine, and sacred forest walk with highly esteemed Master Kundalini Teacher, Hari Kaur, Jennifer Drue, and Stefanie Frank.
The summer is here now and gone so soon.
The heart is considered the space of time and rhythm; now marking the time of this summer season, our heart is singing a pulsing summer song. No matter the season or circumstances, the heart keeps singing. Opening up to the heart’s gifts of kindness, compassion, and possibility can bring relief from the stress that cloaks joy. Let’s enjoy nature together and welcome the joy of a calm heart in this sweet getaway.
