Join international bestselling author Blake D. Bauer for a weekend that will offer you a safe environment to address your core fears, transform negative thinking, and find clarity around shaping the life and health you want. The retreat will offer connection and support while you heal your habits of self-harm and self-betrayal during this unprecedented time.

Beyond Suffering

Throughout the program, you will discover why suffering such as anxiety, depression, addiction, illness, and relationship problems are logical cries from your body, soul, and subconscious mind asking you to finally value, accept, forgive, honor, and be true to yourself in the present. Now more than ever we need to understand exactly how to find our center and how to care for our mental and emotional health in very grounded and practical ways. In support of this, the weekend will also include mindfulness meditation and qi gong healing exercises that are designed to unlock the stuck energy, blood, and emotion that is keeping you unhappy, sick, or trapped.

This in-depth experience will help you understand how to stop hurting yourself, how to trust yourself, how to feel worthy, and how to finally enjoy your life without regret and without feeling guilty for wanting to be happy, well, and loved.
