Being nervous is normal! If you know it will create a big impact in your life, I say take that leap for yourself. The nerves are there because your body is excited for this and so much energy is rolling around within you. Lean into it and journal about it. What are you truly nervous about? A change in your life? And is the change what you have been desiring? Is it fear that is coming up? When was the last time you did something for yourself? And there is the pre-retreat call, support during the retreat and a post-retreat integration call. This isn't a one stop shop, let me go be out in nature to disconnect and come back to the world the same. If you truly want to create an impact and transformation in your life it will be available to you

The post retreat integration call is here for you to receive support after the retreat ends. I want you to know that you are supported in this deep journey and healing of yours.
