Led by Spring Washam
The potential exists in every human being to love without defenses or fear, so that true intimacy – direct, unobstructed, heart-to-heart connection with ourselves and others – becomes a way of life. We can learn to share, one heart to another, through the power of unconditional love. We can become more whole in ourselves so that we can be energized and empowered on our paths. Barriers to authentic connection occur due to unconscious fears that are rooted in the past. This workshop will provide safe, nurturing space to explore those fears and barriers. The workshop will include powerful interactive group processes, periods of meditation, sacred music, movement, and group discussion.
