AWAKEN INANNA
Inanna was an ancient Mesopotamian goddess known as the Queen of Heaven.
Inanna is known for her dual-nature; associated with love, sex, desire, and fertility, as well as war, justice, and political power. Many of her myths depict her as the enforcer of divine justice. We will look to the ambitious Inanna as we step into our own feminine power.
Our April retreat will focus on facing your shadow side to step into the light, hone in on your feminine leadership style and claim your self-confidence! It’s time to liberate every aspect of your life and drive momentum for a successful 2019!

Lakeisha Poole
Founder/CEO of Talent Karma - Creator/COO of #STEMSaturdays - Lawyer
Lakeisha who led a powerful workshop on setting healthy boundaries at our last retreat, will now lead an enhanced workshop called GET WHAT YOU WANT: COMMUNICATING BOUNDARIES. "Whether in the personal, professional or romantic context, communicating boundaries are essential in relationships. Without communicating boundaries, we give up our power, happiness and freedom to be our highest and most empowered self. So many smart ambitious and emotionally intelligent women struggle to be advocates in their relationships. Refusing to communicate boundaries is one of the primary ways we express the belief that we are not good enough and in turns leads to resentments, dissatisfaction, and anxiety."

Jessica helps women feel empowered in their lives and confident in their bodies! She believes that in order to grow, you have to let go of the thing you are attached to that is stopping you... you need is a "Mindset Makeover."
"We are such beautiful creatures, yet we can say such ugly things to ourselves. Our self-talk affects our beliefs, the way we treat ourselves, and how we show up in our lives. It is a direct line to our confidence and self-worth. In my workshop, we will create the space to look inward, recognize what our self-talk sounds like, and give this inner dialogue an upgrade so we can move forward with more love and compassion for ourselves and others." - Jessica

Joana Ayala
Sound Practitioner and Energy Healer
harmonicsoundscapes.splashthat.com
Joana believes in Sonic Ceremony and the ability to receive healing through sound.
Our modern-day voice has become replaced with a virtual presence in our tech-driven world. Often times, our real voice becomes obscured and compressed in our throats by the stress, and anxiety of our fast-paced lives. What would happen if we let the flood gates open? What would happen if we allowed ourselves to surrender to the sound within? Joana will weave retreat workshops together using song and sound as the thread - to create one unified voice.
