Would you benefit from a dedicated space to renew and reflect?

As we enter the time of loving others, may we have dedicated space to connect to deep self-connection and love for ourselves. We invite you to join us in tuning inward, away from distractions, and re-engaging with your inner self more profoundly. We will explore clearing a space, background feelings, and how we might bring this awareness in this upcoming season.

Open to all healing professionals and anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding and application of Clearing a Space.

Ann Weiser Cornell
As these uncertain times continue to challenge us in unprecedented ways, our need for connection and emotional support is greater than ever.

This is a 30-minute free webinar (with Ann Weiser Cornell) with warm, positive tips for emotional self-care in these challenging times. Each month is different as Ann responds to the present moment and whatever the group is bringing.

Our hope is that you’ll leave the webinar with a greater sense of resilience and some relief from the stressful feelings you might be having. And that you’ll know you are not alone.

In many relationships there may be a lot of compatibility and attraction but there are certain topics that just become taboo.
