This five day retreat in the serenity and magic of Orcas Island, will be a unique opportunity to take time out of one’s busy life and focus just on you. In these 5 days we will be learning the thirteen channeled lessons and wisdom to self-love laid out in Jo Jayson’s award winning book “Self-Love through The Sacred Feminine”
Each day we will be aligning with different aspects of the beautiful and life changing guidance of these thirteen Sacred Feminine archetypes Jo has channeled and painted. We will explore in depth these aspects of self-love and how so many of us struggle and suffer in our quest to love ourselves unconditionally. Offering love to oneself brings miracles and shifts into our lives that we can only imagine.
