''To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor because it blooms up above.''
- Fernando Pessoa

Energy
YOGA, MEDITATION, COACHING CIRCLE
Each day we will set the tone and build a container for creativity and inner exploration. Beginning with a 45-minute yoga session designed to unlock your energy and flow followed by 15-minutes of meditation. This is designed to leverage brainwave entrainment and prepare our subconscious to a place of calm, receptive to build new neuropathways for creativity. The coaching circle will offer time to regroup and connect to set individual and collective intentions.
'''Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.''
