May 22nd to 26th, 2013 Dynamic Neural Training with Annie Hopper

The term Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s unique ability to change itself.

Impaired Limbic System function is associated with many of these so-called "mysterious" illnesses. Through using neuroplasticity promoting techniques, participants are methodically instructed in how to create positive changes in the structure and function of the limbic system.

The Dynamic Neural Retraining System represents a new paradigm in healing as we discover the link between brain function and optimal health.

This is not a quick fix program. While immediate results can happen within the 5 day training period, one must practice daily for 6 months to receive the full benefits of this revolutionary training.

If you are serious about changing your life then we would love to assist you on your journey back to recovery.

5 day all inclusive retreat price: Includes all meals and accommodation

The Dynamic Neural Retraining System is fast approaching. Annie Hopper and her team just got back from teaching a program in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Here is a short ten minute video clip of the transformation experienced by Lauren, a 56 years old woman who was suffering from extreme environmental illnesses since 1985.

May 31 and June 1, 2013 Falling into Grace with Sebastian Dudley

May 31st, 2013 – 7 to 9 PM

Join Sebastian for an evening filled with Divine Blessings. Take your place in the circle; open your palms and receive. We begin this two-day Divine engagement by opening our Hearts to the Divine Mothers Grace. Allow the energy-stream of the Divine to flood your system and restore you to a state of wellbeing and vibrational harmony. 

Event Fee: $33 Pre-registration ($40 At Door)

June 1st, 2013 - 10 AM to 6 PM

Most of us have invalidated ourselves since birth. As children we felt misplaced, unloved, unseen and unappreciated by the adults around us. We found ourselves in a reality that wasn’t capable of acknowledging the gift that we are. As a result, many of us struggle to love and accept ourselves fully.

It’s time for “An Invitation To A New Conversation”, a vibrational discourse to address these energies and drop into our natural state. This is a silent conversation that happens in the Heart on a vibrational level . Everyone is destined to awaken to the Miracle we are. It’s a Divine appointment with ourselves and it happens the moment we refrain from resisting life itself.

Sit in the Presence with Sebastian, relax and open yourself to the Divine’s Blessing. You are the answer to your own prayers. When we are willing to show up and embrace the totality of ourselves, we allow for the Miracle that we are to unfold.

As part of the 2-day retreat you will:

-Open our energy centers using the breath.
 -Move your body to allow the fixed energies to arise and be transformed.
- Be steeped in presence allowing the merging of the Divine within you

Friday/Saturday Bundle Fee: $199 Pre-registration (Includes Saturday Lunch)

Accelerated Receiving: Tapping Into the Infinite Flow of Life

Saturday, August 17th

8-hour Workshop

What’s missing in your life? Are you ready to live the life of your dreams? The real secret to creating unconditional love, abundance, health and vitality and connection to the Divine is not by setting repeated intentions, or praying for what you want. Everything your heart desires is already yours, but it’s your inability to receive that continually holds you back from the life of your dreams. By increasing your vibrational capacity to receive, you will begin to break through the density imprinted within your energetic body. Through a process of vibrational transformation, Panache begins to shatter the blockages hindering you from receiving boundless abundance.

Panache’s highly interactive day-long workshop provides the foundation you need to move out of judgments and limiting beliefs and into the fullness of your birthright—an infinite flow of possibilities.

Saturday only: $229.00

Friday and Saturday: $259.00
