Open Gate Retreats
“No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside.”
– Marilyn Ferguson
In our fast-paced and sometimes unbalanced world, we need to pause, take time to escape, allowing our souls to catch up to our busy bodies, and find our inner strength, passion, and purpose.
Open Gate Retreats are designed to bring balance, perspective, and positive energy back into your life. Through discussion, life coaching, relaxation, and play, we nurture our bodies, mind and spirit. Doing this enables us to meet the challenges and messiness of our everyday lives with confidence, purpose, a renewed faith and a path to reach our goals. So many times we stand at the gates of our lives but don’t pass through. Are there areas in your life that need to be addressed to unlatch the gate and open your life back up to love, healthy relationships, peace, joy, success, and the adventures waiting for you?
Open Gates | Open Lives | Open Hearts, Minds, Hands, Homes…
This is your chance to participate in a three night getaway which will provide you with rest, renewal, encouragement, life coaching, and the tools to help you live a “Wholehearted Life.” You hold the keys to open the gates of your life… Be brave and courageous, come join us for an amazing weekend away!
