SOULFUL CONNECTIONS FRIENDSHIP RETREAT

Exploring the Path of Friendship and Growth

 

DISCOVERY

A time to delve into the mystical, magical, and liminal space with an intimate group of friends.

DEEPENING

A safe and ritualized container to share places in need of support and to receive loving feedback from those who hold your heart in reverence and respect..

DEVOTION

A time to honor and be honored with heartfelt reflections, visions and praise for each friend.

SOULFUL CONNECTIONS was born out of a love for and a desire to elevate friendships. Friendships like romantic partnerships include a deep love for “other” or the unknown, a bond different from the blood bonds of our family. Friendships pulsate as a type of chosen family and as such, become a portal into the possibility for collective empathy and love. Friendships offer increased potentiality to awaken dormant aspects of our Soul (the totality of our Self), allowing for more parts of us to be illuminated as we closely contact the diverse expressions and gifts that others bring to the world.

What would it be like to traverse more emotionally intimate and honest space with our friends, to spark powerful growth and individuation through the container of friendship? What would it be like to bring more of our dreaming selves to friendship through intentional honoring of our friends in a sweet celebration of all their unique offerings to the world and you?
