Labor Day Weekend Switzerland Retreat

Align with the evolving pulse of the earth and her timeline....  

Remembering our Future
with Heather Principe and Gary Strauss
September 3 - 6, 2009 in Switzerland

Co-sponsored  by Polarity Healing Arts of California,The Yoga & Polarity Center, & l’Ecole de Polarity Suisse Romande.

In this workshop, each participant will be guided through an individual and a  group journey designed to empower us to act in alignment with the evolving pulse of the earth.  On this path each of us is encouraged to remember our unique gift and to ground our contribution to the world in the present for the future.
In the outer world as well as inside of ourselves, when old structures fall apart the energy that was necessary to hold them together  becomes available for new ways and new forms to emerge.  With gratitude for all the learning we honor what has been.  We sit still and as we do we start hearing new voices; new visions and impulses emerge from the heart of chaos.
Coming into present time and honoring the land encourages us to remember the wisdom of our ancestors.  We tune into the power of our inner core structure.  We re-source the vision of our own individual DNA to re-vision our world and create our future as individuals and as a world community.

Workshop open to everyone.
