About

The Event

Imagine living the life of your dreams...

Both joy and pain are powerful emotions that shape our lives and influence the way we see the world. Whether caused by external events or generated internally, these felt foes are often intertwined and experienced simultaneously. Because our lives are often richly diverse in experiences, having a greater awareness of how to create a balance between these essential parts of life can set us up, not only for growth, but to live more fully instead of on auto-pilot. Enter the Joy & Pain experience.

A Three Hour Mini Retreat - ripe with joyous energy and setting the stage for deep, meaningful healing, Joy & Pain puts you in the captain's chair, charting a path towards your best life yet. Increase your understanding of the dynamic between joy and pain. Connect with other joy seekers in a network of healing and transformation. Leave with a renewed sense of purpose. Put joy to work for you, because your best life is worth living right now.
