In this spiritual and supportive small group retreat for women over 40, we will explore our inner landscape while also enjoying the gorgeous outer landscapes of beautiful Crete, Greece.   ​ ​In a glorious and relaxed setting, we will deeply connect to ourselves, the Divine (however you understand that: God, infinite intelligence, unconditional love, etc.), as well as nature, sacred sites, and each other. Through intuitive art, guided meditations, and intuitive movement, I will facilitate our inner exploration of what we really need in order to be more joyful and how to move towards that. The Intuitive practices we will enjoy are all about the process, and require no technique or skill.  I will give guidance and support throughout. If you have ever felt a preference for one color over another (even in your choice of T-shirt!), you can do this.   If you have ever swayed your body to music without thinking about how or why, you can do this. Our guided meditations are profound and will lead you to a deeper connection with Universal Energy than you may have ever experienced before.   ​ You will come away with:  -a deeper connection to yourself in body, mind, and soul -a deeper connection to Universal Energy (aka God, Unconditional Love, etc.) -knowing how to reconnect with the joy that is your birthright in your unique way.  ​ We will also go on private excursions to connect with the heritage, beauty, and sacred sites of Crete, and indulge in delicious and wholesome food with options for all dietary needs.​ Join me and other soul-driven women to have fun, relax, and grow personally and spiritually on the beautiful island of Crete!

Past Reviews (optional)

I love working with Patrice. She is intuitive and wise beyond words and has helped me to see some of my limiting and negative patterns that hold me back. Working through art and meditation as well as her guiding words has deepened my understanding of myself and what I want and need in my life. This work is keeping me focused on my path toward a more balanced life, deepening my relationships, my self esteem and finding joy. I hope to take this joy and spread it to my family and community." ​ -Kathleen Sands, Lyons, CO
