SOULDRAMA Workshops and Retreats - Awaken to Your Higher Purpose"
Spring Lake Heights, NJ
Retreats are ongoing and held WORLDWIDE
Including: Peru, Hawaii, Greece, Amsterdam and the USA
Toll-free 1-800-821-9919 or Email
Website
Life's Purpose - What is yours? Is your spiritual development important to you? If so, Souldrama can help. How do we live a soulful life? We are all on a life-long journey; it is a search for who we are and why we are here. It expands our consciousness, awakens our heart, and clears our mind. Does your life feel empty? Lack meaning? Do you want more purpose, guidance, spiritual connection, meaning, joy, intuition, service, love, freedom and power? Are you stuck in your relationship? For half of our lives we develop our personality to become a mature vehicle for the next major step in our life - to develop our spiritual intelligence and help others using our unique gifts and talents. A new spirituality requires us to know the presence of Spirit .. the Universal Presence ... in all things and forms. People everywhere are searching for well-being: for meaning, direction, fulfillment, health, and happiness. To have our needs met, we look to the outside world to feel useful and appreciated. We long for great relationships, to love and to be loved. Little do we realize that the process has to start internally, if we look within we can find all of our answers. Behind all of these human desires is the creative impulse of our soul; it moves through each of us and through the world we exist in. When we can understand, connect, and respond to soul, we find meaning in all of our experiences, even the most difficult ones. When we resist the soul because we don't understand what's happening; we become ill, have accidents, experience emotional pain, and struggle with money as well as work and interpersonal relationships. We invite you to experience the Journey through the Doors of Spiritual Transformation at one of our Retreats and Workshops TODAY!

Rejuvenate with Jan - Cleansing Fast Retreats

Lose pounds of toxic weight and emotions, while relaxing in healing waters. Get your life and your gut un-stuck! Juice Fasting Retreats held in Desert Hot Springs, California at The Spring Resort and Spa There are beautiful views of the palm trees against the mountains. Great sun rises, sun sets, green grass ( a luxury for the desert ).Come and have a HEALTHY GOOD TIME!! Cleansing and enhancing my body and mind has been a personal pleasure and passion of mine for several years. The average person, even with a flat stomach, carries around in their bowel 10 – 15 POUNDS (often more) of PURE TOXIC WASTE…. that is poisoning the body. My Cleansing Retreat Program is the result of traveling the world and finding out first hand what I feel has been most effective. I will continue to seek out the best possible methods of cleansing and detoxifying, for others and myself. The cleanse itself is foolproof. It WILL work!! I am here to help you and to guide you through the whole process. I am here for you. One of the reasons that a cleanse is so dramatically effective is that it commonly removes stress and dis-ease causing “toxic” emotions. It is amazing how quickly people respond to just one cleanse.
