Pre-Retreat Workshops
For Friday, April 30, 2021
Intuitive and Psychic Development - Awaken Your Intuitive Gifts
Presented by JOHN MICHAEL THORNTON
We all have intuition available to us as our “sixth sense” – an inner voice or gut feelings. The key is to learn to hear your intuition (your inner knowing) and be able to use its guidance to make the best possible choices for your own life. This workshop will introduce you to tools, techniques and exercises to help you develop and focus on your inner voice. And mostly – we’ll have fun!
9:00am-3:00pm, April 30, 2021
Cost: $50.00
No CE Credits Available
Available in-person and online
Lunch included for in-person attendees
