Join us for Flourishing With Light in the heart of the Baja.

Take a break from winter and join us for a signature enso retreat in the warmth, splendour and charm of Baja, Mexico!  

Flourishing With Light is a retreat for people 50+ who wish to deepen into body, mind, heart and soul. Based on the Ten Light Bodies of Consciousness, we will explore pathways to deeper consciousness and enlightenment.  By embracing the present moment with openness we realize and know we have the solutions and answers already within us. We begin building a reality that is based on light, love, wisdom and power in perfect balance. For each step we take personally, we impact the world with this amazing energy of light and love.  Together with a group of beautiful souls and wisdom facilitator Dori Howard you will explore such questions as:

How do I fully embrace lightness of being?

What practices can I learn and adopt to deepen into being-ness and live with more peace and harmony?

How can I live with more presence and awareness to deepen my connection to my truest self?

Flourishing with Light is a novel retreat experience that includes 4 phases: 

Preparation: pre-retreat live via Zoom, yoga, meditation and group meet-and-greet.

Immersion: a 7 day, 6 night yoga, meditation, learning, enjoying and connecting retreat hosted at Yandara Retreat Centre

Integration: post-retreat yoga live via Zoom, follow up group session, 1:1 coaching session, 

Continuing Connection: post-retreat opportunity to participate in enso’s hopeful community through a variety of program options.
