Awakening the Divine Within: A New Paradigm of Consciousness

WE HAVE ENTERED A NEW PARADIGM CONSIDERED TO BE THE GREAT AWAKENING. This is a time of transformation and the evolution of higher consciousness. Amidst great planetary confusion and upheaval, we are on the cusp of profound change. Ancient wisdom traditions, mystics, and modern astrologers have long predicted this era of awakening.

Join us at the beautiful Menla Retreat, where we will create a sacred space as a group. This immersive experience includes deep learning, meditation, and sacred fire ceremonies, guided by the knowledge of our ancestors and ancient traditions.

Are you ready to embrace change, awaken to divine presence, connect with nature, and access soul awareness? No matter where you are on your path of transformation, this program will guide you to the next step on your journey. Experience inner peace, joy, and stillness as we transition from 3rd dimensional reality to the wisdom of the 5th dimension. Release past wounds, open your heart, and give birth to a new paradigm of self and world perception.

You Will:

1. Connect to archetypes of nature, inner guides, and teachers
2. Open your spiritual heart to awaken your divine nature
3. Perceive and create your reality through soul awareness
4. Understand and embrace your role and your path during this cycle of Great Awakening as a new paradigm of consciousness evolves

Join us and be part of this transformative journey!
