Understanding And Transforming Self-Sabotaging Patterns
From The Deep…
This introspective retreat is a journey of self-discovery to find the masks we wear, the reasons why we carry them, and the lessons they have come to teach us, so that we can transform them. The roots of these patterns are in the unknown, stored in the body, so how do we find them?
