Have you ever wondered if maybe - just maybe - there are other, more powerful ways to live, and to "be" in your life?
Do you ever wake up wondering "is this all there is"?
Do you ever feel that you're not "fully awake" or conscious in your life, that you're on automatic pilot?
Do you have a longing, deep within you, to not only know who you realy are, but who you have the potential to become?
If you answered yes to even one of the questions above, you may wish to enter into the very unique experience of Invitation to Live Fully. Invitation to Live Fully will immerse you in a small group gathering and will engage you in an interactive process, one morning every week, over a six week process.
This invitation will change how you currently see your world, and will enable you to learn about a differing worldview. The experience willchallenge your existing beliefs about what's possible for you as you move through your world, and will open up a whole new way of experiencing life - on a moment to moment basis.
