We start OCTOBER 1

It all starts with the mind. Mindset is the key to all change... and a commitment to Self is the first step to make that happen.

Tending to the body is critical to having a healthy mind. We are given one body and caring for what we were given will strengthen how we care for our whole Self.

Nurturing the deeper spiritual connection to the soul to find clarity and purpose feeds the fire of our Spirit, empowering us to grow into our true self… and therefor finding true happiness. 

Each week, we focus on a specific topic aligned to one of the components of the Mind-Body-Spirit triad. This is what we cover in depth week-by-week...
