A life-changing musical journey that will inspire and empower 
you with meaningful tools to live the life
of your dreams!

Within eight days, Oprah Winfrey dedicated two of her shows to "The Secret", a documentary film and book about the transformational power of the mind. Her guests spoke about the "Law of Attraction" - an understanding that what you focus on in your life is what expands. 

The Law of Attraction is simple: Those who constantly lament their problems without fail experience more problems. Conversely, if the same person dwells instead on what does work in their professional and emotional lives, no matter how small it may seem, they can expect a growing abundance of opportunities. Some call it "abundance thinking." Others call it a Universal Truth, or The Power of Intention. Oprah attributes her success to it. 

If it's so easy, why are more people not living in Blissful Abundance?  

What about you... are you living to your fullest potential? 

Held at the beautiful Spearfish Canyon Lodge near Roughlock Falls, the weekend includes priority seating at a free screening of "The Secret" followed by a question and answer session. Tools to incorporate The Law of Attraction are the focus of the retreat:  The Passion Test - The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Destiny, energy balancing, individual spiritual healing, group coaching, breathing techniques, nutritional instruction, freshly prepared nourishing food, drumming circles and inspirational music with award winning songwriter Elaine Silver!
