Are you ready to transform your practice?

With  limited enrollment, you can expect to be a part of a very attentive training that embraces the practice and is tailored to your unique needs and growth.

​

Your transformation begins with a 4-day intensive to nourish your body, mind and spirit in the Tucson, Arizona area.

At the end of our journey together, we will retreat to a beautiful space in the Tucson Area for a 7-day immersive experience. Shared lodging, a private chef, connection and exploration and the culmination of our collective pilgrimage.
