The Soulful Woman presents

Summer SoulSpa for Women

A Day of Healing and Regeneration

Saturday, 19th February 2011: 10am - 5pm

with Shushann Movsessian and Gemma Summers

"Deep inside all of us a huge potential beckons, waiting to open us to the joy, genius, freedom and love within." Brandon Bays

 

Welcome!

Our Summer SoulSpa is a perfect opportunity to deepen our resolutions and ernergise our intentions for the new year. Together we'll create space for reflection, share with likeminded women, and connect to our inner guidance. We've planned a delicious day of creativity, soul nourishment, and practical tools to support you in making an inspired transition into 2011.

We believe there's a quiet revolution happening in women’s self care. Women are beginning to address the imbalance between giving and receiving in their lives and take radical responsibility for their healing, wellbeing, and regeneration. When women feel more whole and supported, everyone benefits: children, family, friends, work and community.

 

About Summer SoulSpa

Summer is a time of light and warmth, a time when we can soak up the strong energies of nature and recharge ourselves for the year ahead. It's also a time to celebrate, give gratitude, and enjoy the bounty and abundance of life.

Our Summer SoulSpa offers you a sacred space to relax into and focus on your goals and dreams. You'll be firming up your intentions and creating a strong, inner foundation for them to flower into the world.

Come and be inspired. Take time to contemplate the questions that live in your heart. We facilitate with care and respect, keeping things safe and simple, while allowing whatever growth, healing or inspiration wants to happen. 

Summer Soul Spa Reflection Questions:

This will be a day dedicated to replenishing your spirit and deepening your connection to your own inner guidance and wisdom. Key questions we'll be exploring are:

1. What is the balance between giving and receiving in your life?

2. What support do you need to fulfill your goals and dreams this year?

3. How do you access your inner guidance and wisdom?

4. How do you nourish the divine feminine within? How is she guiding you?

5. How do you create from the Positive Feminine?

6. What does success mean for you and for the feminine side of you?

 

What previous SoulSpa participants say about SoulSpa:

"I travelled 6 hours from the country to attend this day and was so glad I did.  This was a day away from the hectic pace of a home and business and all it brings. A day where permission was given to “JUST BE”. Thank you Shushann and Gemma for facilitating it with a passion for women with open hearts and open minds." Tanya

"Gemma and Shushann, thank you for introducing me to the concept of a one-day retreat. Since it was my first time indulging in a day for myself, I was a little hesitant. Upon arrival I was greeted by other women who were about to do the same thing. Within minutes of entering the room I felt I'd made the right decision. Everyone was so friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I am looking forward to the next retreat." Tara
