Come, relax, and experience Ancient Wisdom . . . Sacred Teachings for Today. We are excited to offer you a week full of classes, lectures, workshops, meditations, healing experiences and more.Please study this brochure carefully, and register as soon as possible to assure that you get the workshops and accommodations of your choice.

Retreat Theme: Ancient Wisdom . . . Sacred Teachings for Today. It has been said, that during this time of Great Awakening, the Ancient Wisdom will begin to come forward in a form that we can recognize. Human consciousness has been preparing for this time of transformation, and we are now able to begin to access these Sacred Teachings, which have been kept safely hidden for us, until we were ready. Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, drawn circa 1490, is a wonderful example of the Ancient Wisdom available to us. The Vitruvian Man represents the dual nature of man and his goal to

“square the circle” by reuniting matter with spirit. The drawing is often used as an implied symbol of the essential symmetry of the human body, and of the Universe as a whole ... the microcosm reflecting the macrocosm, or as above, so below. Let us do our part by making ourselves ready to receive these Sacred Teachings. We can make the conscious choice to forgive and release the past, to let go of old ways of thinking that keep us from living in present moment awareness. It is important to prepare our physical vehicle for the new energies that are entering the earth plane; to clear away the old from our minds, the conscious and the unconscious, so that we can fully embrace these Sacred Teachings for Today. 2013 is a Universal 24/6 (Twenty-four/Six) Year. The number 6 is about responsibility, counseling, teaching, healing others, creating harmony in groups, and joining with each other as we change from individual consciousness to Planetary consciousness and ultimately Universal consciousness. In the Tarot, the 24/6 is symbolized by the Queen of Wands. The Queen holds the live wand of Spiritual Power in her right hand, indicating that we already have the spiritual resources we need. The sunflower which always turns to face the Sun is in her left hand, indicating a sunny and optimistic outlook for this time period. The black cat in front of her throne represents the clairvoyant powers, available to us this year, and the triple peaks in the background depict attainment on three planes of consciousness. With such wonderful energy available this year, let us embrace the Divine Ancient Wisdom being revealed to us now. Please join us on this journey at The Great Lakes Retreat: Ancient Wisdom . . . Sacred Teachings for Today.~ Cindy Berry-Addis

Although many of the postures may be similar to Yoga and Qigong, the intent is NOT to teach Yoga or Qigong, but to rather, draw on the mind/body connection, balance and flexibility that are inherent in these practices. The movements have been adapted to work with all levels of ability. This workshop is for all levels.
