Embody Your Wholeness & Connectedness
You know there’s more than “this.” You want to feel connected to others and to something other than this physical world. You want to be joyful, happy, peaceful, and live a life filled with purpose. Is it even possible?
Acclaimed author, spiritual teacher, and evidential medium Suzanne Giesemann invites you to discover the answers to your greatest questions. For four love-filled days, surrounded by a community of kindred spirits, you will be guided to remember that you are a magnificent spiritual being, eternally connected to your loved ones (human and animal), your spirit guides, angels, masters, the web of infinite intelligence, and to All That Is.
“There is nothing new under the sun, only new ways to know at the human level what the soul has never forgotten.”
—Sanaya
Through guided exercises and meditations, sound healing, satsang-style teaching, evidence-based insights, and channeled sessions with Suzanne’s guides, Sanaya, you will know and experience your wholeness and connectedness and find freedom through expanded states of awareness.
Suzanne shares true stories, evidence, practical tools, and exercises for living the kind of life that most don’t even know exists—guided, aware, and perfectly in tune with who you are.
In this workshop, you’ll discover
- Your innate magnificence and brilliance
- That you are a sacred being living a human life
- Ways to navigate life with grace and stay centered even when events around you are in turmoil
- How to observe this world from a place of love, curiosity, and passion
- That you are always and forever connected soul-to-soul
- How to exercise your free will to choose your point of view in every single moment.
Join Suzanne for this soul-rejoicing journey into a new level of consciousness and connection—and embrace the life you are meant to live.
Open to everyone.
Note Participants are encouraged to bring a notebook or journal and a set of mala beads or beaded necklace/bracelet for a specific exercise.
