Inner Peace
Release heavy emotional energy and experience a renewed sense of calm and balance.
Embark on a journey of profound spiritual transformation designed to awaken your inner truth and personal power. Renowned psychic medium and spiritual teacher Bill Philipps invites you into a sacred space where you’ll release emotional burdens, heal old wounds, and experience the freedom to create a new narrative for your life. Learn to trust yourself, develop your intuitive strengths, and tune into the divine source within you. Together, we’ll work with energy centers and the clair-senses to illuminate your path forward. You will also learn to distinguish between the guidance of Spirit and the voice of the ego, quieting the mental chatter that can cloud your judgments. This way, you can make better life decisions based on intuition rather than just rational thought, allowing you to recognize Spirit’s guidance and reclaim your ability to live with greater clarity, harmony, and joy.
Starting at $335 (Tuition) + $464 (Lodging + Meals) plus tax
