Legacy by Design:
Your Story, Your Creation

 Jointly sponsored by Planned Happiness Institute, CSL North Jersey and CSL South Coastal, MA

Warwick Conference Center
62 Warwick Center Road, Warwick, New York

December 5 - 8, 2024

The retreat will begin by getting cozy, settling in, navigating the ancestral land we are on, and taking a deep, arriving breath. Through process, movement, music, loving and safe conversations, we will release the limiting stories of our past, free ourselves from the strings that have kept us captive, and then recreate our legacy by our choice.

Together, we will create an ancestral altar, honoring our lineage—the good and the not-so-good—knowing that all of it made us who we are. Moving the body will release the attachments that have kept us in limiting habits.

Through spoken and written word and loving safe conversations we will recreate our Legacy by our own Design.

Speckled through the retreat will be meditation, powerful prayer/mindshift practices, live music, yoga, and a bonfire with smores - of course. What’s a fire without them? We will dine together as families in family groups where you will feel safe and cared for as you create new friendships for a lifetime.

As you prepare to join us, go through old photos and collect photos of your ancestral family. We will honor our roots while we redesign our future.
