RESIDENTIAL COURSE: Intuitive Intelligence - 5 Day Course
Is your mind always working? Does it need rest? Whether your mind is energetically active, tired or overloaded, it is always asking for space and yet we are always creating boundaries. Superconsciousness has no boundaries. It is the hidden, magical mechanism of our mind that operates through intuition, favoring physical and spiritual healing, problem solving, deep and lasting joy.
