Integrity as Awakening: The Magic of Personal and Collective Emergence
Blue Spirit Costa Rica - October 29-November 5
By bringing each domain of our lives into deep integrity, balance, and wholeness, higher states of consciousness such as flow states, mystical experiences, and non-dual awareness emerge.
In this sense, integrity awakening.
Using Brooke Sprowl’s pioneering psychospiritual model, Emergence Theory, we will chart a course to bring every area of your life––individual, relational, missional, and behavioral––into integrity, unlocking the latent spiritual, creative, and transformative energy that naturally awakens when we are living out our deepest values, highest purpose, and unique gifts.
"The art of pilgrimage
is setting off to a place
far away that you find
is already inside you
when you arrive."
Through sessions designed to activate your creativity, somatic intelligence, and intuitive wisdom, we invite you to deepen your connection to the divine, invisible reality within and beyond all things as a source of inner guidance as you commune with the nature where the lush mountains and jungle meet the Costa Rican coastline.
Experience the magic of personal and collective emergence.
