Take a break from winter and join us for a signature enso retreat in the warmth, splendour and charm of Baja, Mexico!  

Flourishing With Light is a retreat for women 50+ who wish to deepen into their heart centre and live from a place of light and love. By embracing the present moment with openness we realize and know we have the solutions and answers already within us. We begin building a reality that is based on love, wisdom and power in perfect balance to shine our light within—our central sun. For each step we take personally, we impact the world with this amazing energy of light and love, guided by the Ten Light Bodies of Consciousness. Together with a group of beautiful souls and wisdom facilitators Dori Howard and Erin Routly, you will explore such questions as:

• How do I fully embrace my central sun?

• Where in my life can I deepen into living from a place of light and love?

• What practices can I learn and adopt to deepen into my central sun?
