Healing the Courageous Heart
What Does It Truly Mean to Heal the Heart?
For many of us, “issues of the heart” are central to our capacity to undergo transformative change. This week will provide you with the chance to meet and heal your heart and experience its innate joy. Through the wisdom that Edgar Cayce offered to people who came to him with a wounded heart, you will experience the transformation that comes from self-acceptance and self-love, healing your own heart so that love and compassion can then pour out into the hearts of others.
Your capacity to contribute meaningfully to the world and help others on their journey begins with doing your own healing around these deeply personal matters of the heart.
Why Attend
Healing the heart most often involves dealing with loss. It may be the loss of a loved one who has passed, the end of a friendship or job, or a shift in your sense of identity or purpose. Many of us also carry the quiet ache of losing a part of ourselves, the wonder of childhood, the hope we once held, or the potential we imagined for our lives.
A wounded or broken heart is something we all face at some point, but it doesn’t have to define us. While we cannot always prevent heartbreak, we can choose how we move through it. A wounded heart does not need to become bitter or shut down. At its core, your heart is courageous. The word “courage” itself comes from the Latin word (‘cor”), meaning heart.
This retreat provides you with the space and tools to rediscover your strength.
