Since publishing her book in the fall of 2001, Grace has been overwhelmed with positive response from her readers. TTS went into second printing after only two months and became a bestseller in Canada in six months! There is definitely an appetite for inspirational guidance and gentle encouragement.
Many people want to take the step or are in the process of taking the step, but the “doubt demons” get in the way. The voices say: “You can't do it? Who do you think you are?” and bit-by-bit these voices from the past conceal the bridge. So they procrastinate, postpone, avoid and make excuses why they can't today take the step. But eventually, the soul grows restless. Deep within the heart, there is an ache for something more—a yearning to be reunited with the Truth about who we are and what our purpose is.
The TTS Intensive Workshop Retreat is designed by Grace Cirocco and is based on the teachings in her best-selling book. It is an opportunity to voice the fear, heal the doubt, create a vision, and MOVE FORWARD with your life. You will leave feeling deeply connected to your Authentic Self, spiritually invigorated and emotionally empowered to take the next step.
Who Should Attend?
Are you fragmented or whole? Passionate or indifferent? Balanced or frantic? Bursting with confidence or plagued with doubt? Spiritually at peace or angry? What part of you is neglected and how have you been postponing your happiness? These are just some of the questions Grace will invite you to ponder as she guides you to take the step towards your highest aspirations; your truest goals; and the life your soul came here to live. If you want to move forward either personally or professionally, but feel stuck; or uncertain of the barriers or blocks preventing you from creating your vision; then this workshop is for you.
Why a Workshop Just for Women?
A lot of women at first glance seem to cope well. They're competent in some area of their life. They've learned to juggle their many roles, and to the outside world appear to be in control. What people don't see is the Fault Line on the inside that puts pressure on everything else. It may be an abusive past (or present), clogged emotion, exhaustion due to “the hurry disease”, burnout, loneliness or spiritual emptiness. Today's modern woman is constantly under pressure to “do it all” “be it all”, and “make everyone happy”. Every woman has her story, and it is this story that, left unexpressed and unhealed over time, sabotages any hope of serenity and happiness. In this weekend retreat, you'll have the opportunity to share your unique story. You'll learn to slow down, be still and get re-acquainted with your Spirit. Your heart will be enveloped by love, compassion and encouragement as you continue your journey towards healing and wholeness. On Day 1, you will name your fears and identify the blocks that may be preventing you from taking the step across your bridge. On Day 2, you will work on sustaining the Vision of your life that will carry you across the bridge to extraordinary possibilities.
Women have called the workshop “life changing” and “the most powerful weekend of my life”.
With Grace as your guide, you will have a chance to look at all areas of your life (health, relationships, career, family) and address issues holistically. You will get the tools to create resilience from the Inside out including the mind, body, heart and soul. Using a combination of personal stories, exploratory self-awareness exercises, poetry, music and lecture, Grace weaves magic in two and a half days. Through a series of heart-to-heart group exercises; visualizations, creative writing assignments; dance movements, releasing of old emotions, and time alone in nature, you will take this extraordinary journey with a small group of women just like you.
