KEYNOTE

Our keynote will be the amazing Amy Gonzalez-Nelsen !

Amy is a vibrant, heart-centered Intuitive, Bravery Activator and Speaker.

More than a traditional healer, Amy inspires by effortlessly blending the healing components of energy work, Reiki, NIA, mindfulness and sound healing.

She has been teaching the movement practice of NIA for over 10 years and her personal practice, Conscious Intuitive Movement for 5 years. She has facilitated classes and workshops locally and abroad.

Amy's events, workshops and classes are a multifaceted experience of possibility, empowerment, wonder and Joy. Her magnetic energy and humor offer a tangible approach to healing.

Beyond her movement classes, her passion for the awareness and advocacy of mental wellness for women and children has sparked the movement she calls B.R.A.V.E ON: (Bold, Resilient, Authentic, Vulnerable, Energy).

This uniquely curated energy practice assists you in the ability to connect to your soul, and to step into your BRAVE. It is the one-of-a-kind vibration we each emit that balances out the human and spiritual self.

Connecting to your Brave is the ability to shift perspective with conscious intentional thoughts, to practice life through movement, identify and embody patience with yourself and the world. Finally, embracing purpose - your purpose for the here and now. Brave On is a deep dive into the four pillars of life, our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual self. It is coming to a place of peace.

Above all she shares the importance of collaboration for we are all in this together and we need each other.

That ultimately that being human is by far bravest act of all.

LOCATION

We have a new location this year, Cedar Valley Retreat Center near West Bend, Wisconsin. We hear the food is fabulous and when the Council women visited, it seemed like a cozy and comfortable space.

Cedar Valley is 100 acres of pastoral beauty nestled in the heart of Washington County, just a short drive north of the metro Milwaukee area. Your creative spirit will soar while walking the beautiful trails, or enjoying a sunset. There are abundant indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities. You can attend workshops, enjoy thoughtfully sourced and prepared meals, and simply relax.

WORKSHOPS (so far)

"Crafting the Threads of Your Truth" - Amy Gonzalez-Nelsen

Life is a breathtaking tapestry made up of many threads from our personal journeys.  Each one is intricate, and unique to the individual. With each interaction we experience with another, a new thread is created.

In our ever changing world, with so much incoming energy of uncertainty, instability and the unknown our threads begin to fray.  

Join me for a 2 day collaborative experience of community and connection as we journey in “Crafting the Threads of Your Truth”.

Part one: (Keynote)

You will leave with an understanding of 

  • How shifting perspective is the core piece in your thread. 
  • What it means to actively practice the art of crafting your life. 
  • Why patience is the movement your body and mind seek. 
  • When your purpose resides in the here and now. 

Part two: (workshop)

Embodying the 4 principles of perspective, practice, patience and purpose within the body. Using movement to create the balance in our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual threads of truth, of our souls.

*this workshop is for everybody, no experience necessary.  Please bring a mat, wear comfortable clothes to move in and water.

We embrace the peace we weave together, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. A most magical weekend awaits you.
