Day 4: The Power of Laughter
The final day will be dedicated to the transformative power of laughter. Are you ready to have some fun? Let’s use this day to release, restore and activate the “Joy gene” within us. We will play, and embrace life! As laughter is a key component to healing.

Whether you join for one day or the full retreat, you will receive exactly what you need. You will leave feeling illuminated so you can bring the light to all.
My retreats are always guided by Spirit, I follow the theme, but what we do may change based on things like weather, energy of the room and desire of the participants.
Are you ready to illuminate your life, find peace, joy and connectivity as you prepare for the upcoming holiday season. Join us as we rest restore and rejuvenate.

WHY TRAVEL WITH LISA
Travel is my passion, and has been since my youth. I am fortunate to have stepped foot on over 7 continents and visited almost every state in the U.S. These adventures have opened me to a sense of wonder and freedom. Amazing personal growth has happened as I traveled. Every trip I embarked upon was like a wave moving me forward expanding my horizons.
I invite you to join me on a journey to the light and be open to the adventures you will have, the people you’ll meet and unexpected gifts around every corner.
