PATHWAYS TO SELF HEALING RETREATS: Journeys for Women Supporting Women
Co-lead by Karin Marcus and Linda Marrical www.AssistedReleaseTherapy.com
As the founders of Pathways to Self Healing, it is our intention to create sacred spaces within which women can embrace their innate wisdom and cultivate their unique purpose. It is our belief that every woman has within her the divine potential and knowledge to blossom into a magnificent, realized human being. Women are the nurturers and healers of the world, but first they must learn to mother their own spirit. With our retreats, workshops, and products, we seek to support women in listening to their bodies, hearts, and souls, so that they can walk their individualized paths toward fulfillment.
By combining Linda Marrical's experience as an Asian Body Therapist and Karin Marcus' as a Certified Life Coach, we offer an East meets West holistic approach to personal growth. With Linda’s vast experience in acupressure, shiatsu massage, Chi Kung (similar to Tai Chi), Tibetan medicine, and her personal study of Taoism, she offers a new perspective into understanding how to dialogue with the body through breath, movement and touch. With Karin’s naturalist approach to embracing change and becoming environmentalists for our souls, she offers new avenues for women to access their inner wisdom and create an empowered and fulfilled life. The skills tools, and perspectives, we offer are further enriched by the life experiences of the women who join us on our adventures. It is the power of this sisterhood that makes the Pathways to Self Healing gracefully joyful, deeply heartfelt, and satisfyingly real.
