Let's come together to understand our full capacity as women, as humans and as agents of change for a better world.
Your spirit needs to stretch and grow, your mental consciousness needs to be sharp and intuitive and your body yearns to be healthy and balanced. And at the same time, you must relax and retreat in order to regenerate your energy, your ideas, your life force and your feminine power.
Yogis, seers and sages forsaw these times coming. They predicted a shift in consciousness that will influence the way we live, the way we create livelihood, the way we relate to one another.
Individually and as a humanity, we are being challenged in everything from how to survive, how to provide for our loved ones, how to help ourselves and how to help others. You don't have to do this alone. There is support and power in yoga, self-care and in coming together. As we get a sense of how to heal the self, the ideas and inspiration flows, a deeping of self-awarenss and what you capable of.
The time is now, for us as aware and conscious women, to open up to our full potential, tap into our wisdom and intuition and embrace our roles as Changemakers. Let's seed our new future together.
