LET LOVE SHINE: CREATING HEAVEN ON EARTH EVERY DAY
Practical ways to lead with Love in your thoughts, choices, and daily interactions. A ½ Day Virtual Workshop Inspired by Return to Love by Marianne Williamson.
Love is more than a feeling. It is a spiritual principle with the power to transform every area of your life. Yet many of us unknowingly lead with worry, fear, or pressure and wonder why peace, clarity, and joy feel distant. Pause and ask yourself. What are you filling your mind with. What are you holding in your heart. How are you expressing yourself in your daily life, your wellbeing, your work, and your relationships. If the answer is not Love, that may be your invitation. It is time to Return to Love. In this powerful and practical virtual workshop, you will learn simple and repeatable practices that help you begin from Love first. Through guided reflection and experiential activities, you will discover how Love opens the door to everyday miracles and a true Heaven on Earth experience. Come ready to shift. Miracles are waiting.
