Freedom Weekend 2019

Freedom Weekend: 

Freedom Weekend is your opportunity to experience mindful improv first hand. Let us share with you the content our clients have described as “utterly transformational,” “life changing” and “the most fun I’ve had learning something important in a long time.”

Freedom Weekend is about claiming peace in your life RIGHT NOW regardless of the circumstances. It is ideal for those navigating times of transition and uncertainty personally and/or professionally. Erin and Andrea have teamed up to provide you with a weekend full of content designed to help you get grounded, find clarity, build skill in the essential areas of forgiveness and confrontation ...while also having SO MUCH FUN and being surrounded by some of the most incredible beauty the world has to offer.

There will be time for reflection, meditation, yoga, journaling, hiking and enjoying the wonderful culinary scene in nearby Black Mountain, NC.

What’s Included?

• Both seminars (one focused on mindful improv practices for forgiveness the other on mindful improv practices for confrontation) and retreat activities:




• Guided meditation and reflection

What Should I bring?

• If you’d like to participate in the planned retreat activities (which are optional, and you may choose to simply relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings instead) bring appropriate hiking and yoga attire
