Soul Vision Collage-the Secret to an Extraordinary Life

Date: January 12, 2019
Time: 9:30 am – 1:30 pm
Cost: $97 + HST

This vision collage isn’t like any you have created before. Put simply, a vision collage is a paper board on which you glue carefully selected images, words and phrases with intention and emotion. This is a Potent interpretation of not just what you wish to manifest, but more importantly, the feeling and joy you wish to experience.

In this powerful workshop, you will learn how to set clear, strong intentions on what you want to manifest in your life. Without clarity, you are sending a vague concept out into the universe when manifesting. Therefore if you only send out vague desires, you will only receive vague results. The more clarity you have, the better! Where intention goes, energy flows!
