Stepping into the Mystery
An advanced intensive weekend with Certified Anusara® instructor, Ashley Fiala, and Anusara-inspired™ teachers, Doreen Wolf and Elissa Marshall.

The days get shorter and the nights get longer. We encourage you to step into those sticky dark places in your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual selves. Delving deep into the darkness, we will shed light on the fullness of our potential. We’ll also have a special guest TBA!
