Being Alive

Seminar

Effortlessly discover your sense of wonder.

March 24 – March 26, 2023 | Camp Tecumseh, New Jersey

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper” – W.B. Yeats

Most of us lose our connection to our sense of being alive, our sense of wonder and do not smell the air or feel the ground beneath our feet. We are habituated to thinking and complaining. Our days have become invested in our computers, smartphones, “to-do” lists and worries about the future or regrets about the past. But this moment is where your life is taking place. And the moment is magic if you are here to experience it.

In this residential retreat, award-winning authors and internationally acclaimed seminar leaders Ariel & Shya Kane invite you to join them in experiencing Being Alive rather than just thinking about it.

Tuition includes meals, rooming (double occupancy/multiple occupancy), and shared bath.

In this seminar, you will

Unplug from everyday pressures and reconnect with your magnificence
Rekindle your sense of wonder and delight
Rejuvenate your spirit and recharge your “battery”
Enjoy freedom from stress, worry and anxiety
Strengthen your ability to be present and effective, regardless of the circumstances
