‘We need to free ourselves from ancient patterns of thought and behaviour that prevent us from awakening to our own resplendence and wisdom. Ending the cosmic game of limitation within ourselves can be achieved faster than we might think. As we begin to bring our true talents and gifts to life, we help ourselves and others achieve a fulfilling life and peace of mind,’ says the shamanic consciousness and transformation coach with 20 years of experience. During her Shamanic Energy Healing Retreat, participants will find that her teaching is highly empathetic, reflecting a profound dedication, passion, sensitivity and intuition.

During the retreat, she introduces participants to earth medicine and shows them how living in the sacred space of their spirit self’s circle enables the encounter with and experience of the self and their own medicine. The medicine wheel’s 12 sacred places serve as gateways for the extra-sensory experience of deep messages. Unresolved life issues are looked at from a higher dimension and participants receive clear directions for action that will lead to a resolution. As their real life mission becomes apparent so do the things that need to be let go of on a mental, emotional or spiritual level. Scharnitzky attends to each individual as they come to a deep recognition of their issues, providing tools for self-adjustment that are easily applied in everyday life.

Additional one-to-one coaching with Gabrielle Scharnitzky aimed at resolving deep-seated emotional blocks will also be available during the retreat. This is an intense, one-hour session that raises awareness of behavioural patterns and beliefs, using integration techniques to release the effects on mind, body and soul for renewed energy and a positive attitude to life!

Ayurveda – the name originates from Sanskrit and essentially means ‘science of life’. The ancient Indian holistic system of knowledge is based on the interrelationships of body, mind and spirit, and the mix of three life forces or Doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha, which are responsible for the basic characteristics and respective constitutions of human beings. If these Doshas are unbalanced due to stress, poor nutrition or other influences, we feel physically and mentally unwell. The aim of Ayurveda is to bring the three Doshas together in harmony – this is done through soothing oil massages, purifying measures, Ayurvedic nutrition, meditation, Yoga and more.
