How can you break away from stale relationships or an unfulfilling job?
How can you avoid feeling the need to seek approval from others?
How can you stop questioning your worthiness for abundance and success?

You can see world-renowned vibrational healer Sonia Choquette in person when she demonstrates: The Answer is Simple . . . Love Yourself, Live Your Spirit!

 Having observed thousands and thousands of people from virtually every walk of life, with every advantage or disadvantage, Sonia can confidently say that the only ones who genuinely succeed, who find peace and joy in their hearts and take great pleasure in their experiences, have a different way of going about things. Rather than relying solely on their egos—their defended, insecure personalities—and suffering the assaults life hands them, they turn to a higher aspect of their nature, the Spirit within, and let Spirit direct their lives. In these uplifting and powerful all-day workshops, six-sensory instructor and intuitive Sonia Choquette teaches you ten simple yet necessary steps that will allow you to make a connection with your authentic Spirit and experience your truth. “Once you choose to love yourself and align with your Spirit, life aligns with you. Obstacles give way to openings, and struggle turns to support.”

 You’ll also learn how to:
 

• Fuel your Spirit with the healing power of creativity and laughter
• Ignore your need to control, detach from your ego, and follow your heart
• Recognize members of your soul line who can foster your Spirit connection
• Identify what you love and always start your day with gratitude
• Choose to be true to yourself no matter what!

This workshop includes audience participation. Sonia also welcomes musician Mark Stanton Welch, a talented and visionary singer, songwriter, and vibrational healer from San Luis Obispo, California, who will provide live music during this exhilarating and inspired event.
