VIRTUAL

Continuing Bonds Workshop with Ariela HaLevi of SoulCentered – Virtual

You have had a loss, and whether it was last week or ten years ago, the desire to connect and continue the relationship never dies. Love never dies. Join Ariela HaLevi, Shamanic Energy Healer, as we explore the healing journey to connect to the spark of your loved one and reignite the spark inside of you. This workshop provides a holistic approach to connecting to your loved ones on the other side as you journey through loss. During this program we will explore what it means to holistically heal, learn practical pathways to continue the bond with your loved ones and your ancestors, and receive the comfort, support, and guidance you need, not to move on from your loss and your grief, but to move forward in real connection and fully live your life.
