Return to bliss
July 25-28, 2019 | Hot Springs, NC
Return and reconnect to your true inner joy - your bliss!
Return to Bliss
Bliss by definition is perfect happiness or great joy. Put into action it is to reach a state of perfect happiness, typically so as to be oblivious of everything else. What brings you joy and happiness? When was the last time you felt it? What is getting in the way of you returning there?
In our daily lives, it is common for most of us to be oblivious to things that distract us and are not inducing true joy or happiness. You are probably currently partaking in one of those daily distractions right now. This weekend is about reconnecting to your true inner joy. It is a time to unplug and raise inner awareness.
We have teamed up once again with The Union Health Project to bring you this relaxing retreat weekend. You will be pampered and pushed, you will be fueled with good food and feel from within, you will connect with nature and nurturing yourself once again. Our goal is you find the bliss from within.

Your hosts

Shelly Eilrich hosted her first retreat at Wheel of Bliss so this setting holds a special place in her heart. During that retreat, the property manager informed her there would be a yurt going in the meadow the following year. She cried. Her logo contained a yurt and it was the affirmation she needed that she was on the right path. Stepping into her role as a retreat leader & facilitator was scary at first. She feared failure and had to continually quite the old voices in her head. She quickly was reminded that we are supported 100% when we are following our souls path. There is no failure in doing what your soul was called to do. She has fully stepped into her role as an Authentic Connection Creator and brings such an honest vulnerability to the weekend that you can’t help but do the same.

Suhad Saadeh went to India in 2014 for her 500 hr yoga teacher training, she hid away in her room, sneaking cookies and cigarettes, feeling overwhelmed and insecure about whether her poses, outfits, or philosophy would measure up to the “handstand professionals.” Her sessions are designed with this feeling in mind, to introduce yoga as a free flowing way of life to use in the car, on the grass, during a business meeting: a secret treasure to carry with you wherever. Suhad’s role is to illuminate your innate ability to customize a variety of tools which unleash your creative expression and uncover a dream long hidden under the symptoms of self-doubt and fear. Her hope is that you walk away knowing how to use your body through the essence of yoga, art, and writing to find your bliss in the midst of your days. She continues to build on her own dream through a Masters in Social Work to help counsel the community about health awareness.
