THE ARRIVAL- retreat no more

 
 

THE DREAM.

My 7 essential elements. Introduced, explored, distilled down. In Italy.

1. Awareness.
2. Movement.
3. Nourishment.
4. Voice.
5. Zest.
6. Grit.
7. Untethered integration.

So you can begin:

  • coaxing out of that far-too-comfortable dormancy
  • reuniting with your emotions
  • trusting yourself
  • getting real about what you want in your life
  • challenging yourself
  • choosing, clarifying, chasing, and catching your dreams
  • meeting face-to-face with your essence

THE REAWAKENING.

both a masterpiece and a work-in-progress
This is Villa Magnolia, and it’s a work-in-progress.

It is also a masterpiece, as its original beauty and character is continually coaxed to shine through.
 
 

THE GUIDE.

My name is April M. Lee, and I’m a work-in-progress too.

I am also a certified holistic life & wellness coach, mentoring women of all ages who are chasing their dreams and sculpting their own personal masterpieces. (I’m right there with them, refining and reshaping, creating my own magnum opus.)

Have I myself arrived? I don’t think a person is ever fully complete, ever fully arrives. But I am proof that dreams, desires, wishes, and goals can absolutely be realized.
 
 

THE ATMOSPHERE.

Magical. Real and honest. Full of smiles and tears, laughter and love, raw emotion and breakthroughs, grief and light. Supporting each other. Digging deep. Discovering your own essence in the process. Genuine deliciousness.

Four courageous women. Serious about choosing, clarifying, chasing, and catching their dreams.
