Awakening Magic: Igniting the Extraordinary Within

Dr. Tererai Trent, Elizabeth Gilbert & Chip Conley

The “Awakening Magic” event helps attendees awaken dreams, find purpose, and initiate life transitions by tapping into inner wisdom, feminine power, and courage to follow one’s authentic path – even if unconventional – reframing midlife as a transformative “chrysalis,” not crisis.
