The Mission
Ariana and Heide decided to start BEYONDSELF , as a result of 10 years of research and experience in the field watching young women struggle to find their authentic selves and their path(s) in life. Seeing so many young women in dead end jobs and/or relationships and unsure about what to do with their lives (especially during and after high school and college), Ariana and Heide developed the "Beyond Self Program," to help young women find purpose and meaning for their lives. We seek to create an environment whereby women can realize their potential and know how to act on it. We hope this retreat will reinvigorate women to believe in their dreams. We want women to continue to have hope and to believe in themselves. We want women to understand how much they matter and that their ideas and voice(s) count. Women are the leaders of tomorrow and have the capacity to change their lives and ultimately the course of history The idea behindBEYONDSELF is to reach deep within to uncover the treasures that reside within and to learn how to communicate and share those gifts. Our mission is to restore and/or empower women to be their best. Every woman should gain the skills and knowledge to achieve optimal health - to feel healthy, confident and comfortable in their bodies. A hallmark of this retreat will be to utilize the arts, including the meditative arts, to explore ways in which to encourage imagination, creativity, confidence and purpose. We want each woman to walk away from this retreat with a clearer understanding of who they are, understanding their unique process. We should know how we think and why. We need to know that we have the power and the right to construct a plan and a strategy to be able to act upon and achieve our dreams and live out our passion(s). At BEYONDSELF we believe in providing women with the tools to go out in the world assertive and strong. Our women know that they don't have to "fit in," but that they have to be themselves - honoring their gifts, their voice, their purpose and reason for living. Through networking, mentoring and support groups (both on-line and in various communities), BEYONDSELF will seek to continue to encourage women to nurture who they are and what they want from life and themselves, even after they have left the retreat. We really believe that the "Beyond Self" experience will be a pivotal experience in the lives of young women that will never be forgotten. We believe BEYONDSELF participants will come back year after year to reenergize, to find rest and safe harbor in meeting new friends and old. To reflect and reshape their vision and purpose. BEYONDSELF a sanctuary where souls, minds, bodies, and spirits connect to refuel, reflect, reassess, and redefine one's purpose and reason for living!! |
