BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Lost Lessons for Luminosity

If growing up the voice you heard most often was coming from a judgemental place rather than a loving, supportive space, it’s no surprise that the voice which has the most gravitas in your everyday thoughts, which you identify with most today, will also come from this unresourceful space.

And given the societal predilection for comparison over compassion it stands to reason that a quieter, nurturing voice, which also lives inside you, is easily ignored, overwhelmed, and subdued.

Since we also have an innate safety mechanism built in to help us to fit in, to not be ostracised from the group, thereby ensuring our survival, when we do have the courage to look outside the box and the self-belief to put those thoughts into action only to have them diminished and undermined, shut down and even shamed. We understandably think twice next time, taking a literal step back, retreating into conformity and away from our #truself

This reaction further reinforces that judging internal dialogue and as we know our energy flows where our attention goes, deepening our disassociation from that innate, intuitive guidance, so much so that many of us are no longer even aware of it, nor believe it even exists.

Yet if you stop to contemplate for a moment, its unspoken role in your daily decision-making, its enduring existence in everyday vernacular, or even a preponderance for gender-specific superpowers, it is undoubtedly very much alive and well in our collective consciousness. Always available to us should we choose to open our energy, to receive the messages we need, for our greatest good.

Like a smouldering ember on a long-forgotten fire, all it requires is a little loving attention, a patient commitment to practicing, to cultivating, and to believing and just you wait and see, what begins as a faint whisper can effervescently rekindle something ancient and potent, roaring back into your life, guiding you to uncover your higher purpose, once more attuning you with your luminescent soul, allowing your #truself to shine through.

I work with individuals who have suffered a traumatic experience in their lifetime, who no longer wish to have it impact their mental health, their relationships with others and dictate how they show up in this world. When you show up as your #truself you’re empowered by that inner voice, you let go of attachment and judgement, are free to move beyond fear and expectation, to truly manifest your dreams into reality. There remains a taboo around the word trauma and many people when asked might assume the defensive and say, “not me”, for fear of how this may be perceived by others, but every single one of us has faced adversity at some time which has either built us up or broken us down. Personality traits, behaviour patterns, belief structures all stem from our past experiences but coping mechanisms forged in the fire only ever weigh us down, lead to more pain and deny our #truself from returning. The truth is it’s not the incident itself which is the real trauma it is the response to it and the resulting impact you allow it to have on your life and those around you, from that point forward, which does the real harm. Choosing curiosity over fear, self-compassion over self-judgement and acceptance over denial are the first steps we use to break down the protective walls which were once built up for protection, but which ultimately keep us stuck living out familiar storylines and conforming to a pale imitation of our #truself. Having studied many different modalities and practices during my own journey including kundalini yoga, breathwork, meditation, indigenous ancient wisdoms, emotional intelligence, mindfulness and loving awareness, Buddhist psychology, Vedic scripture and astrology, Zen practices and Taoist philosophy, I am uniquely blessed to help guide you along this path of your awakening and reconnecting you with your #truself.
