So be it So be it.  <br /><br /><br /> Wishing you a happy new decade!<br /> Oceans and Rivers of  Love.<br /> ༄ Apostolia ༄</em><br /><br />  </p> <p><img alt="The Happiness Circle Private Facebook Group by Apostolia " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="337f3c59-3aa8-4fe2-ac39-58d908bf43fd" src="/sites/thehappinessretreat.gr/files/inline-images/The%20Happiness%20Retreat%20circle.jpg" width="667" height="667" loading="lazy" /><br /><br /><br /><em>You are welcome to join our (new) private Facebook Group <br /> The Happiness Retreat Circle<br /> To become a member<strong> <a href="https://thehappinessretreat.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bee253022dbb0de19a5f88431&amp;id=726cd807c1&amp;e=7a0cb43ee6">Click here </a></strong>or on the image below<br /> You are welcome to invite your friends too.<br /> The communication language will be English.<br /><br /><strong>༄</strong><br /><br /> I have offered 3 Free Online Meditation Ritual Sessions, that you can still practice as many times as you want until the Full Moon on January 10th.<br /> The links are below:<br /><br /> ༄ Friday 27<br /><a href="https://thehappinessretreat.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bee253022dbb0de19a5f88431&amp;id=848cb98636&amp;e=7a0cb43ee6">1st-day meditation -Forgiveness</a><br /><br /><strong>༄ </strong>Saturday 28<br /><a href="https://thehappinessretreat.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bee253022dbb0de19a5f88431&amp;id=b90240df0d&amp;e=7a0cb43ee6">2nd-day meditation -Gratitude</a><br /><br /><strong>༄ </strong>Sunday 29 December<br /><a href="https://thehappinessretreat.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bee253022dbb0de19a5f88431&amp;id=60f811545f&amp;e=7a0cb43ee6">3rd-day meditation - New Intentions</a></em><br /><br />  </p> <p><img alt="3 days meditation" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d6cd9670-663d-43e5-a7fc-64e8311841a6" src="/sites/thehappinessretreat.gr/files/inline-images/3%20Days%20Replays.jpg" width="3872" height="2581" loading="lazy" /><br /><br /><br />  </p> <p><br /><br />  </p> <p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />  </p> <h4><br /><br /><br /><em> </em></h4></div></div> </div> <div class="field field-node-field-tags field-entity-reference-type-taxonomy-term field-formatter-entity-reference-label field-name-field-tags field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item field__item--blessings"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/74" hreflang="en">blessings</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--new-year"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/75" hreflang="en">new year</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--new-decade"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/76" hreflang="en">new decade</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--celebration"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/77" hreflang="en">celebration</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--spirituality"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/9" hreflang="en">spirituality</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--_020"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/78" hreflang="en">2020</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--retreat"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/14" hreflang="en">Retreat</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--transform"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/79" hreflang="en">transform</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--transformation"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/20" hreflang="en">Transformation</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--unique"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/80" hreflang="en">unique</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--yoga"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/35" hreflang="en">yoga</a></span> </div><div class="field__item field__item--dance"> <span class="field__item-wrapper"><a href="/taxonomy/term/43" hreflang="en">dance</a></span> </div></div> </div> Fri, 03 Jan 2020 10:09:26 +0000 Apostolia 109 at https://www.thehappinessretreat.gr
