About the workshop: "As we travel our planet, we become more aware of the impacts that tourism brings to certain natural areas and local communities. As conscious lifestyle advocates, we believe we can always choose more sustainable and ethical ways to travel and to live. Our workshops will not only be based on teaching how to be more mindful of your choices, but mostly sharing, and learning all together, about our strengths, personal power, and values, using them to make positive impacts on the world and to find real happiness. Through group dynamics, yoga/meditation practices, creative arts, and mastermind sessions, we explore our own being, empowering ourselves and each other to make changes and be the change."
