The old saying, “When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail,” illustrates the importance of expanding our set of skills, approaches, tools, and perspectives to effectively overcome a wide range of limitations or challenges. The listed tools have been included in this Guidebook because they are incredibly effective, but there is no “one size fits all” approach to healing or spiritual growth. These tools are ultimately about creating power and guiding you toward self-sovereignty. The Elixir of Life Retreats intends to offer you tools for self-mastery and to curate an experience where we can build relationships and community that will support us far into the future.
