FROM THE DESK OF ERIC PLANTENBERG

Your Next Chapter Awaits…

The digital age has showered us with countless offers, courses, and workshops, all promising that coveted ‘life change’.
It’s only natural to wonder:
Could this retreat truly be different? Could it be that elusive key to unlocking a brighter, more fulfilling future?
The reality is, everyone has felt like passengers on a runaway train at some point in their lives.
It’s such a common experience to feel like the things most important to you are plates spinning on a stick that you’re scrambling to keep spinning.
You might be feeling like you’re on a rollercoaster that just won’t stop.
You’re looking around, thinking everyone’s got it better.
Your brain?
It won’t quit with the chatter about that embarrassing thing from 5 years ago or that mistake from last week.
And let’s not even talk about those habits you wish you could kick, or those draining relationships that feel like quicksand.
Feeling stuck, procrastinating, and accidentally pushing people away?
Yep, everyone has been there. I’ve certainly been there too.
Now, imagine flipping the script.
After the retreat?
It’s like you’ve got this superpower where you choose how you react, every single time.
You’re suddenly radiating this “happy for no reason” feeling, and those once-intimidating bullies in your life? You’ve got the formula to easily handle them.
Plus, the retreat is like this friend-magnet. You bond with these amazing people, all vibing on the same wavelength, and…
Boom! – You’ve got a new squad of positive pals from all over the place.
Life starts feeling more like a smooth sail rather than a stormy sea.
And the best part?
You leave with this cool toolkit that makes you feel ready to take on anything and everything life throws your way.
Isn’t it time you had the tools and mindset to really flourish?
If you’re nodding ‘yes’, then you won’t want to miss this.
The Abundant Living Retreat is beckoning, and it could be the exact catalyst you need.
I genuinely look forward to the possibility of welcoming you and embarking on this transformative journey together.

Eric Plantenberg
Curator, Abundant Living

“I have lived and worked at the Omega Institute, Esalen and Heartwood. I’ve studied with Thich Nhat Hanh, Jack Canfield, Ram Dass, Dan Seigel, and Stanislav Grof and I’ve been doing creative visualization for 20 years. While there’s been significant value in my previous experiences, this was surprisingly effective and pertinent to me at this time, even coming from the point of view that ‘I’ve been exposed to it all already.’ This is a really powerful curriculum.”

– VICTORIA HUNTER
