Finding Your Divinity: Daylong Retreat with Elizabeth Pyjov in NYC

Take as a Past Program

Inspired by the book launch the day before, let’s gather in New York City in the same neighborhood on Sunday to explore how to find the divinity within ourselves. This gathering will be an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper parts of who we are. During our time together, we will talk about practical ways to recognize and connect with your own divinity through concrete steps you can apply in everyday life. We will also explore what it means to feel your eternity and how that awareness can shape the way you move through the world. Another important part of the discussion will focus on staying connected to your divinity as you grow older. We will look at how to practice self-compassion as you change, grow, and age, and how honoring those changes can deepen your spiritual connection rather than weaken it. Along the way, we will also explore the three phases of being present to your divinity. My goal for you is simple. When it feels like the whole world is going crazy, you can remain calm because you know you are eternal and you know how to connect to the divine within you. I want to give you tools that help you access that connection so that every day can feel like a moment of joy.
