Spiritual retreats and events with Jenny Maria & Barret offer spiritual and emotional healing full of divine care, presence and guidance, based in the profound metaphysics of A Course in Miracles.
By allowing the Holy Spirit to come through, Jenny Maria & Barret will gently guide and support you. Name and bring your healing Quest to the spiritual retreat, along with your desire for what you most pray for, or intend to experience. During each session you are invited to explore any remaining blocks to the awareness of love’s presence. The approach is always one of healing through the guidance of getting in touch with and gently releasing, emotional blocks and unsupportive beliefs. This we do for our self and the Whole Universe at once.
“Thank you for making me feel heard for the first time in a long time.”
Love, James

Saturday Night Movies for Awakening
The images on the screen reflect our state of mind.
Movies can be a great help to allow suppressed emotions and unconscious beliefs to surface. They can be used for both healing and getting clear on metaphysical truth.
Guided by Holy Spirit, Jenny Maria De La Luz leads these sessions with clarity, allowing what is shown on the screen become a healing pathway.
Come join us for metaphysical clarity & healing depth through profound movie experiences!
*These sessions will sometimes be prayerfully led by an Awaken to Love community member.
“Thanks sooooooo much for starting the Awaken to Love community in Durbanville.
My wish is that it will, no doubt (!), go from Strength to Strength.
We certainly look forward to seeing you again. You are such an
inspiration to foster Love and Light!”
