We are Melissa Dinwiddie and Michelle Nickolaisen…


…and we know how the holidays can take it out of you.

Between all the running around after family, cooking, financial worries, present missions, relative-juggling and general chaos and disarray … your creative spirit is feeling rather frazzled.

The new year should be a time of rejuvenation, a time to affirm and focus on your values, decide upon your goals and clear your head of all the detritus left over from last year. Instead, you’re feeling more confused than ever.

What you need is to take a little time away from the craziness. You need to relax and clear your head, to focus on your goals and values. You’d love to “get away from it all,” but it’s not as easy as that. You have bills to pay, a family to take care of and chores to finish. You can’t just leave on a contemplative retreat any time you please.

Or can you?

We’d like to invite you to join us at the Day of Genius, a virtual retreat taking place on the 8th of January, 2012.

The Day of Genius is a series of inspirational live streaming video workshops, workbooks and individual coaching / “hot-seating” that will bring your focus back to YOU. In this relaxed, supportive environment you’ll gain the clarity and optimism you need to make positive changes in your life.

  • You’ll dig deep to discover your true values and make the changes you REALLY want in 2012.
  • You’ll learn how to incorporate new eating habits to enrich and revitalize your life.
  • You’ll come away feeling inspired and ready for action.
  • You’ll have a better connection with your body, and will move in different, more healthful ways.
  • You’ll understand the value of breathing, and can keep your energy up even after long hours at the computer.
  • You’ll gain hope, inspiration and self-awareness from listening to the stories of others, and from telling your own stories.
  • You’ll learn how to support yourself when you mess up.

• • • • • • •

At the end of the Day of Genius you’ll have discovered the tools you need to create sustainable habits that nurture your body and your soul.

The Day of Genius is a retreat with a difference. You don’t have to leave the house, find a baby-sitter or pack your suitcase. The Day of Genius is a virtual retreat, and all the magic takes place in a secure online platform. All you need is a quiet room (and a kind request to family to keep it that way), an Internet connection and willingness to learn and to share.

The Day of Genius Includes Four Five Inspiring Workshops:

Carrie Hensley - yogini extraordinaireYoga for Relaxation and Inspiration: To open the retreat, master yoga teacher and expert on women’s self-esteem and body image, Carrie Hensley leads you through a simple yoga routine to get your blood flowing, put you in the space for quiet contemplation and help your body to absorb new ideas.

FAQs

Where is the Day of Genius?

It’s in your home. Or your office. Or wherever you have a computer and an internet connection. In other words, the Day of Genius is a virtual retreat. The retreat itself will take place via live, streaming video, but it includes downloadable preparatory materials, a workbook and worksheets, plus you’ll have access to all the recordings to review at your leisure.

What kind of equipment do I need to attend the Day of Genius?

You’ll need a computer with an internet connection. If you want to ask a question or get some coaching/”hot-seat” time via video, you’ll also need a webcam and microphone, but this is not required – you can also participate via voice only. Plus there’ll be a chat window where you can type any questions or thoughts you have to share.

Will there be a recording?

YES! If you’d love to be a part of the Day of Genius, but aren’t going to be around on the 8th of January, don’t worry! You receive the workbook, all the worksheets and course materials, and a recording of all seminars, so you can work through the material at your own pace. (And even if you are around for the full day, you’ll have the recordings to review again at your leisure.)
