Here’s What Happens in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park!
Being outside is hugely underrated, especially for children these days. Take away the phones from before breakfast until after dinner and evening activities, and replace with hiking and discovering outside in nature. The park system programming is very well organized, educational on several levels, and engaging. Here are a few pictures of an outing of young teens I accompanied, along with several other staff members. I give thumbs up to the whole experience!
“Rest Is… The Retreat” was a wonderfully relaxing and resetting event for the ladies who participated in Utuado, Puerto Rico, October 2023. Many times, we just really need rest. Here, we also formulated solutions and approaches, using my Spiritual Care Plans ©.
Participant Feedback:
“Iya Babara is a sagacious vessel of knowledge. The information she provided during the Ellipsis Institute’s “Rest Is…The Retreat” challenged the way I approach self care as it related to the natural and supernatural. I will forever cherish my experiences of being in conversation and community with Iya as they have helped to shape, refine, and strengthen my own spiritual praxis.” –K. Smiley
“Working with Iya Barbara at the retreat was an incredibly grounding experience for me. Her trustworthiness and caring nature was evident as soon as we met. Through my work with Iya Barbara, I’ve deepened my connection with my own divine essence and ori. One aspect I truly value is how she guided me in cultivating a relationship with The Mothers and other divine feminine energies. Her genuine interest in the health and long-term well-being of black women within the community is evident in her dedication and approach. I wholeheartedly recommend Iya Barbara for anyone seeking a transformative and enriching journey towards self-discovery and spiritual growth.” -E. Phelps, PhD
