In today's frantic world, going on holiday is normally a short lived relaxation and for some solo travellers, maybe a bit daunting. The benefits of a holistic holiday last long after the suntan has faded and new friendships formed with like-minded people, last for years.
All the hard work has been taken care of - Your accommodation has tastefully been chosen, excursions booked, your relaxation carefully planned. All you do is book your flight and be open for a life changing experience. Our commitment is for you to leave your hoilday feeling relaxed, de-stressed, re-energized, inspired, moved and touched to return to your life with new life tools of your own creations.
Our workshop inquiries are designed for you to start experimenting in a safe environment. And with our professional onsite coaching support, you will feel confident to implement any or all the inquiries into your daily life and impact your reality in a more positive manner.

Journey to SELF
ACESO Inquiry Workshops with Marcel D’Allende

•Full Self expressionConsider that when we are in full self expression in all aspects of our lives, we are living as a Creator instead of a Victimto our circumstances (living in reaction). In this workshop we start inquiring into acceptance of Self and others and how to constantly be a Creator of our lives.
•Inquiry into LoveFirst we get clear on the distinction between love and relating! This inquiry will have you BEING love instead of feeling the conditioned love we have grown to accept. We will have a new awareness of relating with people, without expectations and non-agreements –no more disappointment and hurt. Part of this inquiry is a heart sharing exercise in the relaxing rice paddy fields. Experience the joy of sharing from the heart where unconditional love is found.
