Welcome to Conscious Choices
Marlyn Farrell is a certified counsellor and a very experienced adult educator in personal and professional development. Based on Gabriola Island, BC., Marlyn regularly leads retreats at The Haven on Gabriola Island BC, and at Royal Roads University in Victoria BC.
Come to Conscious Choices Retreats to:
Have you been questioning your abilities and beliefs?
Do you think that you have more to offer, but struggle to imagine what that might be?
Do you run into the same old blockages when you try to find new ways of being in the world?
If you are at that cusp, if you can sense the forming of a new worldview, you are ready to experience Conscious Choices personal and professional retreats.
Change is an immensely creative process. You imagine new possibilities, and imagine how you will live through the change. Otherwise, you will fall back on the familiar. Conscious Choices programs focus on cultivating creative strength, and gentle self-discovery. Not only will you leave the retreat seeing new possibilities for your life, you will have learned a number of techniques so that you can continue to take yourself gently by the hand and consciously lead yourself through your ongoing transformation.
My commitment with Conscious Choices has been to work with participants to create an atmosphere that is safe and challenging, an atmosphere where people find the encouragement needed to move forward in their lives and become more of who they truly are.![]()
