Weekend Retreat with Award Winning Author Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

 Want to learn how to maximize your true inner awareness, achieve your full potential and lead a more content life?

A complete person is one who has added a degree of spiritual capacity to their life. This, along with other elements, will help you to achieve human excellence so that you are more apt to attain your own personal goals, maximize your true potential and lead a more content life.
