Discovering Your True Self
with Morganne Ashlie, M.S., LAc and Mitra Somerville, RYT 500
April 24 - 26, 2026
Our True Self includes peace, joy, unconditional love and inner guidance. We all have these same essences. These essences are unchanging and always there.Β Our minds and bodies are unique to each of us. They are changing and can be healed and transformed.
Weβll explore teachings, pathways and practices this weekend that help us bring greater awareness of and connect more deeply with our inner happiness and voice, and harmonize our bodies and minds leading to greater vitality and a more peaceful and productive life.
Weβll explore:
- Destiny/dharma: Hearing our true inner voice – informing our lifeβs calling and guiding everyday life decisions.
- Our ultimate identity: Practices and meditations to connect with our True Self essences – our ultimate identity.
- Body/mind Self: Harmonize, balance, heal, transform.
- Open heart: Living more with more patience, kindness and gratefulness.
- Emotions: Release, heal, create positive, beneficial emotions.
- Clear, positive mind: Transform beliefs to bring greater harmony, inclusivity and co-operation.
- Vitality/health: movement and subtle energy practices to increase wellbeing and vitality.
Youβll bring home new understanding and practices to assist you to connect with your Highest Self, stay more balanced, positive and peaceful in your daily life

βMitra and Morganne are a great team, I will come to any program they present.β
βYou will be surprised just how much this will help your inner peace. With some effort and patience and some work everyone can feel more at their center and content within themselves. Donβt wait to take care of your spirit/mind and the body will follow.β β Past Participant
βMorganne is very knowledgeable, accessible and good at creating a healing energy within the group.β β Past Participant
βMitra is a quiet, brilliant teacher who presents the material in a well-organized and accessible manner. He balances βlectureβ with practice in a perfect ratio. He teaches us HOW to do the practice and then we practice. I feel like I have tools to bring with me. Because we actually did the practice during the workshop, I feel layers of healing have happened already. Thank you.β β Maureen Anderson
