Inner IDEA Experiences

 

 

 

"I enjoyed the people, excellent presenters, and the special uplifting energy throughout the entire conference. The quality of presenters did not go unnoticed—all were leaders or founders of their specialties." -Lindsay O'Reilly

"Inner IDEA creates a feeling unlike any other fitness convention out there. It transcends fitness into wellness, and becomes more of a college campus where everyone is majoring in 'energy work' of all types. From the included silent breakfasts to the special openings and closings, Inner IDEA really addresses where the industry is now and where it's heading tomorrow." -Lawrence Biscontini, MA, Inner IDEA Presenter

"What I enjoyed most about Inner IDEA was the overall freeing, opening and nurturing experience. With the new tools I learned, I feel like I understand myself better and will be able to more effectively steer my students inward." -Rebecca Tennant

"I have attended two Inner IDEA conferences and they have been the best conferences I have ever attended. The location and facilities were great, the smaller number of participants per session was a real bonus, and every session I attended was of immense value. Excellent job by the organizers. I can't wait for next year's conference! -Inner IDEA Attendee

“Thank you for such a lovely weekend. I enjoyed myself, learned a lot and grew both professionally and personally. I couldn’t have asked for a better time than the one I had, and I wanted to share something I thought others might find interesting. I noticed there were a lot of crickets around. In my room, in my fireplace—they sang me to sleep each night. I came home and looked up crickets in my Animal Speak book by Ted Andrews and just had to share the following with you. I hope you find it as fascinating as I did.

‘In China, grasshoppers and crickets were symbols of good cheer, good luck, abundance and virtue … there is about to be a new leap forward … life only becomes difficult when [you] refuse to move. Remember a grasshopper [cricket] always leaps up or forward. It doesn’t leap backward.’

Have a very happy year taking forward leaps and listening to the Inner IDEA voice—yours! See you next year.” - Lisa Ungerer
