Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW

Cheri Flake is The Stress Therapist. Over the last 20 years, in her private practice providing counseling, coaching, workshops, hypnotherapy, and meditation classes, Cheri has taught thousands of people how to meditate in a straightforward, no-nonsense, highly engaging, and often humorous way. Cheri is also a Certified Master of Wisdom and Meditation Teacher, having trained with Davidji at Chopra’s Meditation Academy. Cheri’s mission is to teach meditation to as many people as she can because, in her words, “There is truly nothing better for you…except for maybe water.” With Cheri as your guide, the seasoned practitioner gets a brush-up in a whole new light, and the beginner has a clear place to start and a path to follow. Guesswork, wondering if you’re “doing it right” or finding yourself in intimidating settings, is over. You will learn why meditation is important and what exactly is happening in your brain during deep meditation, so you can replicate and improve your practice. More experienced participants will leave the retreat with new techniques and perspectives, and beginners with a solid foundation and the groundwork to handle the practical everyday integration of a meditative practice into their lives and how to make it a habit that lasts a lifetime. The benefits of meditation are astounding and you deserve all that it can offer you. It’s time to remove the mystery of it all and get a practice of silence into your life, simply, finally, and forever.
