Awaken Your Heart
A One-Day Transformational Journey in the depth of your Heart to Reconnect, Listen to the wisdom within and Ignite the fire of Passion, Aliveness and Purpose
May 24th
Are you feeling an inner calling to...
To return to the wisdom of your heart...
to remember who you are... to reconnect with the sacred fire within?
Deepen your connection to the vast, loving presence of your heart...
and awaken the intuition, clarity, and inner guidance that lives within.
Remember who you truly are...
beyond old identities, roles, or limitations — and reclaim the radiance of your authentic self.
Release what no longer serves you...
untether from unconscious patterns, dissolve emotional blocks, and reconnect to your soul power & purpose.
Expand your capacity to feel, hold, and love all parts of yourself...
even the ones you’ve hidden — and embrace your wholeness with compassion and courage.
Be held in sacred community...
a soul family where you are deeply seen, honored, and celebrated just as you are.
You are not alone.
And you are closer than you think.
There is a vast, living sanctuary inside you — your own Heart.
It holds the whispers of your intuition.
It holds the fire of your aliveness.
It holds the remembering of who you truly are.
This is not something you have to earn.
Nor something to seek, try to be, or to even understand.
This is not something outside of you.
It’s already here in you, waiting — vast, expansive, tender, and powerful
— just beneath the noise.
It is simply to be revealed, received and surrendered into.

I attended the ‘Manifest Your Heart Vision’ immersive and was awestruck by how beautifully each experience flowed together. Cris and Madalina’s open-hearted energy and expert guidance created an environment where I felt truly held and supported; their gifts shine through in everything they do. The workbook has already proven so helpful in integrating the insights I gained. I honestly can’t think of a single way this retreat could have been improved—it was perfect from start to finish, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it!

Cris and Madalina provided a safe and powerful space to share openly, laugh, cry and dance like there is NO tomorrow! The result of all the work I have done with them in 2024 and during this Heart Opening Retreat has shifted the course of my life in ways I would never have predicted a year ago!

I feel profoundly safe to be myself within the spaces that Cris and Madalina co-create. Their circles magnetize heartfelt souls, fostering a community founded on intimacy, vulnerability, and trust.

I had the most amazing day at the ‘Manifest Your Heart Vision’ retreat! It was a beautiful process of opening our hearts to truly receive the vision of our future. The guided meditation through the four areas of our lives helped me deeply align my goals with my heart instead of just my mind. Cris and Madalina created a safe, fun, heart-opening space, and the energy of their venue added to the magic. I’m so grateful for this unforgettable experience—thank you both so much!

I experienced deep awareness of my own stresses, sources, and impact, and with the tools provided, I felt myself breaking out of unhealthy patterns. Their program is the missing link – it served as the path to open my heart and discover my authentic self. They created such a great environment for everyone to feel comfortable, be vulnerable, and deal with their own personal stress and patterns. Highly recommend to everyone who wants to evolve and shift!

I recently participated in Cris & Madalina’s retreat and experienced an amazing day filled with powerful energy. The entire retreat was a profound and life changing experience.
Thanks to Cris and Madalina, and all their support and encouragement during and after the retreat, I’ve completely transformed into an unknown version of myself with a lot of strong feelings about my capabilities as a woman who grew up in a foreign country with male dominated culture.

I was able to tap into the power of my intuition that yes is a clear yes, my body feels lighter and aligned, and I don’t need words to rationalize my choice. As a result, this helped me make two big decisions in life in the last month that have opened me to the joy, freedom, and love aligned with my heart and values.
I am so grateful for the insights, shifts and inner transformation guided by Madalina and Cris, for creating this program that the world needs, and for forging this incredible community!
This work takes practice and having like-minded, like-hearted people with whom to share the journey and the work empowers and uplifts us to be our brightest, best selves, enjoying our most wholehearted authentic lives. That’s what I want to model for my children and what I want for myself.

The one-day Heart Oasis Retreat with Cris and Madalina and “the fortunate 12” was welcoming and safe, magical and powerful, playful and delicious. As many shared their profound insights and our hearts had further expanded, a rich tapestry of community had also been woven such that as the darkness of night approached we all lingered, procrasting our departure!

I recently had the privilege of attending a retreat organized by Cris and Madalina, and I must say, they did an exceptional job putting it all together. From the moment I arrived, their warmth and dedication were palpable, resonating deeply with me.
Having been on a spiritual path for the past two years, I've delved into various teachings and learned from many different sources. However, Cris and Madalina managed to surprise me with new discoveries within myself. Their genuine care stands out; Madalina even took the time to reach out to me separately, sharing valuable insights tailored to my journey once she recognized my passion.
What sets them apart is their profound belief in uncovering the power within oneself through the heart. Their teachings focus on this crucial discovery, which I believe is the cornerstone of their practice. Unlike other experiences, they genuinely want each participant to realize their own potential.
Overall, my time at the retreat was transformative. Cris and Madalina's dedication, combined with their heartfelt approach, created an environment where personal growth and discovery felt not only possible but inevitable. I highly recommend their retreats to anyone on a similar journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Plus I like Cris’s humor which makes the heavy topic light and airy.

I am so excited to share my gratitude for Madalina & Cris and for the HeartQ program. I have been dealing with the same issues for so many years and it was amazing to experience and observe the patterns I repeat automatically and to shift to looking at them as an observer. I also realize how many times I act from an empty cup and how important it is to fulfill our own self love and dreams to authentically help others. The workshop gave me so many insights to shift these patterns within.
Madalina and Cris are great souls and facilitators - very professional and they put all their heart into it. The communication was amazing and they helped me as guides and mentors. Their own vulnerable stories make me reflect on my own and I’m more connected to my heart and my intuition. I feel very nurtured and their energy is amazing! Thank you !
