Denise Affonso
Denise loves life and all that it brings.
Seeks to live each day with much gratitude, love, divine joy and lightness.
Her mission here on Earth is to teach people how to do the same.
She has traveled to 50 countries, known different cultures and people, taken many spirituality and self-knowledge courses and retreats around the world.
Denise talks about the importance of working the shadows and releasing emotions to allow the divine essence to flow freely. Divine pleasure is available to absolutely everyone in the world, but it becomes increasingly inaccessible with our blockages, fears, thoughts, limiting beliefs and emotions.
She feels that life can be magical, with wonderful moments of simple pleasures, connection with people and with the Whole, travel, learning, teaching and healing.
Denise feels a deep connection with the Universe in the simplest moments of everyday life.
