A heart-centered weekend of magic, mindfulness, metaphysics, and family connection
Imagine your family surrounded by the calming rhythm of the ocean, breathing in the fresh, salt-tinged air of coastal Maine. Picture mornings filled with laughter and creativity, afternoons exploring a myriad of ways to support each other, and evenings that end with a shared sense of peace and belonging. Designed for families with children ages 6 and older, this special weekend invites you to slow down, reconnect, and share experiences that nurture peace, playfulness, and wonder. Here, families come together to explore gentle spiritual practices, mindful play, and creative rituals that open hearts and strengthen bonds. You’ll laugh, learn, and grow together, discovering new ways to connect with one another and with the magic that lives within and around you. Leave with renewed energy, deeper love for your family, and a lasting sense of peace that continues to ripple long after you return home. Ready to Create Family Magic? This is your family’s moment—the retreat you’ve been waiting for—where connection, creativity, and peace come together on the beautiful coast of Maine. At the Spirit of the Family Retreat, we’re not just offering a weekend away; we’re creating a sanctuary where families can slow down, laugh together, and rediscover the magic of simply being present with one another. You’ll leave feeling renewed and inspired, with simple tools and shared memories that will continue to nurture your family’s hearts long after you return home. Let the ocean breeze clear away the noise of everyday life as you open your hearts to joy, gratitude, and togetherness. Your family’s journey of connection begins here. Reserve Your Family’s Spot and start creating memories that will last a lifetime.

About the FacilitatorEva Goulette
I’m a creator at heart, first and foremost. As a three-time best-selling author on Amazon, I’ve woven together the intricate worlds of metaphysics and children’s wellness. Each chapter in my journey has brought me closer to the core of what I truly believe— and that belief has been shared with nearly a hundred Spirit Camp teachers I’ve personally trained across North America.
Looking back at the ripple effect of teaching and learning, I’ve seen spirituality come to life, guiding young souls at Dancing Jaguar’s Spirit Camp to a sanctuary where their spirits can be nurtured. Time and again, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of this program. It’s not just another class; it’s where children discover the profound connection between body, mind, and spirit— a connection they carry with them into adulthood, empowering every step of their journey. As I continued to witness the profound impact Spirit Camp had on children, adults began asking me, time and again, to create a program for them as well. That’s why I’m thrilled to expand these teachings into Spirit Camp for Adults— a retreat designed to help grown souls reconnect, heal, and empower themselves on their own spiritual journey. |
