Remembering Forward
​- A NeuroMystic Retreat​ -

"A Retreat for Insight, Healing, and Forward Movement"

Welcome to Ferry Beach—and a transformative retreat for those ready to reconnect with themselves in a deeper, more meaningful way.

From time to time, life asks us to pause…
to step out of the noise, the roles, the expectations-
and return to something quieter, wiser, and already within us.
This retreat offers exactly that.

Over the course of this immersive retreat, we’ll explore powerful inner work using a blend of hypnosis, symbolism, and intuitive practices that are both grounded and deeply transformative.
​
Our work together includes:
  • Resourceful Regression – reconnect with inner strengths, resilience, and wisdom
  • Affirmations & Goal Setting – create change that actually sticks
  • Understanding Symbols and Universal Support – see your patterns through a wider lens of timing and meaning. 
  • Tarot & Metaphor – use symbolic language to unlock insight and perspective
  • Past Life Regression – access the deeper layers of memory, meaning, and soul narrative.

Continuing Education
CEU credits are available for:
  • Therapists
  • Coaches
  • Hypnotists
(Details provided with registration upon request)

Meals & Lodging
Relax—everything is taken care of.
  • All meals are prepared onsite by chefs & served in the dining hall
  • Lodging options include cottages, dorm-style rooms, and campsites
  • No cooking, no cleaning—just space to focus on yourself

Location:
Ferry Beach is a beachfront retreat center in Saco, Maine, offering 32 acres of natural beauty, gathering spaces, and over 1,000 feet of shoreline.
​
It’s close enough to get to easily--
and far enough to feel like a true getaway.

Make Yourself a Priority!
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to pause, reflect, and realign…
This is it.
Join us for a retreat that meets you with vision and helps you move forward with clarity, strength, and a deeper connection to yourself and new skills to take home to friends, family and clients.

You don’t have to figure everything out.
You just have to show up.
