A Wellness, Healing & Metaphysical Retreat
​Sunday, July 5 - Wednesday, July 8, 2026

Find your path. Experience true full body healing!
Everything changes when you finally choose to take care of yourself— this retreat is known to do just that! Get ready to experience full body healing through various self-care activities, workshop opportunities, guided readings and education from professionals, in a naturally healing environment (the beach is known for being one of the most profound healing locations). The ocean air, the rhythmic sound of waves, and the raw natural energy of our coastal location create the perfect environment to release stress, restore balance, and reconnect with who you truly are.

In today’s nonstop world, your body carries more than you realize—stress, tension, emotional weight. If you don’t take time to heal, it builds. This retreat gives you space to embark on self-care, time for rest, opportunity to realign your energy and fully nourish your mind, body and soul.

What to Expect:
(All activities are optional- participate in those that heal your inner self the most)
- Daily Yoga Sessions (balanced well-being)
- Daily Healing Workshops- A wide variety of topics... see the workshop section     below for more info (for wellness, increased knowledge and fun)
- Sound Bath Sessions (to realign energy & relax)
- Guided Meditation 
(to destress)
- Crystal Creations: Bracelets (for creativity, healing properties)

- Tarot/Mediumship/Astrology Readings (for discovery and insight..)
- Beach Relaxation (for peace & rest)
- Fireside Ceremony (set intentions)

- And More!


Each day is intentionally crafted to awaken your inner peace and power. Flow through deeply grounding yoga sessions, quiet your mind in guided meditation, and experience the profound energetic shift of immersive sound baths that help release emotional blockages and restore harmony within.

Go deeper with tarot, astrology and mediumship offerings to gain greater  clarity, direction, and validation for your path. Tap into the healing energy of the earth during crystal creation workshops, where you’ll design your own bracelet using stones aligned with exactly what your mind, body, and spirit need—whether that’s protection, love, clarity, or strength.

Everything about this retreat is designed to help you let go of what’s been weighing you down and step into a lighter, more aligned version of yourself. You’ll leave feeling grounded, energized, and deeply connected—not only to the world around you, but to yourself.

Healing awaits.. come join us!

Healing with Mother Moon:  Monday, July 6 (10:30 AM- 12:00 PM)
We will explore the astrological significance of Moon placements, and discuss the wisdom inherent in our unique natal presentations. Natal Moons carry much wisdom about our soul’s evolutionary goals and intentions in this lifetime. Taking a look at sign and house placements of our Moons unveils our reigning needs, secrets to happiness & healing. Whether you are looking for tailored tips for your own rejuvenation and sense of well-being, or seeking astrological suggestions for integrating and honoring your lifetime’s experiences, the Moon opens the door to a more nuanced and complete approach to healing.

The Five Pillars of Spiritual Power: Monday, July 6 (10:30 AM- 12:00 PM)
This workshop explores the five pillars of spiritual power through exploratory exercises, self-inquiry, and the channeled energy of the Soul 13 Frequencies.

Create Your Own Intention Bracelet:  Monday, July 6 (1:30-3:00 PM)
Participants can select their own stone beads and create a bracelet using their intuition. I will have a large selection of natural stone beads to choose from. I will also bring some stone books so the meaning and purpose of the stones they are drawn to can be studied.

Restore Your Light: Qigong & Healing Exchange: Monday, July 6 (1:30-3:30 PM)
Step into a deeply restorative Qigong experience designed to help you replenish, recharge, and rejuvenate—body, mind, and spirit. In this 2-hour class, you’ll be guided through gentle, flowing Qigong movements during the first half of the session. These practices are designed to release tension, awaken your energy, and restore natural balance. In the second half, the experience deepens as you are introduced to simple, yet powerful, one-on-one energy healing techniques. Partnering with others, you’ll learn how to sense, direct, and share healing energy in a supportive and heart-centered way. This portion of the class encourages connection, intuition, and the joy of giving and receiving care.

The Human Divine Design:  Monday, July 6 (1:30-3:30 PM)

Curious about what past life karma you are coming in with? Interested in exploring what Evolutionary Astrology can offer you on your path to soul growth? Just wondering what modern astrology is all about? During this session, we will be using real life examples (charts from YOU, the audience) to explore the power of astrology. Chart submission is not required; if you are interested in joining the raffle, please come prepared with your birthdate, exact birth time, and location of your birth. If selected, you will receive a live abbreviated reading before the audience (even if you’re not selected, there’s always something meaningful to take away from every chart we explore).

Part craft time, part sound bath, part meditation, you’ll leave feeling peaceful and confident about what you’re here to do. In this workshop, we’ll first activate your ‘left brain’ understanding of your Karmic Purpose via a simple Astrology introduction of your ‘Nodes’. During the artistic ‘right brain’ half of the workshop you’ll create a meaningful, visual representation of your Karmic Life Purpose, while a healing sounds help to guide you deeper into your soul’s hopes and dreams.

In this deeply intuitive experience, you’ll explore different aspects of your soul’s journey, gain clarity, and receive insight into your purpose and path. This session is designed to help you connect more deeply with yourself, expand your awareness, and access the wisdom that already lives within you. Journals will be provided to capture your reflections and messages.

Create Your Own Tree or Wall Hanging:  Tuesday, July 7 (1:30-4:15 PM)

The Vertical Activation: Traveling Between Worlds:  Tuesday, July 7 (1:30-3:30 PM)
The Vertical Activation: Traveling Between Worlds is a 2-hour experiential workshop where participants receive a Higher Self activation and are guided in building an internal energetic ladder that connects the upper and lower worlds, the cosmos, and higher realms. This structure allows for easier movement between expanded states while remaining grounded. Participants learn to access heightened awareness, intuition, and multidimensional perception through their own energy system, without external tools. The work strengthens the energy field, increases clarity, and creates a repeatable pathway for shifting states with ease and stability.

Yoga with yoga nidra:
This yoga class offers a balanced, deeply restorative experience designed to support both body and mind. The session begins with gentle centering and breathwork, allowing you to arrive fully and settle into the present moment. Next, the class gradually builds into a mindful flow of postures that emphasize mobility, stability, and awareness. As the practice winds down, poses become more passive and grounding, preparing the body for stillness. The final portion of the class transitions into Yoga Nidra, often referred to as “yogic sleep.” During this guided relaxation, you’ll lie comfortably while being led through a series of body scans, breath awareness, and visualizations. This practice invites you into a state between waking and sleeping.

Awaken, Release & Align A Transformational Experience:  Wednesday, July 8
(9-11 AM)
This immersive half-day workshop guides participants through a powerful journey of self-discovery, emotional healing, and intentional living. Drawing on proven subconscious reprogramming techniques, breathwork, and guided visualization, participants leave feeling lighter, clearer, and genuinely excited about the life they're stepping into. This is not a lecture — it's an experience.

Participants walk away with clarity on what they truly want, an understanding of what's been in their way, and a felt sense, in their body, of who they are becoming. Many describe the experience as feeling lighter, freer, and more hopeful than they have in years.

Finding authenticity through the Dark Goddesses: Wednesday, July 8 (9-11 AM)
Dark Goddesses are often misunderstood—labeled as vengeful or feared for their intensity. But within their power lies something deeply transformative. They illuminate the hidden parts of ourselves, the ones we’ve suppressed or struggled to understand. Through their energy, we can learn to set stronger boundaries, reclaim our voice, and step into our full strength.

Join this workshop to explore the wisdom of the Dark Goddess and discover how she can guide you in expressing, empowering, and even healing the parts of yourself ready to be seen.

During the session, the practitioner works with your qi (life force energy) using a combination of gentle touch, intentional movement, and focused awareness. Techniques may include light massage, energy channeling, and clearing stagnant energy along the body’s pathways (often aligned with meridians). You typically remain fully clothed and relaxed—either lying down or seated—while the practitioner tunes into your energy field. Many people experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or emotional release.
​

Evening Activities:
Fire Ceremony:
Gather around the firepit...Through drumming, chanting, and heartfelt offerings, we create a powerful container for release and healing. Whatever you are ready to let go of: old stories, heavy burdens, patterns that no longer serve...the fire is here to receive it all. Come with an open heart and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself and the world around you.
