Each day is inspired by an element: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit - as metaphors for your intuitive awakening.
We intentionally shape the retreat based on the energetic signature of our small group.
From guided hypnosis and subconscious reprogramming to psychic skill-building and embodied yoga practices, we move between shadow and light with compassion and clarity.
Fire ceremonies, astrology under the stars, desert hikes, tarot talks, labyrinth walks, dance, and energy healing - everything is designed to reconnect you to yourself and the wisdom of the unseen.
“This retreat is for the sensitive, the curious, the open-hearted mystic in all of us. Whether you’re new to your intuitive gifts or ready to go deeper into your psychic abilities, we’ll meet you wherever you are.”
