Private Retreats and Group Intensives

There are times along the journey when we feel the need to escape from the busi-ness of work and ordinary life and go deeply within in order to reconnect with the deepest parts of ourselves. This yearning is the heart's way of calling us into balance and harmony. Private Retreats offer the space to do several private sessions and ceremonies as well as to rest, self reflect and care for ourselves. They can be arranged in your own home or another convenient location.

At other times, our awakening process needs more intensive work than regular sessions so group intensive retreats create the necessary safe sanctuary. For those more interested in the extraordinary explorations into consciousness, intensive retreats in Nature provide unique journeys in to the heart of Great Mystery.

Each experience is unique. There is no formula or program for a typical private retreat or group intensive. The work may include a series of sessions or ceremonies, with the choice of modalities dependant upon the retreat location, the theme for the work, the individual's intentions and the time and individual's ability to integrate the work.

I suggest you plan some quiet time to integrate after any private retreat or group intensive as it can take a while to settle yourself after a deep level of transformation.


PRIVATE RETREATS

The work during private retreats is by individual design and may include various forms of  sessions, sandplay, breathwork, shamanic ceremonies and tantra, with plenty of time for silence, meditation, to let go, sleep and dream. We often work without structured appointments, following the true flow of what is needed at the time with a focus on self nurturing. See taking care of yourself before and after sessions.

When we arrange to do a private retreat in your home, we follow the true flow of what is needed as it is needed, timing the work to the natural rhythms of life. Depending upon our joint circumstances, I may stay with you or I may choose accommodations close by.

INTENSIVE GROUP RETREATS

The intense color of consciousness

Intensive group retreats are usually 5 DAYS: arriving the afternoon before. 3 days of ceremony with another day to integrate. Beautiful places are usually chosen in the heart of Nature or by request in the home of someone in the work.

International journeys are organized in conjunction with my husband Alan Leon of Sacred Heritage Travel, who is very experienced in this work. In addition to the intensive retreat, additional side journeys to other locations are usually available.

DATES FOR INTENSIVE RETREATS IN 2012:

April 21 - 27: $2,400 Near Pucallpa, Peru: Earth Day and Intensive Retreat with the Shipibo tribe

The depth of the work expands to fit the time available and over the course of a retreat, you can really let go. Intensive retreats allow you to dive deeply into many experiences that cannot be reached in ordinary sessions. You can unravel ancient tangled emotions, face difficult life decisions, develop an unassailable relationship with Nature, learn to play in many realms, alter the course and direction of your life and find peace of heart.

Experiences of extraordinarily beautiful places in Nature can change the very fabric of our Being. Intensives give you concentrated time to share the richness of growing consciousness in community with fellow journeyers, and as we do so, the natural web of connection that is created supports us long after the experience is over.
