ANONYMOUS TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST LIFE OF AN EMPATH RETREATS:

Overall, this experience was amazing!! What really helped me were the prep emails to get us in the right head space to receive more from the retreat. I was able to set intentions for myself instead of expectations which I found immensely helpful. I left feeling like I received a lot of information and also realizing I have a lot more work to do. I also enjoyed connecting with the entire cohort as it seems everyone had a meaningful connection for our individual journeys.

Irreplaceable. The experience was the best reminder of who I truly am, and taught me more about myself. Everything was so perfect - divine. From the place, to our group, to the teachers and sessions. And little moments of magic and surprise. In messages, gifts, and experiences.

It was amazing! I would go anywhere in the world for the next one. #gowhereyou'reguided :)

It's really hard to say which sessions I enjoyed more. The flow of all the sessions was really powerful and i truly loved Issa's painting session. I appreciated the down time to contemplate and journal, as well as spend some time in Santa Fe. I felt a true shift while I was there and felt a strong connection to the Light and with everyone there.

What will i get out of this service?

Unrelatable: Grief in a Soft Life Era, The Retreat, is being curated to define grief, reveal its many faces, and create space for a voice for the losses we have experienced. None of us will be immune to this emotion in our incarnation, and the sooner you create the language for it in your circumstances, the less likely you are to be crippled by its wrath.

Reset and renew as you disconnect from the outside world and extract all the healing benefits the desert affords you. Relax in the Caribbean hub known for its pristine jungles, rainforests, and Mayan ruins. 

When the culture of consciousness is mainstream and the value of self-work and rest prioritized, many of us are unsure where to level up in our personal journey, especially in grief. This profoundly in-depth experience provides a multicultural judgment-free space to uncover the energetic blocks within yourself and understand how the body and emotions work together to create your inner landscape. You will explore the freedom of expression with a dynamic art lesson powerfully rooted in native spirituality. Everything comes together as we combine modern and native approaches while discovering Belize through various excursions, spiritual practice, guided meditation, and deeply personal reflections.  

Grief is a stranger until it's not, and it’s hard to carry alone. The tools and experiences you allow to rise up in Belize offer a roadmap to dig deeper than fear of what type of grief you will experience as you understand that we are all grieving just a little bit, our entire lives. This retreat extends clarity and focus towards accepts of the people we have lost, the people we will fail, and the aspects of ourselves we have misplaced along our respective journeys.

Come learn how to lean into your soul-level truths and possibilities while freeing the heaviest part of your sadness, sorrow, or grief and emerge wiser and more attuned to the realities we all face.
