The redwood trees and forests of Marin County, CA are unlike any other places in the world.
The land is unspoiled and incredibly high vibrational. With sun and a little bit of morning fog, we will be walking through valleys, forests, and beaches that are filled with wonder. We will traverse areas that are not only spectacularly beautiful, but carry the energetic echoes and imprints from our indigenous ancestors. You will literally FEEL their presence as we call them into our ceremony.
And the magnificent majestic Redwood trees speak a subtle but strong language - and, in the absolute stillness and quiet of enchanted forests, you will HEAR YOUR OWN SOUL speaking to you.
The redwood trees' roots only extend roughly 3-6 feet below the surface. Where do they gain their massive strength and resilience? Through COMMUNITY and CONNECTION. They extend and wrap their roots around each other, which is exactly what we will be doing, together, in our own community ceremony at a sacred and stunning retreat center in Woodacre, CA.
Come explore your Spirit with other kindred spirit empaths & lightworkers - all who are ready to uplevel their consciousness to receive magic and miracles that happen when we amplify each other's connections to Source through each other. The daily spiritual ceremony allows us to receive Spiritual energy and Divine Spirit communication - so that you feel uplifted, your vibration will be raised, and you will receive clarity on life questions (and purpose).
Here's what's in store:
- Daily spiritual ceremony on sacred lands, enchanted forests, beaches, lighthouses, & ocean hideaways. - Daily stretching, gentle yoga for all bodies and abilities
- Meditation
-Breathwork
-Movement ceremony
-Authentic Native American ceremony & rituals
- Delicious and nutritious meals included
- Optional hot tub & sauna in the evenings
Our beautiful retreat center, Spirit House, is located in the middle of a beautiful forest at the top of a mountain - and you will feel elevated, uplifted, and inspired as we commune with the Divine, and each other, in this gorgeous pristine wonderland.
Most of all, you will feel incredibly close to the Divine, and to your TRUE self - liberated, free, uninhibited, and closely connected to your Spiritual Self (and to others just like you).

"Tears became laughter, releasing became freedom, blurred Channels became clear, strangers became lifelong friends. I would do it again in a heartbeat. This experience helped each of us to become more "Whole". Michael is the embodiment of a Lightworker and listened deeply with all 6 senses to each group member whilst simultaneously channeling from the Divine. There was no doubt that you can comfortably share "anything" about yourself and have him hold space for you with unconditional love and acceptance. He was also able to be vulnerable about his own feelings and struggles. He is fun and funny and he received occasionally comical messages directly from the Divine and shared them for us all to enjoy. His mission is clear and abundant; to help heal the world, one person, one group at a time by bringing together empaths, highly sensitive people and Lightworkers to open further to our inherent Divine Gifts." - Judy Johnson, speaking on the 2023 retreat.
Learn advanced techniques, practices, ceremonies, and tools to purify your energy field, transform your relationship with the Divine and learn how to interpret Spirit communication - all by communing with magical Nature Spirits at our incredible retreat center in an enchanted forest.
"Life changing doesn't even begin to describe it. What an unbelievable time!"
