The world needs your gifts and your Presence more than ever - without distraction or overwhelm.
If you're recognizing a need for more intentionally cultivated time and space for yourself - so that you can honor the inner pull to more tangibly share your gifts - then the The Divine, along with the majestic Redwoods, are inviting you to come Home to yourself this June 22-26, 2026.
The theme for 2026 is being bold about taking inspired new actions based on your calling and your purpose -in a circle with kindred spirit practitioners, aspiring practitioners and fellow change makers, stewards, and conscious leaders and creators (or those who aspire to be).
Set at a gorgeous mountaintop retreat center in Northern California, you'll experience daily sacred ceremonies, guided creative expression, movement, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and spiritual ceremony, along with gourmet food and outdoor hot tub.
New Shared Room Option saves you $1000 (scroll to bottom).
Dates are Monday June 22 through Friday June 26, 2026.
8 total spaces - we are getting close to filling (there are currently 2 spots remaining).
Come unleash your Spirit with other empaths, conscious leaders, way-showers, and stewards - kindred spirits who, like you, are ready to more tangibly honor your inner pull to share your gifts with the world.
Joyously come home to yourself as we synergize, collaborate and receive the Magic that happens when we intentionally amplify each other's connections to Source in the tranquility and stillness of echanted forests and ocean hideaways.
The group synergy and Peace energy from daily spiritual ceremony allows you to receive a sense of CLEAR knowing- and you will receive a grounded dose of momentum, inspiration, and clarity on your life direction, purpose, and next steps to evolve your service, whatever that may be. Even if you have just an idea at this point, this is the retreat that will help you ground that dream into action.
With ample sun and a little morning fog, we will be walking through lush 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.
Here's what's in store:
- Daily workshops & creative experiences on sacred lands & beaches.
- Shamanic breathwork Ceremony to bring clarity around your intentions (New for 2026)
- Daily gentle stretching/yoga and meditation for all types of bodies.
- Workshops will ground your dreams into 3D reality.
- Authentic Native American ceremony & rituals
- Sound healing & frequency ceremonies
- Co-facilitated by healing practitioner Corrine Kinczel of Oakland, CA
- Delicious & nutritious organic meals included
- Optional hot tub 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 Spirit, 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 ideal self (and to other kindred souls interested in making the spiritual 'tangible.').
