REDWOOD RENDEZVOUS

Transformation & Joy in one of the most beautiful places on Earth....

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.

"Michael, as I am sitting here this morning ready to depart, I have so much gratitude and emotion overcoming me, I need to let you know how much I am thankful. Giving us a safe space to be ourselves, to learn, to heal and transform is what makes what you accomplished and what we all accomplished this weekend so magical. I never had such a truly spiritual experience."
- Janine
"Tears became laughter, weakness became strength, 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 an "Angel" in a human body! He is so obviously tuned in to the Divine at all times. He listened deeply with all 6 senses to each group member whilst simultaneously channeling from the Divine. That was a wonder to behold for me and I believe for all of us! There was no doubt that you can comfortably share "anything" about yourself and have him hold space for you with unconditional love and acceptance." - JUDY JOHNSON
"This retreat was a Godsent and a breath of fresh air. I am so thankful for my ability to listen to my higher self and obey what my soul needed. I walked into this retreat confused seeking answers and walked out reborn and excited OWNING all the parts of me to attract love, peace, abundance, and live a life of flow and happiness. Take the leap you will not regret it!"  
- Warren Augustin, Texas
"The retreat was transformative and unlike anything I have ever experienced before. It was a culmination of true human interaction, time and space with my higher self and with that of others. Exposure to traditional practices that I would've never had the opportunity to witness or participate in; they were full circle moments where I felt connected to ancestors and generations before me. A peace with what was, a removal of expectation and fear for what may be, and an openness and space to just be right now. We each walked through fears, sat in the space of grief, danced, cried in pain and in joy. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat."  
- T. G.
"Michael has created a safe space for sensitive people to gather and learn to work with their gifts in a non-overwhelming, hands-on way that is unique in my experience. Learning to be vulnerable and to connect with other people in that vulnerability is a powerful thing and difficult when one is so sensitive to energy from others. In my opinion, unravelling established patterns of distrust and overwhelm is the first, very important step to learning to work with the empath gifts and this retreat really went a long way to that end."
- B. R.
"I am still in awe and gratitude for the incredible weekend and the energy your poured into us. Love and transformation was abound. It continues to ripple. You have taught and reminded me to take pause. I am grateful for you and thank you for the blessings you bestowed on our entire group." 
- Jennifer
