WHAT'S INCLUDED

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF

Every day is the same day and you are ready for a change that could transform your life.
If you wake up every day and it's the same then this is your sign that it's time to change things up,
learn something new, and explore a higher version of yourself!

You feel the call to go deeper into your healing journey
You will have the opportunity to connect with nature throughout our time together as the land we are on sets the vibrational tone of healing because our retreat center is located on the edge of wilderness and it stretches all the way to the Grand Canyon. The mountain and desert life comes to life. There is so much wildlife here which could represent a spirit animal in your life such as the bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, humming birds, lizards, owls, and rabbits. Although the desert appears as harsh which coincides with being a human on this journey that it is easy to forget how lush a desert really is. Everything in the desert is so alive and represents being a living breathing teacher that teaches us to be aware, awake, and present so that you can be connected with nature. The sunrises, sunsets, and stars will make you believe in magic again including the 20+ constellations you will see across the night sky. The sunsets are a bright red and look as if the sky is on fire that eventually fades into greens and purples on a cloudy day.

You are ready to release trauma, stress, and fear
If this sounds relatable then our Transformational Breathwork to Sound Healing is the chance to tap into your subconscious mind which pulls you into a deep meditative space to be in the NOW. From a scientific standpoint every cell in your body will subsconsiously awaken. You will learn to block out any resistance so that you can fully be here in the present moment. In each breathwork session, you will be taught a different practice that could help you replace your morning coffee with breathwork or your road rage with breathwork. The transformation you could feel afterwards could be blissful, emotional, silent, or the supportive feeling of being in community.

You like to travel
Which is great because we're going on a day trip to Sedona to immerse ourselves into the vortexes, red rocks, and natural beauty that Sedona provides. The drive itself will transform how you view life because the colors are so vibrant it's as if we're living in another universe or planet. While we are on our day trip, Lana will teach you how to tap into the energy of the land and yourself with her Pendulum and Chakra Balancing practices.

11:11 Numerology
The number 11:11 taps into your intuition, heightened sensitivity to your inner knowing, with that it creates a oneness and connection with all that is.
We will provide you with education on numerology and life path numbers throughout our time together.

Community Cacao and Fire Ceremony
We will end our retreat with a Community Cacao and Fire Ceremony with pure Cacao from Colombia that is specifically sourced for ceremony.
The energy of the fire metabolizes thoughts, emotions, and to break things (or through) with the metaphor of the Phoenix rising from the ashes. This is where your journal will come in handy. You will write down what no longer serves you and put it into the fire as a ceremony of release. You will burn old patterns away or manifest what you want in this life through the fire so that you can experience more abundance and positivity into your life.
To end the ceremony, we will gather to chant, drum, and drink the cacao.
