The retreat begins promptly at 7:00 pm on Thursday evening as we gather for the setting of intentions, preparing ourselves to enter a sacred chamber of healing, energy, and vibration for this special event.
Each participant will receive an attunement/energy activation from Alexandra on Thursday evening as well to help clear, balance, align and attune your energy, a perfect way to kick things off.
You will also receive a custom flower essence combination prepared by Alexandra.
Over the course of the retreat, we will do group interactive healing sessions. Each participant will get the opportunity to be in the center of the circle and be the main focus of the group healing session at some point during the retreat.
When it is your turn to be in the center of the circle, you will have the opportunity to share with the group your intentions or the area of your life you feel you need healing and support. If you prefer, you do not have to say this part out loud, you may simply focus on it quietly in your own mind.
Then, everyone else will focus their attention on holding space for you, supporting your intentions, objectives, etc. and begin to play whatever instrument they feel drawn to as you experience your own private sound healing created by the group energy.
Not everyone has to play an instrument. Some people may simply hold space by focusing on a prayer or mantra for example.
You may also receive some hands on energy work during your turn. In addition to Alexandra and Brandon, we usually have at least one other energy worker in attendance as this retreat tends to attract healers as participants. You will be asked whether or not you are okay with this at the beginning of your turn.
Taking a turn in the center is optional of course, but we do highly recommend it. It's an amazing experience you shouldn't miss.
We bring plenty of cool sound healing instruments including drums, gongs, singing bowls, rain sticks, and so much more. Most of the instruments are super easy for even a beginner to play. You can of course bring your own instruments as well -- acoustic only please.
There will be plenty of time to process your experiences, as well as time to check in as a group as to how we are feeling during the weekend as well as down time.
In the evenings, we gather by the fire to drum, chant, decompress, or just chill out. We go with the energy of the group and what the group needs.
The best part of this retreat for Brandon and I, is that we also get to take a turn in the center of the circle. That's right. We get right there in the thick of it with you -- opening ourselves to the healing process as well, and allowing the group to support us in our own healing journeys.
You may also experience additional activities during the retreat such as a shamanic journey, a sound immersion or aura, animal totem or flower readings from Alexandra as time and group energy permits.
On Sunday morning, we gather together for our closing -- playing music, sharing final thoughts, having fun and holding space as we prepare to transition back to the outside world.
No experience or special skills are needed -- only an open heart and an open mind -- a willingness to support each other with our time and attention.
The retreat is kept small so that we have adequate time for each person to take their turn. be
