Spirit Rejuvenation Retreat Sat. Nov. 9 - Monday Nov. 11, 2024
Join with new and old friends at this wonderful retreat one hour from Portland, OR up the beautiful Columbia Gorge for two nights to invite an amazing experience of renewal, connection with yourself and lovely community!
Allow yourself to shift from the fast paced rhythm of life into attuning yourself to the natural flow of life energy, resetting your connection with yourself to support a more easeful, more productive and more connection filled experience. Remember and discover with mindfulness and fun your own spirit, listening to your deepest knowing and practicing in community to see the beautiful truth, the essence, the core of yourself and others. Recognize this beauty reflected in the world and bring your much needed light back into your community.

Group Mediumship with Anna Blossom - 11/9 , 7:30pm
|
Top rated medium Anna Blossom will provide a group mediumship and healing session. Powerful loving messages from loved ones in spirit will come though for a few people, all will witness, and all will receive healing. A wonderful way to open the energy and build trust and bonds within the group, this experience is one of a kind and beloved among retreat attendees. |

Prior to her mediumship work, she ran intergenerational women's singing retreats with her amazing songwriter mom, Connie Cohen. Only a desire to be in community is needed, Anna will lead you with joy into a deepening and expanding experience of opening our voices together through learning circle songs and rounds. |
Luminoso Dance Workshop with Erin Solveig - 11/10, 10:30am-12pm
|
Luminoso is an ecstatic dance and mindful movement practice. We begin with a guided somatic meditation before dropping into movement. The practice will move through various rhythms that are inspired by the elements & their related states: Earth, Water, Fire, & Air.
A Movement Journey is more than just a dance party. Rather, it's an internal deep dive that helps to draw up and move through the waves of our physical, mental, and emotional experiences - connecting us to a more open or authentic sense of self. |
Guidance will be offered using body awareness, breath, movement, music, as we travel through these various waves of intention. We begin by exploring the grounded nature of our spine & feet, moving into the depth of fluid emotion and expression. As we build, we fuel movement with more fire, passion, anger, and/or action. We close the session on a high note with elevated tones that are designed to inspire joy, empowerment, and freedom.
Happy Hour with All - 11/10, 5:30pm
|
Gather and enjoy social time to let conversations unfold and connections strengthen as we share laughs and plentiful food and drinks. There will be GF, Vegan, Alcoholic and non-alcoholic options for all. |
Chakra Integration & Gentle Movement Flow with Julz Atwood - 11/11, 7:30-8:30am
|
Enter the morning with ease and flow in this gentle activation and clearing of chakras. Open into the energy of the day, reflecting and integrating all that we have been experiencing and prepare for the energy workshop session with Anna. |
Energy Healing Workshop with Anna Blossom - 11/11, 9-11:30am
|
In a safe container, we will work with each other to learn our innate abilities to heal through our intention and our bodies. This workshop has been requested for many years!
We are all intuitive. Like our muscles, if we use and strengthen our intuitive skills, they grow and if we don't they atrophy. Jump into several processes and exercises to activate and practice your intuitive connection. |
We will lean into trusting ourselves and inviting connection with our own spirits, each others and loved ones in spirit. Some experience with utilizing your intuition is suggested but not required.

"The weekend was the perfect balance of meaningful, spiritual guided activities, camaraderie, self-reflection, delicious food, comfort and beauty. The icing on the cake was all the laughter and joy to boot. I left my cell phone in my purse for the weekend, left the world at large behind and within 48 hours felt healing that could have taken years to accomplish without this lovely retreat." -Erin McGarry 2018 Oregon Retreat |
