Sacred Energy Activation Retreat

PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE TO SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2021!

Discover the Tools to Engage with Higher Consciousness

Michael Massey and Kara Goodwin are delighted to present the Sacred Energy Activation Retreat (or SEA for short!). This retreat will be an opportunity to dive even deeper into the waters of your soul to discover more of the rich wonders contained within you. Each and every one of us is something much, much grander than the limitations the five senses allow us to perceive, and this retreat will create the conditions for you to open yourself up to experiencing yourSelf from that more expanded perspective. Merging with all the aspects of Self allows you to transmute the pervasive energies of stress, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, fear, and so on which are products of a limited human experience, and birth into higher experiences of bliss, peace, knowing, joy, love, forgiveness, and acceptance.

In the Sacred Energy Activation Retreat, not only will you have an immersive experience into these higher aspects of your being, we will be creating physical artifacts to anchor in your experience during our breakout sessions. These items will be infused with the energy and vibration of the retreat itself, holding the force field of the high vibration we will create together. You will take these infused artifacts with you when the retreat concludes, so that you can continue to benefit from the elevated frequency in the days, weeks, and months that follow. You will also receive tools (physical as well as suggested practices) to assist with your spiritual and emotional development.

The Sacred Energy Activation Retreat will take place March 19-21, 2021 at Oakwood Retreat Center. https://www.discoveroakwood.org/ This beautiful space allows us to immerse ourselves as much in nature as the weather will allow, while also offering several indoor options for gathering. The grounds have many walking trails, an energy vortex where ley lines converge which has an elevating and healing affect, a labyrinth, fire pit, and more. Your retreat ticket is ALL INCLUSIVE! Included in your ticket is workshops, classes, guided meditations, Harmonic Sound Immersion with the amazing Michelle Qureshi, goodies, AND all your meals and accommodations for two nights. We will also have a few healing practitioners - acupuncture, reflexology, and massage - available for an extra charge if you desire to sneak in a special treatment during your free time. As for accommodations, all guests will have their own room in one of the various homesteads on the property, with shared bathrooms on most floors.  If anyone has special requirements for isolation, please let us know as we have a few options available for more extenuating circumstances.

Acupuncture with emily coles, L.Ac., ryt-200

As a life-long seeker of balance, peace, and natural health, Emily spent her younger years wondering how to create a life around these core concepts. After receiving undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Spanish, she soon realized that her true calling was to holistic health. She decided to pursue a master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and, after completing more than 2000 hours of training, became a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) in 2014. As her business grew, so did her desire to expand her grasp of the body-mind-spirit connection. In an effort to deepen her knowledge of ancient practices, in 2018 she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (RYT-200). In her personal life and in her practice, Emily humbly and joyfully works to combine her understanding of TCM with the rich history of yoga to help people find holistic healing and harmony in their lives. 

Emily is the owner of Shen Root Acupuncture in Zionsville, Indiana. She sees people for a wide variety of conditions ranging from women's health, digestive disorders, insomnia, and pain, to stress, anxiety, and depression (from daily life stressors to more deeply rooted emotional traumas and PTSD). She believes we all have the innate ability to heal with ongoing maintenance and loving support. It is an honor for Emily to play a role in assisting people on this all-important life journey.

45 minute Energy Alignment session: $85
In this acupuncture session, Emily will use a treatment known as "Buddha's Triangle" to help activate and realign the recipient's own internal energies. This treatment implements sacred geometric designs on the body that encourage physical harmony, mental clarity, emotional release, and spiritual expansion. Tap into your Inner Guidance and leave this session feeling lighter and more aligned.

Reflexology with ingrid Schwegler
My name is Ingrid, a nationally certified professional Reflexologist and Reiki master. Like all journeys worth traveling, I came to Zionsville, Indiana, after growing up in the French-speaking region of Switzerland, a country many people dream of visiting. I am extremely grateful to have grown up in a place with magnificent scenery, as well as a very strong work ethic.

Since my childhood, I've longed to help others follow their heart's true desire. I personally became involved in Reflexology and Reiki after experiencing the positive effects first-hand. I wanted to share this discovery with others so they too could understand what it means to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.

In many Western societies (Switzerland not excluded), we base our precepts of life fulfillment with the anticipation of outside events or things occurring, but we fail to realize that real growth and change start from within.

As a child, I always felt different; I was extremely sensitive and strongly connected to my emotions, as well as to other people’s feelings. Sometimes, people would say I was “complicated." It was just who I was. My parents did the best job they could to raise a child who was often challenging. They grew up in a totally different environment and as much as they loved me, they struggled to understand my concerns. Because I was only a child, I thought it was necessary for me to adjust to their expectations and value systems, even though they sometimes didn’t make sense to me and left me hurt and confused.

I quickly learned that life wasn’t going to be easy or straightforward. As a young woman, I was very unsure of my identity. I was trying to look at myself through other people’s eyes. And for a very long time, I tried to be who people told me to be. I followed their advice and tried all the things they suggested for my improvement, although somewhere very deep inside, I knew it wasn’t right for me and it wasn’t what I wanted. I kept thinking that maybe if I just try this one more thing, maybe it would get easier. I changed jobs, I changed relationships, I even moved to a different country, and I still felt the same.

Because I couldn’t identify with most of the people around me, I started to doubt myself. I so badly wanted to fit in and align with my environment that I tried to hide the true me. This led me to have severe anxiety attacks, where I was conflicted between who Ingrid really was and who people thought Ingrid should be. The longer I stayed in these environments, the more painful it became, and the more anxiety attacks I experienced. Until one day, I finally realized that it was up to me to take action and make some changes.

Back to that early point of internal growth and change, I had to ask myself some very hard questions and at the end, the answer came back loud and clear: “YOU NEED TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF." That was a turning point and I decided to make a huge transformation that led me to where I am today. One step at a time, I started reconnecting to who I really was. On my path to self-discovery and fulfillment, I began to view my life experiences as growth opportunities rather than hindrances. During this journey, I met many people who were much more like me, with similar values and beliefs.

And today, I would love to help you go on that journey to being true to who you really are and maybe start over in some areas of your life that are not fulfilling. I want to do this with you and for you, because I know how it feels to be different, to try and fit in, and be stuck on the inside and unfulfilled. I have experienced these things and do not think that anyone deserves to feel this way in their life. This is my heart’s true desire: to help you come out of your shell and be only you and completely you!

30 minute session: $55
60 minute session: $85
