Self as Creator: from Victimhood to Empowerment (Retreat within a 3 month program)

This is a 4 night retreat at a mini hot springs resort in the West Texas desert. It is not just a retreat. We will have pre-retreat sessions and post-retreat sessions. The pre-retreat sessions will give you the informational teachings and practices so you can start setting intentions and begin the practice of being the creator of your own life. Once at the retreat, you will already be familiar with the information and practices and be ready to dive deeper in an uninterrupted setting. The retreat itself is to relax, truly reset, and focus on your internal processes. Following the retreat, we will have follow up sessions to help you integrate what you have learned into new ways of being and creating in your life. I have learned from previous retreats that attendees benefit from learning ahead of the retreat (to free the retreat up to be just that, a relaxing and renewing opportunity for the beginning of real change). However, the most powerful part of the retreat is the integration that happens afterwards. We will have supportive sessions in the weeks following the retreat to help you implement the changes.

Using the psychological applications of Quantum Science, we will learn modern approaches to the ancient spiritual wisdom and practices. This program is in-part based on my doctoral research findings in Quantum Entanglement in Human Relationships, which can be applied to any relational field – including the relational field within yourself. Our goal will be a movement toward wholeness and increasing our non-physical abilities as creators. Accessing and utilizing your non-physical self (or quantum self) lends itself to increasing certain non-physical abilities. To name a few: clairvoyance (inner “seeing”), clairaudience (inner “hearing”), clairsentience (inner “feeling”), claircognizance (Inner “knowing”). I do not believe this is magic or magical. I believe these skills are natural human abilities that develop as we live in a way that integrates the non-physical into the physical. We will practice meditation styles that assist you in accessing and integrating your non-physical self into your life. In my research study we did these practices and measured what happened in participant’s relationships. We documented a statistically significant increase in connectedness, synchronicity awareness, and meaning detection. We also saw a decrease in attachment anxiety and avoidance while seeing an increase in attachment security. This retreat program will incorporate the types of meditation used in the study, but with even more individual support and guidance on how to integrate into your life and tailor your focus to meet specific goals/intentions. There will also be the opportunity to share your journey with others who are seeking a similar path. We are going to use what the study showed us and take it to the next level. As humanity evolves, our reality is changing rapidly. This program is aimed at increasing inner access to the wealth of resources available to be integrated into our physical experiences. True “entanglement” means oneness. Accessing oneness means you can be connected energetically regardless of time and space. This skill can be integrated into our time/space experience with a commitment to practice it. This is the purpose of the retreat and the pre-retreat and post-retreat sessions.

Pre-retreat zoom sessions: We will learn the concepts of quantum science and their psychological applications. I will share experiments that prove the concepts of non-locality, discontinuity, and quantum entanglement. In previous retreats, I have shared an overview of this information, but the pre-retreat sessions will allow us to cover this in more detail. The more you understand these concepts, the easier it will be to apply them, because you will know why and how they work.

Retreat: For these 5 days and 4 nights, you will live in a way that invites these quantum principles into your human experience. You will leave the patterns of conditioning aside for this time period and live as a creator: setting intentions for chunks of your retreat time, enlivening your physical and non-physical senses, moving between activity and rest in cyclical and conscious ways. I chose the desert as the location for this retreat because it is a healing place. The entire location is spring-fed, even the drinking water. There is a 10 ft hot pool and a larger cold pool. The water has a high mineral content, especially lithium. Lithium is known for it’s mood enhancement and sleep benefits. Soaking offers relief from body pain (reducing muscle tension and increasing range of motion) as well as skin benefits (reducing inflammation and promoting cell functionality). Some research even suggests that lithium promotes new brain cell growth and enhances cognitive functioning. Each of the three full days will start with movement (mostly yoga outdoors weather permitting). We will have brunch followed by a learning/experiential session. There will be time in each day for personal reflection, soaking in the mineral springs, hiking on the 640 acres of desert terrain, or napping…whatever supports you. We will have a second learning/experiential session before or after dinner, depending on the other activities. There is not a definitive schedule. These retreats are created to unfold according to the needs of the collective group of participants. I have a plan and an outline of how that will unfold, however, that plan is not bound to a certain schedule and I trust that it will unfold as needed for each of you.

Post-retreat zoom sessions: We will process your retreat experience as well as your experience of moving back into the context of your life, but as a different version of yourself. We will cover the snags you experience as you re-enter the context of your life and relationships. We will do the work of moving your new system back into the other systems you are a part of…and we will hold space for and observe evolution.
