Be a Hero, Free Reiki/Advanced Energy Work Retreat
/Have you ever felt like your world was completely going inside out? Where all the things you thought were your business and your responsibility to fix suddenly spiral 100% out of your control? Have you been investing all of your time, and energy outside of yourself, because it felt too scary to look within? Or maybe it was the kind of behavior you would not even consider?
This year was the 22nd anniversary of my whole life crashing… My first born survived suicide, and other near death events multiple times. Through that ordeal it felt like everything that I believed was crumbling in front of my very eyes, and inside every cell in my body. My whole life was devoted to my family. Every part of my days, and nights had one point of focus. My life was dedicated to creating a home, and life that was a loving, stimulating, creative, and educational environment for my family. I was very intentional from morning to night. From organic home cooked baby food since 1987, and extra curricular activities every day for any of their interests. Exploring the local forests of the Appalachian trail in outdoor excursions, educational museum outings, live music concerts from our local liberal arts college, all to support every need my kids had, to the best of my ability. Moving forward to 2001, I fell into the bottom of my barrel. Every single thing that I felt I knew about myself, about my goals, about my family life, about my existence was crumbling beneath me. Painfully, and to my astonishment my persona’s death lead to a transformational awakening that gave me the power to be more for myself and my children.
I started to embrace my spiritual gifts, because they were the only thing that was working in my life. My talented and beautiful daughter had completely lost herself. She forgot who she was. She was in a revolving door of emotional and physical self-mutilation. Also harming my son emotionally who witnessed the terror unfolding in our home. Her essence was taken away from herself, and from all of us. Desperation and tremendous sorrow scooped my baby girl to some far away land, with no sight of her spirited and fiery self. I had no spiritual teachers at the time, books, cassettes, or social media to consult with. There was nothing but me and god. I had nothing but a desperate hunger to help my first born, and my family to move through the horror we were all experiencing. When mental illness and addiction collide it is an ever consuming conundrum, to say the least!! I knew that I was the key to open a door. I had no idea what was on the other side of that door. But I surrendered to my higher power… effortlessly.
I bumped into the tremendous prejudice about addiction and mental illness, in our family, in our circles, society and most importantly within myself. I didn’t know anything about addiction or addicts behaviors. As my 15 year old daughter was in an excellent healing haven, nicknamed “the magic mountain”, by the clients and professionals working at the Caron Foundation. I began the humble journey to transform myself into a human sponge, and I started to learn, learn, and learn some more. It was a multilevel awakening, filled and weaved with many layers of surrender, complex trauma, aha moments, obedience, and a myriad of awakenings. Not only I was learning about addiction, I was for the first time connecting with shadow work by myself. Miraculous moments happened of divine guidance that was undeniable. I will never forget my ancestors waking me up because Jessica was trying actively to kill herself, and they wanted me to stop her. Many years later I learned the word, and what it was that I was embodying, I was/am clairsentient. That was just one of the “clairs” that I learned to work with and perfect. Little by little I began to trust my awakening process, my ancestors and guides. A sense of ‘knowing’ came over me. I had no idea how it could have gotten there. I was astounded and delighted, because those words, the knowing that I was incredulous about how it was finally working, and I could reach my daughter. There was no time for doubts, or energy to withhold what was effortlessly pouring from me.
More than two decades later I have been doing my very best to create a form of haven for multidimensional healing for folks that could not get whatever they needed out there. From the beginning the studio became a healing temple for me. I was the first to partake in its loving energies. And now, it is our healing and transformational temple. It started in my home, and for many years it has expanded into The Hive. It is my life’s work to hold space for all the seekers buzzing into the Hive’s door.
Uniting with, Hero In The Fight is a long time coming, to share the abundance of ways in which one can call home the inner sanctum within our hearts. Yes, there can be the ultimate peace and unconditional love waiting for each and every one of us, in search of everything we need. The Hive has been that space for the ones choosing to come in, and have the humility, and curiosity to say Yes for more. More understanding, more shadow work with radical compassion, more love, more security, more forgiveness, more healthy boundaries, and to allow our gifts to flow with ease and grace.
With true willingness to address kindly shadow work any person may open up all the doors they wish to, to create their own heaven here on earth. It is simple, and yet it is not easy to recognize, and take ownership of our shadows. That was a muscle that I consciously pumped every day to help my daughter to want to survive. And in the process of helping her I recognized all the deep work I had to do myself. She has been my biggest teacher. I had to face, and continue to this day facing, my shadow, much more gracefully now. Transcendence leads to spontaneous healing, and evolving into our highest potential. I have become a humble, and obedient guide for the ones in search to own their power. You are not alone doing the deep digging. We are all in this together. The journey is all about falling in love fully with ourselves, shadow and light, and the poetic beauty that the process allows us to emerge from. It is The Love Affair of our lifetimes!
There is so much beauty and vibrancy on the other side of deep shadow work dives. There is a whole life of embrace, so many amazing things to experience, and new people to be magnetized in a higher vibration of grace to be part of the ones willing to do the work, along side you. We are on a mission to Self-Compassionate-Empowerment. Our soul’s desire, here at the Hive, is to provide a smoother ride in your pilgrimage to Inner-Freedom. Are you in? Can you allow yourself into your own inner-sanctum? It is The Road worth taking, and receiving from.
Are You Ready for Your transformation? See you there!🙏🏽
