Embark on a two-night, three-day retreat, hosted by Jessica Forsythe, a Master Energy Healer and Spiritual Guide, who believes the journey to knowing the Self evolves the Soul and raises the collective consciousness. Her process is rooted in shamanic practices and ceremonies, to restore the nervous system through breathwork, meditation, and energetic field expansion.
During this retreat, you will share in the beautiful offerings found in ancient wisdom and in today’s modern world. Connecting to oneself in this way will empower you to embrace who you ARE.
Jessica will lead customized modalities of breathwork and restorative yoga, as well as energy and sound therapies to heal the nervous system and the glandular system. Jessica’s sessions are designed to help ease the analytical mind while diving into the subconscious, and use this as a form of medicine. Drum journey meditations allow connection with your Soul and invite guests into deep remembrance, to set upon a path towards wholeness.
In addition, you will enjoy daily communal hydrotherapy and thermal suite rituals, daily movement classes, and plant-forward meals to help nourish and ground the body and mind. Each guest will also receive a $250 Spa and Wellness credit to be used towards spa and healing arts sessions that support your Inner Journey.
