******

We come together for a heart-centered gathering in the magical landscape of Sedona, Arizona, to step into the sacred. Join us for a unique opportunity to connect in a U.S. destination known worldwide for healing and enrichment of the mind, body, and soul. We immerse you in intentional experiences designed to create a more balanced connection to your higher self and bring together a group of like-minded and like-spirited women for an enriching environment of sacred healing, insight, and empowerment. We have intentionally limited this gathering to a small group in order to ensure an intimate and more in-depth experience.

Throughout this five-day/ four-night journey, you will have the fortunate opportunity to access a collective of teachers and healers with over 50 joint years of experience assisting individuals and groups journeying to their highest self and purpose. You will leave this retreat more heart-centered with a deeper connection and better ability to be with and step into your whole authentic self with reverence and a sense of sacred being. You will gain skills to continue leading with your heart and activating your higher self. You will also establish meaningful connections with like-minded women for further expansion, support, and the ability to be seen, heard, and loved. And, if you so choose, continue expanding upon the sacred sisterhood created through this beautiful shared experience.

What’s Included:

  • 4 night’s accommodations in an individual or shared room within a conscious living space centrally located to Sedona’s outdoor adventure, eclectic community, and points of interest.

  • The majority of meals and snacks will be provided and are vibrationally supported to assist you in your process (please see FAQs in the drop-down below for further information regarding meals and snacks).

  • An enriched daily schedule of intentionally curated experiences to cultivate and support the journey to living your potential through deeper inner awareness and connection to your higher self.

  • Free time to explore Sedona as you please and enjoy the eclectic art and spiritual community and its surroundings.

Melissa - Our Vulnerable Truths (Host)

Elemental Rhythm Breathwork, Crystal Alchemy Sound Bath, Intuitive Tools and Development, Chakra Activation Offerings, Guided Meditation

Melissa is a highly sensitive person (HSP), clairvoyant empath, spiritual medium, and an avid seeker of truths sharing experiences and tools gained along her journey and quest to expand consciousness. As someone who once felt lost on where to turn for understanding how to navigate her intuitive abilities and spiritual awakening, Melissa created Our Vulnerable Truths, an online community where other spiritually curious and sensitive people located anywhere in the world could have a safe, supportive place to gather, receive helpful information, and connect with others who are respectfully exploring energy, spirituality, and expanded consciousness. Once on a path to getting a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology, a series of synchronicities and an awareness of her intuitive connection led Melissa to shift course to exploring deeper truths beyond physical perception. With a bachelor's degree in Psychology, a published author, and over a decade of experience with guided meditations, she is also a blogger, certified breathwork facilitator, intuitive medium, sound practitioner/healer, and metaphysical teacher.
