Doing the healing work in a retreat setting allowed me to receive healing for myself, but the greatest gift was the witnessing of others on their paths in this vulnerable setting. By coming together with others, I was able to witness the collective sorrow, surrenders, joy, and strength, of self and fellow travelers. It reminded me of the connection to the collective journey. This retreat left me feeling clear: mind, body, and spirit, and with the courage to reignite the flame within myself.

Stacey created and maintained a retreat that evolved, and continues to evolve, exponentially through each person that attended. The environment was warm and welcoming, and a sense of passion shown through in the effort it took to make the retreat happen. For some of us, it was our first time meeting others in attendance, however, given the space that was created and the nature of the activities that we participated in, we all seemed to connect like old friends; sharing stories, offering clarity and insight, detailing emotions, and listening deeply to others’ experiences. This retreat offered me a perspective of spirituality that I had not yet considered fully, which is the necessity and irreplaceability of reaching out to others, asking for help, and giving to your community that which you want to receive. I am so grateful to have been there and can’t wait to attend more of Stacey’s retreats in the future.
