Private Personal Development Retreat
If you’re like me, sometimes you feel pulled to go deep inside to explore the inner reaches of your psyche. You want the structure and guidance a professional counselor can give you. Here, you may schedule a private personal development retreat tailored to your exact needs. This is a deep dive to accelerate your life’s journey. It can be in-person in Young Harris, Georgia, USA or via Zoom.
What do you want to address in your Private Personal Retreat?
Maybe you need to heal emotional wounds. Or maybe you want to get clear about a relationship. Or maybe you want to heal from a physical illness or reduce pain or grief. Or maybe you yearn to deepen your spiritual intimacy. Or maybe you want to heighten your creativity and intuition. Maybe you want to create a job change. Maybe you are not exactly sure what you are searching for, but you feel a spiritual prompting to do a private personal retreat. I can help with all these things.
I’ll do my best to create a nurturing environment to make your personal retreat deeply meaningful. You’ll feel validated and buoyed up for being exactly who you are as YOU, your Authentic Self. You’ll come to believe in yourself more, and feel that you are worthy of a fulfilling life. You’ll connect with your divine blueprint.
I’ll pose powerful questions for you to contemplate. I’ll show you processes by which you can let your spirit and the Holy Spirit reveal answers to you. When clarity arises from within you, instead of me giving you advice, your insights will grow deep roots so your life blossoms with life-giving fruit.
We’ll do deep emotional healing so you can neutralize the subconscious beliefs and emotions that cause pain. When we work at this deep level, change comes more easily, like warm butter sliding off a spoon.
Location: 2 options
- We can meet in-person at Young Harris, Georgia overlooking the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Chatuge. The preliminary intake session will occur on Zoom. It may be helpful to have more than one Zoom session before your private personal retreat.
- If you prefer a virtual retreat on Zoom, we can do that.
We’ll discuss the type of activities and structure that will support you best. We’ll have a combination of time together and time alone … for healing, dreaming, meditating, reflecting, journaling, drawing, creating, and walking, or swimming in the beauty of Nature.
Breathwork is one of the tools I use for rapid transformation. If you want to learn about breathwork, Click here to read client stories and articles about Breathwork.
Fees: We’ll get started with an intake first session. Please email me to request a fee schedule for the intake session on Zoom and other follow-up Zoom sessions.
The fee for the private personal retreat is $1200 per day. 9:30am-5:30pm Eastern. We meet for two hours at a time, and take one-hour breaks between sessions. The two-bedroom apartment in my home is available for a nominal fee. Note: I have a cat, so if you are allergic, let’s discuss that. There are many B&Bs and other lodging in the resort communities of Young Harris and Hiawassee, Georgia and Hayesville, North Carolina.
You may schedule 1-2 days, Friday-Sunday. If you would like fewer than six hours a day, tell me what you would like. I’ll try to accommodate your needs.
