Connecting with the Magic of Our Souls
A Transformative Retreat
January 16–18, 2026 • Santa Barbara, California
During this mystical and nurturing weekend, you are invited to gently remember your true self—to reconnect with parts of you that may have been forgotten along the way and rediscover the magic and wisdom of your soul. This is an opportunity to
return to who you truly are beneath the layers of everyday life.
Over the course of three days, participants will be guided on a meaningful and transformative journey of self-remembrance. Through non-medicine shamanic journeys, guided visualizations, nature walks, sharing circles, and creative experiences, you will be supported in allowing more of your authentic self to emerge, restoring a sense of playfulness, wholeness, and self-love.
The retreat is held in a beautiful, sprawling ranch house on a large private property in Northern Santa Barbara. The home itself is an integral part of the experience, offering a sense of sanctuary and support. Set on sacred Native American land, both the house and the surrounding landscape carry a quiet, enchanted presence that many feel the moment they arrive.
Come be part of an immersive and heart-centered experience where you reconnect with the beauty of who you are and enjoy the journey along the way.
