Overview

About this retreat

The world needs your gifts and your Presence more than ever without distraction or overwhelm. If you're recognizing a need for more intentionally cultivated time and space for yourself so that you can honor the inner pull to more deeply share your gifts as a conscious leader, lightworker, or holder of space for others, then the Universe is inviting you to come home to yourself over five delightful days. The theme for 2026 is being bold about taking inspired new actions based on your calling and purpose in an intimate circle with up to 9 kindred-spirit practitioners, lightworkers, and conscious leaders and creators (or those who aspire to be). Facilitated by shamanic healing practitioner Dr. Michael R. Smith, and set at a gorgeous all-inclusive mountaintop retreat center in Northern California.

What to know before you go

What's included

Come unleash your Spirit with other empaths, conscious leaders, lightworkers, healers - kindred spirits who, like you, are ready to more tangibly honor your inner pull to share your gifts with the world. Joyously come home to yourself as we synergize, collaborate, and receive the Magic that happens when we intentionally amplify each other's connections to Source in the tranquility and stillness of enchanted forests and ocean hideaways. The group synergy from daily spiritual ceremony allows you to receive a sense of clear knowing- and you will receive a grounded dose of momentum, inspiration, and clarity on your life direction, purpose, and next steps to evolve your service, whatever that may be. Even if you have just an idea at this point, this is the retreat that will help you ground that dream into action. With ample sun and a little morning fog, we will walk through lush valleys, forests, and beaches filled with wonder. We will traverse areas that are not only spectacularly beautiful but also carry the energetic echoes and imprints from our indigenous ancestors. You will literally feel their presence as we call them into our ceremony. Here's what's in store: Daily workshops & creative experiences on sacred lands & beaches. Shamanic breathwork Ceremony to bring clarity around your intentions Daily gentle stretching/yoga and meditation for all types of bodies. Workshops will ground your dreams into 3D reality. Authentic Native American ceremony & rituals Sound healing & frequency ceremonies Co-facilitated by healing practitioner Corinne Kinczel of Oakland, CA Delicious organic meals included Optional hot tub overlooking a lush valley Our beautiful retreat center, Spirit House, is located in the middle of a beautiful forest at the top of a mountain, and you will feel elevated, uplifted, and inspired as we commune with Spirit and each other in this gorgeous, pristine wonderland. Most of all, you will feel incredibly close to the Divine, and to your true self liberated, free, uninhibited, and closely connected to your ideal self (and to other kindred souls interested in making the spiritual 'tangible.').

About Michael R. Smith, Ph.D., Shamanic Healing, Ceremony, LGBTQ+ spiritual guide

For over 20 years, I have served as a spiritual retreat facilitator, shamanic healing practitioner, meditation/ breathwork facilitator, ceremonialist, LGBTQ+ spiritual mentor, and channel for healing Source energy. It’s my passion to help my clients to release blocks and connect more deeply to their inherent Spiritual power and intuition. I do this through mindfullness, shamanic breathwork ceremony, offering deep meditation, energy healing, intuition workshops, movement/dance ceremonies, and sacred indigenous ceremonies. (I am also a yogi for has been practicing daily for 30 years, and have taught yoga classes, although I am not certified). As a doctoral trained counselor and 'two-spirit' practitioner of indigenous healing arts, I am grateful to have been featured in documentary films, prominent podcasts, spiritual cruises, hosted retreats, and presenting at esteemed forums like The Omega Institute and The Shift Network, alongside contemporaries like Dr. Judith Orloff and Sonia Choquette. I would love to collaborate with you to bring my following across email and social media (175,000+) to your retreat in exchange for a percentage/per-person fee and running a negotiated number of workshops and offerings, depending on your needs. I am especially known for teaching intuition development and spirit communication, and I can share those offerings if it’s in alignment with your needs. Nothing in the world lights me up more than being of Service, while also having a travel adventure! In addition to running my own sold-out annual summer retreats since 2012, I am known for my down-to-Earth and lighthearted style that allows clients to build trust and confidence in their own spiritual connection and energetic gifts. I look forward to working with you, collaborating with you, and offering my skills to help your community become the best version of themselves!
