Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depleted or disconnected or are you simply in need of a soul re-set?

September 19–23 marks one of the most powerful portals of the year. During this time, we are graced with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo, a celestial catalyst for deep purification and rebirth. Just one day later, the Spring Equinox arrives—ushering in a moment of perfect balance, where light and dark meet in sacred symmetry.

Together, these energies create a transformative threshold—an exquisite gateway for release, renewal, and alignment with the rhythms of nature and soul. 

Join John Homewood and Michelle McClunan in the breathtaking Hogsback Mountains for a transformational 4-day Journey of Self-discovery and Renewal.

You’ll leave with an open heart, a lighter spirit, and practical tools to navigate life with clarity, ease, and confidence. With a refreshed perspective and a rekindled sense of purpose, you’ll return to the world aligned, empowered, and ready to move forward with grace.

 Step Into Sacred Presence

Take a deep breath. Let the busyness of the day melt away.

Soften your shoulders, and for a moment, imagine what it would feel like to release the tension you’ve carried for years.

Picture yourself standing atop a majestic mountain, gazing over a lush indigenous forest. The sun warms your skin, spring blossoms gently surround you—symbols of renewal and rebirth.

You are grounded. Present. At peace.

Fully connected to the sacred, vibrant life force flowing within you.

Now more than ever, humanity stands at a pivotal crossroads. Will we continue down the road of fear (False Evidence Appearing Real) or awaken to Love as the path forward? As technology, especially Artificial Intelligence, accelerates rapidly, the call to nourish our inner landscape grows stronger. We must become gardeners of the soul, tending to what is real, alive, and sacred within us.

This isn’t just any trip—it’s a journey back to your true self. 

 A chance to release old patterns, rediscover your essence, and bloom into the most vibrant, self-assured version of who you are.

Are you ready to say yes to this one-of-a-kind experience?

Your transformation is waiting—it’s time to step into it.

Through guided reflection, heart-centered practices, immersive time in nature, and liberating creative expression, you’ll begin to dissolve what no longer serves you, clear internal noise, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Feel the joy of connecting with like-minded souls—fellow seekers of truth, trust, and ease. Imagine the deep bonds you’ll form: connections rooted in shared stories, laughter, and genuine support that will nourish you long after the retreat ends.
