    • help you register to a private, password-protected (Souldancer moderated / spam-free) online resource. (This resource is yours to use - at no cost - indefinitely.)

Release Ceremony Day.

Begin today as if you've ALREADY released whatever it is you've planned to release.

  • Morning (optional) guided meditation at 7:30 a.m.
  • Breakfast smoothie any time before 9 a.m.
  • Workshop starts at 9.
    A.M. Revisiting the tools brainstorming and mind mapping - we'll explore what you wish to offer in tonight's ceremony.
  • Early P.M. (Post lunch): guided meditation to prepare you for tonight's sacred ceremony (to include a bonfire).
  • Late P.M. (about 4:30 through 7:30) - quiet time. Kindly consider how you'll spend about three hours without talking. Writing, hugs and helpful hand holding highly suggested

Tonight's ceremony concludes what might be FOUR months of amazing hard work - all depending on when you registered for this retreat. The ceremony is simple. It contains no request for you to do anything you wish NOT to do. If at the final moment you discover you're simply NOT ready to release what you intended to release, no worries! We'll celebrate your courage to say so!

The ceremony consists of:

  • joining around a space Souldancer has energetically cleared of all energies that do not support our highest and greatest evolutionary growth. (Souldancer does this during your dinner time.)
  • the ceremony includes a bonfire (or a fire in the fireplace depending on weather conditions).
  • once settled into a sacred circle, we'll co-create a safe-space so that we enjoy the power of ALL our energies.
  • Souldancer's 10 minute guided visualization sets the stage for YOU to finally, eternally RELEASE something you're intimately familiar with (based on all the work you've done).
  • When you're ready, you're invited to:
    • mindfully approach the fire,
    • offer the fire whatever you've created / brought (examples, writings, diaries, pictures, workshop mind maps, etc.),
    • ALLOW (versus force) your body, mind and soul to LET GO.
  • Once everyone has their turn at the fire, we'll continue our Chakra journey. Focus: Charka Four: Heart / Anahata Chakra (PERFECT TIMING! An open heart allows release - effortlessly!)

Beginning tonight, you're highly encouraged to increase your purified water intake. (We'll have plenty of water on hand. It's included in your retreat costs.) Why more water? The toxins you're releasing from this ceremony AND your national cleansing program requires a path OUT of our body! Water is the KEY!
