The Sacred Yes
A Soul Journey of Becoming — Summer Camp Edition
You’ve spent years showing up for everyone else.
This is the weekend you show up for you.
Tucked away on the shores of a quiet Michigan lake, this 3.5-day retreat invites you to step out of the noise and into the firelight of your own truth. It’s a playful, powerful, soul-deep homecoming—where you’ll reconnect with the woman you were before the world told you who to be.
Through story, movement, creativity, community, and ceremony, we’ll walk The Path of the Phoenix—a four-phase journey of personal transformation designed to help you reclaim your Sacred Yes.
This is not a weekend of fixing.
It’s a return.
A holy unraveling.
A cycle of remembering, reckoning, reclaiming, and rippling.
The Journey You’ll Take
The Spark – The Remembering
Who were you before the roles, the noise, the shoulds?
You’ll reconnect with your body’s wisdom and honor the story that shaped you through guided journaling, intuitive reflection, and an expressive art activity that gives you a visual reminder of the journey that got you here.
(Hint: it may involve scissors, glue sticks, and a whole lot of clarity.)
The Burn – The Reckoning
This is where the fire meets what’s ready to be released.
We’ll enter the “goo phase” of transformation—through sacred rage, grief release, and honest reckoning with the truths beneath the surface.
The Glow – The Reclamation
From the ashes comes your full-spectrum self.
In this phase, you’ll name your Sacred Yes, reclaim your voice, and practice embodying your wholeness—through movement, story, and radical self-expression.
The Phoenix – The Sacred Rippling
You don’t have to know what’s next.
You just have to honor what’s rising.
Our closing Phoenix Council invites you into sacred collaboration—where your personal transformation becomes a shared ripple.
This is where we ask:
What are we carrying forward—together?
How do we keep tending our flames—and support each other in doing the same?
FOR THE WOMAN WHO QUIETLY WHISPERS…
“I love my life, but I miss me.”
Let this be the moment you say yes to the life that’s been waiting for you.
