~ Creation Retreat ~
Santa Fe, NM ~ November 4th - 12th 2024
In the silent place of our shared Heart aliveness blooms ceaselessly
We cannot hear in the ruckus
We cannot find it in the thoughts
We heal our way back to the origin of Life one breath
one acknowledgement
one glimpse at a time
Creation blossoms in the still and holy place of our shared Heart, in the root of our Being, and brings Light to every cell of our body/mind as perception changes.
As Love is remembered.
The essence of Creation Retreat is to move us all towards the experience of body, mind, heart and soul as the innocent Life energy we are, unhindered and free.

Dear Friends,
I want to extend an invitation to join Lauren and me for our upcoming retreat in the New Mexico, USA. This in person embodiment retreat will include education with trauma informed daily embodiment practices, that open the heart and support the liberation of conditioning around sexuality, sensation and feeling, allowing shame to be released, revealing deeper Peace and a restored sense of true freedom.
Daily Breathwork practices will support the release of contracted emotion and the return to embodied aliveness.
Movement, play, nature and conscious community will grow our remembrance of the timeless vibration of innocence.
Who are we inviting?
Both Friends we have met and new Friends whom we haven’t met, who hold devotion to unwinding the mind/body back to Innocence and living in the grace stream that is our birth right.
Those who feel a yearning, a shared desire for nothing less than the remembrance of who we truly are. Companions who want to walk together into the previously veiled landscape of the living soul.
Come as you are, from wherever you are. There are no requirements beyond this.
Whatever your relationship to your body, to sex, to sexual orientation or gender. We welcome you.
Sexual wounding is one of the deepest layers of shadow that resides in our collective consciousness and is responsible for much pain and destruction from innocent ignorance. Lack of education, suppression, fear of self/other, can breed chaos in our world.
What truly matters is the devotion to Love and the willingness to open to Life Energy and a desire to embrace more of your own aliveness, whatever that may look like for you. There are no expectations or desired outcomes beyond the increase of Love and Life through body and mind.

Lauren and Israel
Lauren and Israel have a combined 28 years of experience working with others in the field of spirituality, yoga and Tai Chi and in the last 7 years breath-work and somatic sex education.
They are both trauma informed and Israel is IFS informed.
They have both been students and teachers of the spiritual pathway Way of Mastery for many years.
This universal, pathway has been coined by friend and internationally known yoga teacher, ACIM teacher and Harvard graduate student of psychology Philip Urso, as possibly the greatest spiritual texts ever.
Way of Mastery gives evidence backed mindfulness tools, that when applied give opportunity to correct the mind, heal the heart and awaken the soul.
The growth and direct experience that comes from applying the Laws of God, informs Lauren and Israel’s offerings and how they compassionately approach holding space.
Lauren and Israel are committed to offering this embodiment work in grounded, evidence backed, safe-enough containers where we all learn together in community and in equality, where diversity and choice is celebrated.
Embodiment practices that will be offered at this retreat:
* Clothing optional yoga
* Breathwork
* The Wheel of Consent by Dr Betty Martin
* Exploration of the Innocence of Desire
* Mindful genital mapping education on vulva and penile anatomy and bringing the whole body back to neutrality through mindfulness practice.
* Mindful De-armouring practices
* Education on sexual energy from a perspective of human sexual impulse as well as Creation energy as pure, impersonal, Intelligent Life force.
* Education on how the body stores trauma/ and the celebration of choice and voice
* Aligned boundary setting
* Conscious communication practices.
* Polyvagal Theory by Dr. Stephen Porges
* Conscious -one way touch- practices
Many of the retreat practices are designed for participants to receive from each other in pairs in clear intentional containers. Taking turns giving and receiving.
As somatic ruptures often occurs relationally, repair can be most effective when also experienced relationally in a safe-enough space.
All embodiment practices are evidence backed and optional. (And clothing is welcome to stay on throughout!)
All embodiment practices are optional, you may not feel called to participate in all practices, and we celebrate this.
We celebrate that we all have our inner authority and all know what’s best for each of us when we are supported in just right ways.
One of the guidelines of retreat is unless you come with your partner- there are no new couple bondings during our retreat together. (No having sex with new people you meet during our retreat time together)
This keeps the focus on the whole.
No recreational drugs or alcohol during our time together. The last evening we will all go for a celebratory dinner at an amazing gourmet local restaurant called Izunami and here alcohol with dinner will be welcome as our time together will be coming to a close.
A visit to Temple Canyon Sanctuary is also scheduled. A wonderful opportunity to savour the pure stillness and timeless nature that abides in this sacred land. And on the way back a visit to the legendary healing waters of Ojo Caliente hot springs. Our final evening together we will dine at upscale Izunami in the casual Japanese inspired atmosphere of 10,000 waves.
