What if everything in your life the joys, the losses, the triumphs, and the turning points has led you here, to this threshold between what has been and what is yet to come?

Beyond the Veil is a three-day heart-led retreat at the breathtaking Skamania Lodge in the Columbia River Gorge, where the veil between worlds feels thin, and the whispers of the unseen invite you to listen.

 

In this sacred space of remembrance and renewal, you’ll be guided to honor your ancestors, release what no longer serves you, and open to the light of your truest self. Through ceremony, reflection, and heart-centered practices, you’ll connect with the wisdom that walks beside you and the love that lives within you.

 

Are you ready to step beyond the veil and into a deeper chapter of your soul’s journey?

YOU ARE THE KEEPER OF YOUR SOULS STORY

 

A WEEKEND JOURNEY

Day 1 – Opening the Portal

 

We’ll gather in our private tree house for a warm welcome into the retreat. Together, we’ll joyfully celebrate Día de los Muertos with a traditional altar, inviting you to bring a photo of a loved one, ancestor, or someone you admire who has passed whether it’s one special soul or multiple spirits you would like to honor and invite to walk with you along this journey. We’ll move into a gentle Death Meditation the first invitation to open up the weekend’s deeper reflections. The evening continues with a shared dinner, music, and dancing to set our intentions for the weekend and begin our passage beyond the veil. You are also encouraged to bring something that symbolically represents the person or people you wish to honor such as an object, or something they loved to eat or drink as an offering to welcome their presence during our time together.

 

Day 2 – Immersion in Nature & Soul Play

 

We’ll begin the morning with a grounding meditation before stepping into a day of adventure, reflection, and release. Our journey starts in the Aerial Park, a treetop obstacle course that invites you to move beyond comfort zones while reflecting on the stages of your life from childhood to adulthood and uncovering clues to your soul’s blueprint. Along the way, you’ll be invited to recognize fears, limitations, and old agreements that are ready to be released. These insights will flow directly into our axe throwing activity — a bold, symbolic act of letting go of what no longer belongs to you. If you prefer not to participate in the aerial park, you’ll embark on a reflective hike along one of the lodge’s nearby trails, using the natural beauty of the Gorge as your playground for introspection and discovery. In the evening, we’ll gather around the fire pit for a Ceremony of Vitality dancing, sharing, and engaging in a Rampage of Vitality to anchor joy, courage, and aliveness into your being.

 

Day 3 – Integration & Celebration

 

We’ll begin with a beautiful morning meditation to ground and integrate all that has shifted within you. Then, we’ll gather for a Celebration Brunch  arriving dressed in a way that reflects your new, empowered self. We’ll share a toast to fresh beginnings, honoring the clarity, joy, and freedom you’re carrying forward into the next season of life. Our time together will close with blessings and final reflections, sending you home renewed, inspired, and deeply connected to your truest self.

It’s about standing at the threshold of your next chapter and walking forward with courage, vitality, and grace.

It’s about seeing clearly the man or woman you’ve already become one who is happy, fulfilled, and adventurous, who dances in the joy of life, embraces their power, and radiates a sense of freedom.

About your Guide

 

Born in Mexico City, I carry the essence of this land deeply within me. Mexico is my home, and its rich energy flows through my veins, connecting me to the sacred spaces and ancient wisdom that have shaped me. In 2001, I moved to Oregon with my daughters. For over 22 years, Oregon has been my home  a place where towering evergreens, misty mornings, and the wild beauty of the Columbia River Gorge have become part of my soul. This land has held me, inspired me, and taught me to listen to the quiet wisdom of nature, shaping the way I guide others into deeper connection with themselves

My passion for understanding human emotions began long before I became a coach. After a tumultuous divorce in 2015, I embarked on a deep journey of healing and discovery, exploring the highs and lows of human emotions. Along the way, I uncovered profound truths that helped me heal and cultivate a deep compassion for myself and others. These experiences ignited my drive to support others on their own journeys of reconnection.

 

As a HeartMath Certified coach, I’ve trained extensively in scientific and mystical tools, including EFT, Reiki, and energy physiology, to help others achieve profound transformations. Through these modalities, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply powerful the heart’s intelligence can be, and how it can help us navigate the challenges of life with grace, intuition, and clarity.

 

I know every woman and man deserve to live from a place of inner peace, strength, and alignment with her true essence. My work is about helping women and men rediscover their authentic selves, heal from past wounds, and reconnect to the love and wisdom that resides within their hearts.

 

With the wisdom of my roots and the experiences I’ve gathered along my journey, I’m here to guide you to reclaim the life you were always meant to live – a life filled with love, joy, and deep connection.
