You are invited to escape for a weekend that is designed just for you!  You are invited to answer the call that you’ve been hearing, the one that’s stirring deep down in your soul. You are invited to step into sacred wounds with grace, and release what no longer serves you. You are invited to an experience that allows you to listen to that still small voice inside…to learn ways to live with higher purpose and intention… to heal, to transform, to grow. You are wholeheartedly invited… I hope you will join us! 

We are at a critical, yet amazing time in history. I believe we are on entering a great cosmic shift that supports human evolution like never before. While sometimes it feels the whole world is off-center, I believe we are on course for something magical! But we need to be ready. We need to do our part. Each one of us being called to live with higher purpose and intention. We are being asked to bring Light into all darkness and to learn how we can shift the low-frequency energies that dance around us. That means clearing our own energy of old wounds—stored up heartaches and resentments. Practicing forgiveness of self and others. Letting go with compassion. Whether you are going through some sort of life transition or just ready to step onto a path of deep, transformative personal growth and healing, we welcome you.

During this retreat, you will experience…

• A 4-day weekend at the beautiful Bend of Ivy Lodge in Marshall, NC.
• A unique experience of being seen and heard on a deep soul level, perhaps for the first time in years.
• Individual coaching/processing that will increase your growth and awareness.
• The opportunity to listen to the wise voice of your heart and awaken the deep authentic parts of yourself that have been left behind or buried in layers of protection.
• Quiet time for personal reflection to assist in your awakening through rest, relaxation, solitude and nature.
• Our signature Song and Stories Laser Coaching Experience that will deepen your healing experience and raise your awareness and authenticity.
• Amazing meals prepared by our own personal chef — all made with intention and love and pure ingredients (special dietary requests can be honored).

“I hope there are days when your coffee tastes like magic, your playlist makes you dance, strangers make you smile, and the night sky touches your soul.  I hope you fall in love with being alive again.”

• Fire Ceremonies to release old mindsets and blocks that hold us back.
• Plenty of laughter because it’s so good for the soul.
• Spirit Walks in the beautiful nature surrounding the Lodge. I’m always so amazed at how this land supports the work we do.
• An amazing group of like-minded women who are waiting to celebrate the best parts of YOU, while forming lasting soul-soothing friendships.
• The chance to create a life-plan that will remind you of your gifts and talents, provide a clear vision of where you want to go next, support as you begin to navigate through fears and blocks and courage to live your life out loud… to be UNSTOPPABLE!
• We will create a Sacred Soul Portrait to capture the essence of your authenticity and message from your soul.
• The opportunity to work with stuck energy through the Somatic Experience Technique.  The Somatic Energy Technique is designed to release stored up trauma from your nervous system.
• The opportunity to have an amazing, beautiful and intuitive massage that leaves you in a state of pure bliss.

About your Retreat Team

Jenny’s clients come to her for support as they go through life transitions, or for direction while on their own personal healing journey. Whether considering marriage or divorce, starting a new job or moving to a new community, experiencing grief, healing old emotional wounds, or simply seeking way to live an intentional and purposeful life, Jenny’s clients come to retreats to find a spiritual path that supports their continued journey of personal growth. During her retreats, clients may experience profound healing and transformation.

Bob is participating in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) training with Terry Real, giving him unique and effective tools to use with couples. Bob has a beautiful way of creating safe space and helping others connect the dots between their wounds and their walls. He is trained and experienced in identifying family patterns and going to the root of dysfunction. He also brings deep compassion into the process of releasing old patterns and then aligning to new healthy patterns. Bob provides a supportive role during our retreats and loves witnessing the magic and mystery of the process. He brings his big heart, hard-earned wisdom, and compassionate spirit to everyone he meets.

“Our commitment to you is to provide a safe, healing, nurturing, deep, soul-level experience that will leave you feeling blessed, renewed, and honored for who you are in the world.”

Bob and Jenny make a great team! Aside from raising five children and running Bob’s practice together, they have been married for 36 years and worked their way through the challenges that come with a busy and active life. Their journey together has provided them with experience, wisdom and empathy for those going through similar challenges and experiences in life.

Together, Bob and Jenny provide a setting for a unique growth process for each person at the retreat to support experiencing deep healing and insightful awareness while discovering balance in mind, body and spirit.

Beautiful Bend of Ivy Lodge

The space we do our work in is as important as any member of our team. This land holds a story too! The Lodge itself was an old barn that has been given new life. Much like us, sometimes it takes someone else to see our possibilities! The Lodge is home to so much deep healing and transformation that it literally encourages growth and the release of limiting thoughts in its very existence. The land around the Lodge is equally as supportive and transformative. 63 acres of breath-taking beauty! Come be part of the mystery and magic of Bend of Ivy!

Note: Cancellation Policy: Due to the amount of preparation and personalization that we offer at our retreats, we regret that we cannot refund your retreat fee if you cancel within six weeks of the retreat. If you need to cancel, we will refund your entire fee if that happens prior to six weeks AND we find someone to take your spot. We hope you understand. We put so much into this experience for you that you literally become irreplaceable! We also keep our retreats small and intimate in order to provide this level of individualization. In short, you matter. You are important. You are deeply valued. So we want you to be there! Thank you for understanding this policy and respecting the quality of the experience we create for you!

 If you’re ready, I just want to say to you…

“Step away from all the limelight of your drama and stories, and step into your own light! You are so very powerful! When you put your heart and authenticity out into the world, you make the biggest and grandest contribution ever!”

Is it possible to live a life full of passion, purpose, and possibility in today’s world? In this economy? Under these circumstances? Oh yes! Yes indeed!! Not only is it possible, it is undeniable.

I believe that is it virtually IMPOSSIBLE for you to fail when you learn how to open your heart, live from your truth, and stand in your own personal power! When you align with your soul’s purpose and open your heart to receive, anything is possible!

So, let’s get started, okay? Let’s connect. Let’s hold hands and take the proverbial LEAP! I promise to be there when the net appears and celebrate the freedom and JOY that awaits you!

Blessings,

Jenny and Bob
