Retreat Highlights
A Calling to Go Within
This is an immersive retreat designed for those drawn to explore their past-lives, connect with sacred land, and uncover the mysteries of the ancient lost civilizations.
This transformative weekend invites you to reconnect with your multidimensionality, embody more of your Higher Self, and integrate your unique perspective into the group experience.
This sacred journey is designed for individuals who wish to live in connection as much as they can, and can also recognize that sometimes that's hard to do.
You don't have to be anything other than who you are. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to pretend like you are all love and light. Your wholeness is welcomed, your honesty is refreshing, your presence is cherished. It takes courage to be yourself.
Wherever you are in the eb and flow of life come May, know that you are welcomed, invited, and very much needed if you feel the call to participate.
Who is Leading This Retreat?
This retreat is hosted by Katie Christensen, who will be facilitating the journey for everyone. Katie is a past-life regressionist, hypnotist, intuitive, and pilot. All of you is welcomed. You will be met with compassion, understanding, and encouragement to embrace your authenticity as she supports you on your path to spiritual freedom. Prior to her current life's work, Katie had chaired an airline's trauma-response program for 4,500 flight attendants to provide psychological first-aid to flight crewmembers. Katie carried her skillset over into past-life regression, hypnosis, and helping people heal themselves through altered states of consciousness.
On this retreat, Katie is partnering with local Navajo guides to take our group into Mystery Valley, to share with us their culture, their history, and the living oral traditions that have been passed down. There are many companies to choose from in Monument Valley. Katie has personally vetted these guides to ensure you have access to the real deal. These are very spiritual people who have done an incredible job preserving wisdom for our time now, so that humanity can come piece together the key to living in harmony with nature, animals, each other, and ourselves.
Marek Ziebinski is also helping co-facilitate the retreat. Marek is a yogi who has a passion for helping people get unstuck on their path. What really excites him about travel is culture; specifically ways of being on a community-scale that promote harmony and connectedness. With a background in physics and engineering, he brings a unique perspective to every retreat and ancient site we visit. Marek has been meditating for over ten years, and has remembered nearly 50 past-lived through past-life regressions, QHHT sessions, dreams, and self-hypnosis. The first-hand experience he has to help people tap-in is invaluable, so be sure to ask him any questions you have if you catch yourself getting stuck. Over the last 4 years that Marek and Katie have been together they have traveled to sacred sites around the world finding vortices, connecting with other realms, and piecing together clues of lost civilizations to anchor in a better future.
