Crossliminal Passage Retreats™
Immersive healing experiences for individuals or couples.
We invite you to retreat from the busyness of your daily life, come to a peaceful place among the trees, and remember who you are. Your soul is asking you to take the journey.
A Crossliminal Passage Retreat™
The liminal is an in-between stage, neither here nor there, the threshold of a transition. And that is where you are, ready for deep transformation and unsure how to get there. We will help you cross this liminal passage and step in to the wholeness of who you were born to be.
A retreat, an immersive therapy experience, also known as an intensive, is a deeply personalized profound transformative experience. Over the course of one to three days we accompany you through the layers of your life – past, present and future. Together we hold your fears and pain, and turn toward your joys and dreams. You will be profoundly transformed. There are many options for the focus, detailed below, which will you choose?
To create a profoundly transformational experience designed just for you, Laura will meet with you twice before the retreat. She will help you define your goals and address your wants and needs. Retreats last from one to three consecutive days and are held in the woods of Southern Oregon. Yes, the photo above is from the land on which your journey will be held. Come, let the magical healing presence of nature surround and support you. Be where the only sounds you hear are the birds and the wind tickling the trees. A respite for a weary sojourner. A chance to return to your own true nature. We invite you to heal.
A retreat is a refuge, a haven for a tired soul. Get off the hamster wheel, unplug, come and in the peaceful stillness, remember who you are.
Reconnection, rejuvenation, fueling the fire again. The best of us and the worst of us come out to play with our intimate partners. We can help you as a couple move through blocks and reconnect in a meaningful and exciting way.
All of us humans have lived through some type of overwhelming and disturbing experiences over the years of our lives. In one way or another we are all trauma survivors. Most of those experiences take their place in the story of our life, one of the many pieces of the puzzle to who we are. However, for a variety of reasons sometimes an experience is too much and it gets stuck, it keeps a powerful hold over us rather than being a part of our past.
If this is happening for you, EMDR can help. This model is especially transformative when we have an extended amount of time and lends itself beautifully to the intensive or retreat format.
Life is a package deal and none of us gets through it without some trauma. Our souls are deeply offended by this apparent reality and will fight tooth and nail against integrating trauma into the wholeness of our personal narrative. And thus, the pain of our experiences can remain stuck within, exacting a huge fee for their residence for many, many years. In an immersive experience we can shift that stuckness into flow and you will be able to use that life force toward fueling the life you want rather than your nightmares.
Our deepest healing comes when we can know and feel our belonging within the larger tapestry of humanity, and remember that we are part of a universal whole. Opening into the spiritual dimensions of your journey will help create more transformational and long lasting change.
In an experience designed to meet you where you are, and guide you to where you want to be, we create the ideal alchemy for your soul. Gift yourself the opportunity to dedicate full days to answer your soul’s calling. Leave behind the world of illusions and be with what truly matters: you in your wholeness. Together we will identify the core limiting beliefs holding you back. You will meet and release those fears on energetic, somatic, emotional, cognitive, and soul levels.
Meet your demons sober! Plant medicine can be an immensely powerful way to open yourself up to the beauty of life, a way to feel deep in your cells the connection of all. To experience the fullness that a psychedelic journey can offer, it sometimes is essential to heal inner turmoil or trauma ahead of time. We can support you through that process.
Even if you met your demon stoned or drunk the first time around, you can meet it now with full awareness and consciousness. And after, take your journey to even farther realms through psychedelic work with a qualified practitioner.
As a general culture we offer less and less time and space to grieve, especially in the way it needs: loud, messy, and agonizing. And there is so much to grieve: the loss of someone special, the loss of a part of you, the loss of a part of you that never got to live, the loss of a dream, an identity, a career. We tend to just keep going after loss. Or immediately turn to a “celebration of life” or the “silver lining.” But the pain doesn’t go away, in fact it can stay with us for a lifetime if we don’t tend to it, lurking in a corner and weighing us down.
In our personalized retreat, you will feel the support you need to witness your own pain, deeply mourn the loss in the way that it needs, and move through to the other side, integrated and strong.
Change is messy, just ask a caterpillar
Within the sacred structure of the cocoon, a caterpillar completely digests herself, becoming a gooey mess. The living being that is this amorphous jumble is called a pupa. The pupa exists in the liminal, between caterpillar and butterfly. There is a complete disintegration of all that was except for the miraculous dream of its butterfly nature, held in imaginal cells or imaginal discs. The blueprint of her future potential is the only thing the pupa holds on to from her past.
It’s rather remarkable. With only her imagination, the soul of the caterpillar makes its way through that crossliminal passage toward unfolding into beauty and freedom – a new way of being. In our journey together, we certainly won’t ask you to digest yourself or give up all connection to your past. We will, however, ask you to work yourself over and be reborn into your fullness. It won’t be easy, it will be quite messy at times, and sometimes it will hurt. You will not be in it alone; we will walk with you. And we promise you, future you is going to be waiting with the biggest, loudest “thank you!”
