Rising Signs Retreats
Not for Escape: for Emergence
There are moments on the path of healing when life calls for more than an hour or two a week.
Rising Signs Retreats were created for just such times—for those who feel the need to slow down, go inward, and engage in a more immersive process. These intimate, half-day sessions are offered in three formats: a single deep-dive experience, a progressive three-part series, or a concentrated three-day journey of transformation.
Each retreat is personalized, intentional, and soul-centered—held in the serene landscape of Topanga, California, and designed to meet you exactly where you are. If travel to Topanga isn’t possible, let’s explore whether a virtual retreat can meet your needs with equal depth and care.
Three Ways to Engage
01
One-Time Intensive
A single 3–4 hour session designed to clarify, process, or integrate a meaningful experience. This format is ideal for threshold moments—grief, insight, creative inspiration, spiritual opening, or major life transitions.
02
Three-Session Series
A structured series of three intensives over three consecutive weeks. This format allows for a deepening process with time for integration between sessions, supporting a layered and evolving journey.
03
Three-Day Mini Retreat
Three half-day sessions over three consecutive days. This format is ideal for working through trauma-related issues, spiritual emergence, or the integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness—all within a compassionate, focused container.
What to Expect
Each retreat may include a blend of practices such as:
- Somatic and mindfulness-based interventions
- Guided imagery and internal resourcing
- Breathwork and meditation
- Focused inquiry and reflective dialogue
- Sananga and Hapé (optional and offered only with education and informed consent)
- Soul-aligned practices drawn from the Ageless Wisdom tradition
- Creation of your personal “Ceremony of Life”—a take-home ritual or practice that serves as an anchor for continued integration and holistic wellbeing
Retreats may be created for either psychotherapy (when clinically appropriate) or personal development, depending on your goals. As with all offerings at Rising Signs, you will be an active participant in shaping the process—co-creating a retreat experience that honors your unique needs, challenges, and aspirations.
