What exactly is energy healing?

We often take care of our physical bodies—eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep—but what about the energy we carry within us?

Energy healing is a gentle, complementary wellness practice that creates space to slow down, become more present, and reconnect with yourself.

A session may involve stillness, gentle energetic work, intention, breath, and deep relaxation.

You don't have to arrive knowing exactly what you need.

You don't have to have everything figured out.

You simply need to give yourself permission to pause.

Sometimes, when we become quiet enough, we can begin to notice what we've been carrying, what needs attention, and what we're ready to release.

At Higher Ground Wellness Retreat, energy healing sessions are offered in a peaceful, supportive environment where you can step away from the noise of everyday life and come back to yourself.

Your healing journey is uniquely yours. There is no right or wrong way to begin.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.

It means creating enough safety, awareness, and compassion that what happened no longer has to control how you feel today.

Your body isn't working against you.

It may simply be asking to be heard.

At Higher Ground Wellness Retreat, we create a safe, supportive space to slow down, reconnect, and begin listening inward.

Autumn Equinox Threshold

A Celtic-Inspired Gathering of Story, Ceremony & Sound

As the outer light begins to soften and the seasons turn, we invite you to gather with us for a beautiful afternoon of reflection, connection and ceremony.

Together, we will share a warm seasonal drink and take a short lantern walk as we witness the changing season around us—and the season unfolding within us.

We will then gather in an autumn-inspired circle as Janice shares an old Welsh tale that beautifully echoes the themes of the season. Together, we will move through meaningful seasonal ritual before settling into a deeply grounding sound journey.

A time to honour what has grown, gently lay down what is complete and remember the light we carry within.

“As the outer light begins to fade, we gather to remember the light that lives within us—the one no season, circumstance or darkness can extinguish.”

🍂 Sunday, September 20
🍂 1:00–4:00 PM
🍂 Higher Ground Wellness
🍂 Investment: $88 per person

Lovingly hosted by Gordana & Janice.

Spaces will be limited. Please reach out to reserve your place. ♥️
