Transformative Retreats
Transformation is possible when we are able to change our perspective and discover the hidden assumptions, relationships, and patterns beneath our thoughts and concerns. Throughout this retreat we will have the opportunity to alter our sense of awareness so that we can see our life in a different light.
Clarity of intention is important in transformative work. We will spend time working towards that goal through a variety of experiences. Guided meditations, breathwork , and other provocative experiences will help us dive below the ego into self discovery. These experiences are guided with focused intention and supported integration.
In preparation for these retreats we recommend that you read “How to Change Your Mind” by Michael Pollan or watch the Netflix series by the same title, especially the second episode. I also recommend that you peruse my Blog page for more information on how I work with the transformational process.

This retreat location is in the magical area of Forest Glen. Built in the late 1800’s across from the historic National Park Seminary, the house is located above Rock Creek Park which became the first federally managed parks in the same period. This park is a peaceful place for our forest immersion experiences. Homemade meals are prepared by the hosts and the spacious home lends itself beautifully for the retreat activities.

“The Transformative Retreat was amazing. Thank you for your patient wisdom and guidance aiming us all towards our intentions, and also the things we didn’t intend! This weekend truly changed me, I am transformed.”

“Julia is clearly very knowledgeable about the purposes and facilitation processes for each of the activities we completed. She has a very gentle, calm, and spiritual manner. Her mirroring and reflection skills were awesome as she was able to ask questions to help us dig deeper into the meaning of our experiences. I felt safe, calm, nurtured, and loved throughout.”
