About this trip

I am calling you in.

All of you. Every aspect.

I want all your laughter and all your tears.

All your triumphs and all your short comings.

I want the full spectrum of human experience that flows through you.

Designed by something beyond our comprehension or limitation.

I am calling you in,

to let it out.

Bring your self limiting beliefs

Together we will release them.

Bring your stories and your pain

Together we will honor them.

Bring your wild soul and untethered spirit

Together we will dance with them.

Bring your bliss and joy

Together we will share them.

Get used to this elevated standard of existence, because it’s only going up from here.

In less than one month, we will be gathering in Saint Petersburg, FL to continue the exploration and embodiment of being our authentic selves.

To open our hearts to self love and wholehearted living.

No matter where you are

No matter what you’ve done

Or haven’t done

Know that you are welcome in this sacred time together.

Know that you are one of us.

-------------

Our theme for this retreat is "Living Love".   During our time together we will be reminded and practice embodiment of that unconditional love that lives deep within each being on this planet.  Doing the work to remember that each union, connection, and exchange is not just for our benefit but for theirs as well. Not only the humans on this planet, but the animals, the earth, and all divine beings. 


Together we will explore how we interact with the world and beings around us, what automatic responses reveal themselves, which judgements surface, and by noticing these we can shift them into a space of love and acceptance for what is. 


Meaning is a natural and automatic by-product of a life filled with acts of love. If you want to live a life filled with meaning, start expressing from your essential loving nature. Start singing your song. Singing it so loud and clear that those around you can truly hear. 


The beauty is that it is always your choice. Your life is your creation.  Are you ready to create and live a life filled with love?

-----------------------------------------------------

This retreat will be held at a private home we have rented in Saint Petersburg Florida. This home is located directly on a swimmable lake, with a 2 person sauna, pool table, and only 2 miles from the beach. 

-------


To truly love, we must be vulnerable.

To truly connect, we must be vulnerable.

To truly learn, we must be vulnerable.

To truly LIVE, we must be vulnerable.

It is time we open our hearts.

It is time you open your heart. Your whole heart.

Let yourself be seen. Deeply seen. Vulnerably seen.


Do not live in fear, live in gratitude and joy for the potential of what each moment can bring.

And most importantly...believe that you are enough.


It may sound easy when you read it...but in reality, is hard and extremely scary.

But the beautiful piece is that you don’t have to do it alone. You are not alone.

Together we can get there.


Love is a language. Love is a state of being. Love can only be entered with a vulnerable heart.

During this retreat, we will be extremely vulnerable. 


Opening our hearts and letting go of limitations and fears, sharing our experiences and letting ourselves be seen, developing our self-love, and transitioning to becoming wholehearted beings.

But ultimately...we will LOVE. 


Full heartedly and wholeheartedly.

Courtney’s Journey to the Sacred retreat was above what I could have planned for or imagined. The depth of work that I was able to accomplish in the short period of time we were at the retreat was truly amazing. This is because of the very well thought out schedule, activities, group, and personal time balance. The venue chosen for the retreat was also incredible and the additional activities (volcano hike) was such a beautiful addition to the personal work. 5 stars and I can’t wait to return for another retreat with Wholesome Alchemy!

I absolutely loved the trip! It was a beautiful over all experience. I thought Courtney did an amazing job with everything from choosing the venue to creating the content of the retreat to honing all the details, etc etc. I felt very held and supported before, during and after the retreat! The location was phenomenal. The people I met/connected with/re-connected with at the retreat were also amazing and I am just very very grateful for the experience. Everything was just amazing- it’s really hard to put into words what I got out of the experience but it was incredible! I would highly recommend taking a Wholesome Alchemy retreat to anyone it will be soooo worth the investment!

Having to describe this trip in words will take away from the mystical experience but I will do my best! The Journey to the Sacred was a magical and life changing experience. The location of Lake Atitlan Guatemala provided breathtaking views that radiated peace and power. The beautiful lake was surrounded by impressive volcanoes that gave me a sense of wonder and holiness. Courtney is a fantastic teacher. She lead the yoga (asana), mediations, and workshops in a professional and loving way. It was a unique experience to receive professional teaching of information around the 8 limbs of yoga and ayurveda while simultaneously experiencing world class yoga and meditation sessions. There were many times where I felt the presence of sacred divinity around me. It was like I was high on life and my soul was charging up to a higher frequency as each day passed. The food there was delicious and nutritious. Although I am not a vegan at home I found the vegan dishes to be extremely tasty and filling. The balance of structured activities and down time to enjoy the beautiful farm and lake was perfectly precise. The other attendees were incredible individuals and I am confident that some of them are now lifelong friends. I thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of the Journey to the Sacred and will most definitely be attending another Wholesome Alchemy retreat lead by Courtney very soon! Thank you for the life changing and soul charging experience!

The Journey to the Sacred retreat led by Courtney was honestly the best retreat I have ever been on! It was thoughtfully executed with a mixture of yoga practice, meditation, learning and self growth. I truly felt that I gained so much personal growth and clarity for my life. I would go on ANY retreat Courtney facilitates and you should too!
