The 2026 Heart Accelerator retreat will be an intimate 7 day (6 nights) small group experience with a very powerful theme this year:

🌋The Furnace

A week-long transformational retreat inside an active volcanic caldera in the Azores Islands, Portugal. The place where ancient wisdom, deep healing, and the fire of rebirth converge.

There's a place in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean where the earth still breathes. Not metaphorically. Literally. Steam rises through the streets. The ground is warm under your feet. Hot springs pour iron-rich water from thirty different underground sources, each one carrying a different mineral signature, each one healing something different in the body.

The village is called Furnas. The name translates to "furnace."

It sits inside the belly of a 100,000-year-old volcanic caldera – a crater so vast that an entire town was built inside it. The people who live there don't live near the volcano. They live inside it. They've built their homes, their gardens, and their lives in the very place where the earth once tore itself open.

This is where I'm taking you in 2026.

Not to the edge of transformation. Into the center of it.

Because here's what I've learned after guiding thousands of people through their deepest healing:

The work that changes your life doesn't happen from a safe distance. It doesn't happen by reading another book or listening to another podcast or journaling about your wounds from the comfort of your living room.

It happens when you step into the container. When the heat meets the thing you've been carrying. When the fire is close enough to touch what's been frozen inside you for years.

Furnas is that container. The land itself does what I do: it applies sustained, precise heat to what's buried. And what was stuck begins to move.

The Lost Atlantis

The Azores sit at the exact meeting point of three tectonic plates: where the North American, Eurasian, and African continental shelves converge. Geologically, this is one of the most powerful energy crossroads on Earth.

But there's something else here. Something older.

The Azores have long been considered the last visible peaks of Atlantis. The tips of the mountains of a lost civilization that, according to Plato, once stood in this exact stretch of ocean, "in front of the Pillars of Hercules." A place of immense wisdom, immense power, and immense fall.

The frequency this land carries is Atlantean for sure: the memory of a time before the forgetting. Before the wounding built the walls. Before the controlling mind took over. Before you lost access to the version of yourself that was connected, powerful, and whole.

You already know that version of you exists. You've caught glimpses of her. In meditation. In rare moments of stillness. In the ache you feel when you sense how close she is… and how unreachable she seems.

She's not unreachable. She's buried. Like everything in Furnas –  like the heat, the springs, the ancient memory of this land – she's waiting just beneath the surface.

This retreat is the excavation.

WHAT THIS RETREAT IS ABOUT

2026 is a Year 1 in numerology. Rebirth. The old cycle fully complete. The new one asking to be born. And it's asking a very specific question:

What are you willing to let the fire touch?

Not the comfortable parts. Not the spiritual concepts you've already made peace with. The deeper layer. The one your nervous system has been guarding since childhood. The core wound that built your entire operating system. The one that tells you love isn't safe, that your power is dangerous, that being fully seen means being fully destroyed.

That wound didn't form in your mind. It formed in your body. And it won't release through your mind either.

It will release in the furnace.

In Furnas, the earth applies heat not with force, but with patience. The volcanic ground stays at a constant temperature: steady, unrelenting, precise. That's exactly what we'll do together.

This retreat is not a spa vacation dressed up as healing. It's not a wellness escape with crystals and beach yoga.

This is the furnace. And the furnace does one thing:

It burns away what isn't you so you can finally remember who you are.

What You’ll Experience

Together, over the course of one week inside this caldera, you will experience:

✅ Morning Circles: Tending the Fire

Each day begins in small group with one of our experienced coaches. This is where you land. Where you name what surfaced in the night. Where you're held, witnessed, and guided before the day's deeper work begins. The caldera holds you. The circle holds you. You don't carry this alone.

✅ Somatic & Movement Sessions: Letting the Body Speak

Transformation that stays in the mind stays theoretical. Our daily movement and somatic work gives your body a way to process what words can't reach, releasing what's been locked in your tissues, your jaw, your chest, your hips. The earth beneath Furnas moves energy through heat. We move it through the body.

✅ Hotseat Coaching with Christina: Into the Core

This is the furnace at its hottest. In live hotseat sessions, you work directly with Christina to cut through the patterns, the faulty beliefs, and the protective stories your nervous system has been running since childhood. This isn't surface-level coaching. This is where we find the core wound, name it, and begin to dissolve it, so you can access the power and light that's been buried underneath.

✅ Nightly Sound Ceremonies: Remembrance Through Vibration

After the sun sets, we shift into ceremony. Christina and our musician guide you through powerful sound healing sessions designed to move energy that the mind cannot touch. Music, voice, vibration: these are the oldest healing technologies on Earth. On land this ancient, in a caldera this alive, the ceremonies carry a depth that has to be felt to be understood.

✅ Caldera Immersions: The Land as Healer

You didn't come to Furnas to sit in a conference room. Each day includes time with the land itself: guided hikes through the volcanic valley, immersion in iron-rich thermal springs that have been healing people for centuries, and direct contact with the raw, breathing earth of the caldera.
