“It’s hard to think of any part of the journey that did not work well for me. The preparation calls, creating my intention, the setting, the incredible supportive group, the schedule, the support from the four of you, how you made each phase work to support the journey, the care you all demonstrated during the experience to make it feel safe, the group sharing and the followup calls. I have been part of countless business retreats over the years and never experienced the care and professionalism that was part of this Journey of Discovery.”
As we evolve in our lives, there are many opportunities and choices along the way. How do we live in a manner that is aligned with the life we want? For many of us it is a journey, one that is full of exploration and possibilities.
Dive deeply into consciousness and unlock your innermost potential in a powerfully transformative experience under the careful guidance of highly experienced facilitators. Experience how personal transformation, healing, and growth can lead to a powerful and profound impact on your life and that of everyone you touch.
Set on peaceful, private land in gorgeous Lakeside Michigan – This intimate, intentional retreat will challenge you to tap into your most authentic self, and enable you to live your life with greater purpose, clarity, and impact.
How do you know if you are ready for a transformative journey?
You might ask yourself the following questions:
Would having a fresh perspective serve me in creating the life I want?
Am I seeking deeper truths and greater alignment with my authentic path & purpose?
Would it serve me to reassess my inner compass to align with a desired future?
Do I feel called to seek new avenues of healing, insight, inspiration, and connection?
Am I curious about consciousness and ways to perceive my place in the world?
If you have answered “Yes” to any of these questions, this retreat is for YOU.
“Overall the experience was superbly executed. The lead team ran the event seamlessly and created a wonderful nurturing environment. Anyone who wants to hear an angel sing in real life should sign up for this. Personally, I had a beautiful experience. I left the journey feeling excited about the future. I felt very centered and energized as I re-entered my day to day life the following week. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone who is looking to discover more balance and peace in their lives.”

“My personal journey has always been one of becoming a better human. I am successful and fulfilled professional, with a thoughtful and extensive spiritual practice… that lay back in my past and was almost forgotten. I longed to remember and reconnect with my deepest, strongest, most generative self: My trust in this group of facilitators opened an avenue for doing so in a way that is fast, deep and viscerally imprinting and therefore unforgettable. Thanks to their extraordinary care in preparation, environment, atmosphere, ceremonial wisdom and live music (truly “of the spheres”), some undeniable, clear certitudes came to me in response to my inner questions and unsettled wonderings. I never felt unsafe for a minute. Neither could i ever misunderstand this Journey as a recreational event devoid of purpose. The SpArc facilitates us receiving the healing, wise power of the medicines that allow us to realize, gratefully and reverently, how connected we are to everything and everyone.”
