I experienced a powerful weekend of inner child healing and women’s empowerment. I was a bit nervous of the unknown before the weekend. I wasn’t quite sure that this work
was for me. If you don’t think this is the case, believe me you will learn things about yourself that make so much sense. There is something powerful about a room full of women choosing healing. I can tell you that I felt safe, supported, and truly seen. I met
my inner child with compassion and walked away stronger, clearer and more confident. I reconnected with parts of myself that I had long forgotten and didn’t know existed. The therapist created a deeply safe space, which allowed my vulnerability to break through
and helped me go inward. The very knowledgeable inner child coach helped me step into my strength as a woman, and really recognizing my inner child and how much this
littler person affects so many aspects of my daily life. I felt lighter, empowered, and I found my voice. I walked in carrying old stories, and walked out carrying strength. I left
this retreat with helpful tools that I use daily. I recommend this retreat to any woman longing for healing, understanding, and reclaiming yourself. I am so grateful for this experience.

Roots and Wings...a weekend for women to heal and empower their inner child
from $500.00
Our shadow is simultaneously our past and “inner child,” representing the essence of our vulnerability, creativity, and emotional core shaped by our experiences. It is our best friend, guiding us through the vagaries of life, giving us expectations, and opening new skylines.

What’s Included:

This immersive retreat experience includes all playshops and group gatherings with Christie and any special guests. There is private and shared lodging options. Nourishing meals carefully prepared for you and in coordination with your dietary needs. A pre- and post-retreat group call. Private one-on-one time with Christie as requested.

  • We begin our journey together with a pre-retreat Welcome Call.

    Friday, arrive beginning at 4pm. Opening circle and intention setting begins at 6pm. We will have shared time together Friday night. Saturday will be a combination of circle time, movement, play, free time to relax or walk around Lake Wazeecha, enjoy the hot tub and meet one-on-one with Christie. On Sunday, we will take all of the transformations and healing and learn how to integrate that into your life everyday. Sunday ends in the afternoon.

  • This retreat is for women of all ages and stages of life. If you continue to deal with relationship patterns that lead to conflict, disconnect and hurt…this retreat is the right fit. If you lack confidence or want to be stronger in your voice…this retreat is the right fit for you. If you know you want more boundaries in your life, you just don’t know where to start…this retreat is the right fit for you.

  • In addition to the welcome call and the deep supportive container of the retreat, there will be a post-retreat debrief call for everyone. And, if you want to take things even deeper there are post-retreat options to work with Christie

I attended this retreat this weekend and I would really encourage all women to take them weekend to themselves to learn so many beautiful things about themselves. Instructors are experienced and authentic. I cannot wait to start the new chapter knowing all I that know now. Please consider learning to care for yourself in a loving meaningful, authentic way. Tami and Christie are amazing!
