Celebrating 25 Years of Lucy’s Body, Mind and Spirit Retreats

May 18th – 20th, (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) of the May 24th weekend 2025, Burry Heights

Please join me as I express my sincere gratitude that I was given the gift of hosting these retreats for 25 years. The connections, sharing and sacred circles have been amazing to witness. Some Financial assistance is available for those on a limited income (ie single parents and students).

Your fee covers two nights’ accommodations, 6 meals, 4 half day workshops and evening programs. Individually these services would cost over $700.00. Your cost is 475.00 (taxes included). I will pair you up if you are single and would like a partner for your room. Some single rooms are available for an additional $100.00.

I am offering only one retreat a year going forward. As this is THE ONLY RETREAT FOR 2025, I expect the programs will fill quickly. There is a limited number of spaces, and they will fill on a first-come basis. You can pay $100.00 now to guarantee your space and pay the remainder before May 1, 2025.

Workshops

Emotion Code (Roxanne). Learn different muscle-testing techniques to help you connect with your subconscious mind which knows all your history, so you can learn to tune in and ask. Roxanne will then guide you through an Emotion Code session. She will provide you with a chart of emotions to help you find some trapped emotions that may be causing you pain, keeping you stuck in a pattern, preventing you from reaching goals, or stopping you from living your best life. You will find those trapped emotions and then be guided on how to release them. She will explain advanced levels and then use these advanced levels, which can make the results more profound and lasting. She will also demonstrate these levels to a willing participant. Roxanne will draw for a private session for one lucky workshop participant. 

Creative Revelations & Intention Setting (Dominique). Come explore your connection to the Divine during this Creative Transformative Experience. This first session of the retreat will help you tune into your contribution to the circle, your truth of the moment, your intentions for the retreat and the shifts you are opening to in your life. Raise your vibration and tune into your guidance through sacred process, gentle movement & creative expression. All you need is an open mind, a willingness to play, and a readiness for shift. 

Living and Dreaming from the Heart in the Age of Aquarius (Alison).  (Allergy alert: plant essences will be included in this session).  We are amid a pivotal time in Earth’s history, foretold by the Ancients, when our personal and collective evolution would create a more just and humanitarian world for all.  In this session you will learn how to shift from 3rd to 5th dimensional consciousness through the intelligence of your heart and the healing power of Nature. Living and dreaming from the heart is about becoming more connected to all of life, more creative and intuitive.  You will learn how to activate and strengthen the field of your heart and access its native intelligence. 

T’ai Chi Chih (Sheila) (pronounced Tie Chee Chuh) is a series of 20 simple, gentle, repetitive movements. It is as easy as ABC … Activating, Balancing and Circulating our natural inner withing our bodies energy, often represented by the familiar black and white Yin/Yang circle image. The more freely our Energy flows, the more balanced it becomes. The

The more fully alive we are in body, mind and spirit, the more serenity and well-being we can experience. 

The Joy of Being Me (Joan). We are on this earth to experience many things, and joy is the goal. How do we access that joy and how do we stoke it? Let’s talk about the importance of joy in our lives and delve into ways of creating, accepting and maintaining the very joy of being ourselves. We’ll discuss living our best life through choices and practices. How to keep our vibration up? How to protect our energy? How to find peace in our souls! “Joy is our goal, our destiny.Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.

When we are centered in our joy, we attain our wisdom. The world is terrified of joyful women.” Marianne Williamson “A Woman’s Worth” Let’s scare the pants off them, together!

Spirituality and Inner Freedom (Barb).  The mystic, Meister Eckhart encourages…. Become aware of what is in you – announce it, produce it and give birth to it.”  Barb’s workshop is designed to explore the healing power and promise of Spirituality in unleashing and freeing the great “Magnificence” that lies within each one of us! Come build upon what you already know about how to become more “aligned” through the process of making the unconscious “conscious” – thereby opening increased pathways to personal discovery, well-being and freedom!

Wisdom Healing Qigong (Sheila) (pronounced Chee-gong) is a powerful integrated healing system that sees body, mind, and spirit as integrally connected. It invites us to COME HOME more deeply to our bodies, and ourselves, through a set of practices that involve gentle repetitive movements, sound and vibration, visualization, and posture alignment, transforming the often-constricted flow of natural energy within our bodies from on-going physical and emotional stress, disease, aging, injury, genetics, and simple day-to-day living, to a more freely flowing energy, akin to the natural energy of little children.

Tuning into Your Heart (Roxanne). Extensive research shows that the heart has a complex intrinsic nervous system that is sufficiently sophisticated to qualify as a ‘little brain’ in its own right. Its elaborate circuitry enables it to act independently of the cranial brain—to learn, remember, and even feel and sense. Tuning into the “Heart Brain” will always lead you to happiness. We will start with a simple Heart Coherence meditation that will slow down the nervous system. We will discuss the eight-step flow to get you into the continuous movement of heart energy. We will play The Wish game, an amazing tool to show you how quickly you can identify and shift your energy back into flow so you can move forward in the direction that your Heart wants to go.

Therapy is a walk in Nature (Alison). (Limit of 12).  

Join Alison, A certified Forest Therapy Guide, for an immersive experience in Nature, allowing our senses to guide us.  Forest Therapy is a mindful, healing and connective practice inspired by the Japanese practice of “Shinrin-Yoku”, which means “forest bathing”.  Spending time in nature strengthens your immune system, reduces stress, and makes you more creative, mindful and happier.  You will learn way to de-stress, slow down, relax and rejuvenate body, Mind and spirit.  

Connection and Protection (Joan).  How do you stay grounded and listen to your inner voice? Do you connect to a Higher Power? How is your energy, and how do you protect it in everyday life? Join Joan in a discussion of spirituality in everyday life. Learn (or share) some strategies and tried and true practices to enhance your life. As Harry T Toughladjian said “Keep your feet on the ground and Fingertips in Heaven.”  That’s the goal- to have a full life, firmly grounded in the human experience, while opening ourselves to guidance from the Divine/Universe/God/ Goddess, whatever the Higher Power means for you.

Angel Guidance and Angel Healing (Jackie). Join me in this sacred space where we will elevate our vibrational frequency through guided practices allowing the angels to enter and support our journey.  Together we will: embrace our higher self and guardian angels, receive personal angel messages tailored to your unique path and experience the deep healing that the angels offer us with an Integrated Energy Therapy mini session. 

Intuitive Walkabout (Dominique). 

Using the framework of Dominique’s “Intuition into Action Treasure Map: 5 Steps to a Happy Healthy Life”, you’ll be guided on how to use this easy technique to access the answers your heart & Team of Divine Helpers want to you have. Need guidance? Come explore your world of personal symbolism as a source for creative decision-making while enjoying the benefits of time in nature. There are so many ways to connect to your intuition. An intuitive walkabout is a quick, easy, and fun way to get the answers you need. You can do it anywhere, anytime. However, when you do it while walking in nature, you get the added support of fresh air, movement, and Mother Earth’s wisdom.
