About this event

What if the beautiful parts of yourself you've been longing to reconnect with are simply waiting to be welcomed home?

Throughout our lives, we experience extraordinary seasons of love, loss, change, growth, and transformation. We also encounter moments of heartbreak, grief, trauma, and adversity that can profoundly shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us.

Sometimes, through these experiences, we lose touch with the beautiful qualities that once came so naturally to us. Our joy, innocence, creativity, confidence, vitality, trust, personal power, and authentic self-expression may begin to feel distant.

Yet within us lives an extraordinary capacity for remembrance, healing, renewal, and reconnection.

This is the sacred invitation of Soul Retrieval.

What Is Soul Retrieval?

Within shamanic traditions, Soul Retrieval is an ancient spiritual healing practice rooted in the understanding that significant life experiences, particularly trauma, grief, loss, and emotional hardship, may leave us feeling as though parts of our essence have become scattered, hidden, or disconnected from our conscious awareness.

These experiences are sometimes described through the spiritual concept of soul fragmentation.

Soul Retrieval is the sacred practice of calling home these parts and pieces of ourselves, lovingly welcoming back the qualities, wisdom, vitality, and personal power that we may have lost touch with along the way.

We call home all parts and pieces of ourselves that are ready to return, in alignment with our highest good and the highest good of all.

Not through force.

Not through reliving painful experiences.

But through compassion, spiritual connection, loving intention, and the sacred willingness to receive ourselves more fully.

Although life inevitably brings experiences that challenge and transform us, we also hold the beautiful opportunity to reconnect with ourselves in new and meaningful ways.

Soul Retrieval honors this possibility.

The return of our joy.

The remembrance of our innocence.

The reclamation of our voice.

The renewal of our confidence.

The reconnection with our creativity, vitality, and inner wisdom.

It is an invitation to return to wholeness, not because we were ever unworthy or incomplete, but because we deserve to experience the fullness and beauty of who we are.

And the return to self can be an incredibly profound and beautiful experience.

An Invitation to Journey Within

Join Katy Carlson of Fresh Gaia for a beautifully woven, immersive Soul Retrieval Shamanic Journey, bringing together sacred ceremony, guided shamanic meditation, energetic healing, and the nourishing vibrations of sound.

Together, we will open sacred space, deepen our connection with Mother Earth and journey into the beautiful inner landscapes of remembrance.

Guided by the compassion of our own hearts, we will explore the sacred art of Soul Retrieval, inviting the loving return of the qualities, gifts, and aspects of ourselves that are ready to be remembered, reclaimed, and integrated.

This is an opportunity to honor all that you have lived, all that you are becoming, and the extraordinary beauty that has always existed within you.

Beloved, it's time to welcome yourself home.

What Awaits You

Sacred Space & Opening Ceremony

Our time together begins with a beautiful ceremonial opening, creating an intentional and welcoming space for connection, grounding, and spiritual exploration. We will honor the sacred directions, the Earth beneath us, the Divine within and around us, and the personal intentions each participant brings to this experience.

Earth Connection & Energetic Alignment

Through gentle grounding and guided energetic practices, we will deepen our relationship with Mother Earth, nurturing presence, stability, and connection as we prepare for our journey.

Guided Shamanic Soul Retrieval Journey

Travel into a beautiful inner sanctuary of remembrance through an immersive, guided shamanic journey.

Within this sacred landscape, we will invite the presence of compassionate spiritual allies, guardians, and guides as we explore the traditional shamanic practice of Soul Retrieval.

With love, intention, and discernment, we will call home the parts and pieces of ourselves that are ready to be welcomed back into conscious connection, integration, honoring the highest good of all.

This journey invites us to reconnect with the beautiful aspects of our essence that may have become distant through life's experiences, including our innocence, joy, confidence, personal power, creativity, vitality, and natural capacity to receive love.

Every journey is unique, and what unfolds will be welcomed with compassion, curiosity, and care.

Sacred Retrieval, Reclamation & Renewal

At the heart of our ceremony is the sacred opportunity to lovingly reconnect with ourselves.

We will create space to welcome the gifts, wisdom, and qualities that emerge through our journey, honoring the beauty of our personal growth and the ways we are ready to embody more of our authentic essence.

This is a celebration of remembrance, spiritual sovereignty, and the extraordinary possibilities that arise when we begin to experience ourselves more fully.

Holy Fire III™ Reiki, Energy Healing & Sacred Sound Immersion

During our shamanic journey, participants will be invited to rest and receive a beautiful immersion of Holy Fire III™ Reiki and other Reiki-infused energetic healing practices, accompanied by the exquisite frequencies of Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls and sacred sound to soothe.

This nurturing experience is thoughtfully woven to support deep relaxation, reflection, energetic integration, and a gentle return to the present moment.

Allow yourself to be surrounded by beautiful sound, sacred intention, and nourishing stillness as you honor everything you have welcomed through your journey.

Integration, Reflection & Closing Ceremony

We will conclude with gentle grounding, personal reflection, and a sacred closing ceremony.

Participants will be invited to consider how the qualities, insights, and intentions experienced during their journey can be lovingly nurtured and expressed through everyday life.

Because the beauty of spiritual work is not only found in what we experience within sacred ceremony, but in how we bring that wisdom home.

Into our bodies.

Into our relationships.

Into our choices.

Into our creativity.

And into the beautiful lives we are here to live.
