This is for those beautiful beings in education in desperate need of rest and Renewal

This is a One of a Kind Retreat Specifically Designed for Women in Education…

We are all still recovering from the huge impact the pandemic as well as the political and economic climate that can impede on our physical, emotional, mental and physical health. Of all helping professions, those in education feel the weight and pressure as they hold space for the most vulnerable.

It is our desire to offer educators a much-needed respite by moving into community with each other and receiving the healing medicine of Mayan lands and her beautiful people.

The space will create a sacred container to release, unwind, rest, and reset as you continue into your passion and call. We all need to recalibrate and recenter. So here is the opportunity to prioritize your care!

Your Retreat Space

Your Medicine kit

  • Rebirthing Water Therapy

    Janzu is often referred to as “rebirth therapy.” It taps into the therapeutic properties of water and uses the physical body as a portal to explore the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of self.

  • Guided Breathwork & Energy healing

    This practice helps us to break free from patterns that no longer serve us by releasing stagnant energy from our bodies so we create more space to connect spiritually.

  • Temazcal

    A temazcal is a traditional Mexican steam bath that is in many ways similar to the Native American sweat lodge. Besides promoting physical well-being and healing, the temazcal is also a ritual and spiritual practice in which traditional healing methods are used to encourage reflection and introspection. The temazcal is thought to represent the womb and people coming out of the bath are, in a symbolic sense, re-born.

  • Communal Healing

    This is a journey of healing with our sisters. We are not meant to do this work alone. There is so much power when we trust our fellow sisters to support us in our evolution.

  • Mayan Medicine

    We will be using herbal support to help us in connecting with our ancestors as we honor the medicinal plants that Mayan culture offers us.

  • body movement

    We always want to support the body in releasing outdated programming through intentional movement so we can receive new downloads from the spiritual realm.

Testimonial

Last week, I went on an amazing adventure with some amazing women as we came together to understand our divine feminine energy.  It was such a time of releasing, boding, learning, and receiving from spirit for the journey ahead for each of us.

Thank you @theretreatmaven for your beauty and transparency.  It helped me to see that I don't have to be perfect to do what I feel called to do.  I truly love and appreciate you.

Also thank you for holding space for us to release some of the things that have held us back from seeing who we really are.

Meet your host

Katherine Searcy, M.Div, LICSW, RMT

Let’s get the credentials out the way. I’m a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, retreat facilitator and energetic healer. So, I have a ton of letters behind my name. I spent most of my fifteen-year career as a chaplain and social worker in health care, primarily hospice care journeying with those at the end of life. I am a certified Reiki Master Practitioner who has been offering energy healing services of over a decade. I have hosted over 20 retreats in the U.S. and abroad, specializing in intimate and transformative healing experiences for women.

I was literally born to do this! For my astrology enthusiast, I have my sun, moon, and mercury all in the 8th House of death, mental health, and shared resources. And because of this blueprint, I have been on a journey that has initiated me to do this work.

I specialize in grief work. I was introduced to her at the tender age of 5 with the death of my grandfather. Since then, I have witnessed many of my family members, childhood friends, beloved pets, and parts of myself transition to other planes.

See, I don’t like using the word loss even though we have been conditioned to think of death in this way. But we haven’t lost anything or anyone. They have transitioned to another plane that is just as real as this one.

And this is my approach to grief. A transpersonal, transdimensional, and transformative experience of witnessing grief as the healer she is.

Because grief is a heart opener, here to facilitate us in a journey to experience the spiritual realms with more confidence and trust.
