About this trip

A Weekend of Ancestral Connection, Spirit Guidance & Deep Healing


Join us for a weekend retreat dedicated to honoring the wisdom of our ancestors, deepening our connection to spirit guides, and embracing the liminal magic as the veil thins for Samhain. Held in a luxurious, private home in Vancouver, WA, this retreat offers a sacred and nurturing space for women to explore the unseen realms, receive ancestral guidance, and awaken the divine within.

What to Expect:

🍄 Facilitated Group Ceremony
Gather in a facilitated group ceremony to connect with your ancestors and awaken your inner healer. With the veil between worlds at its thinnest, this sacred container offers a powerful opportunity for deep healing, release, and ancestral wisdom. Held at the stunning Innertrek Service Center in downtown Portland, OR, you’ll journey in a safe, supportive environment guided by experienced facilitators.


🕯️Rituals of Remembrance
Honor those who came before you through sacred altars, guided meditations, and ancestral storytelling. Engage in candle-lit ceremonies, offerings, and personal rituals designed to strengthen your bond with the spirit world while creating space for guidance, healing, and blessings.


🧘‍♀️Yoga, Sound Healing & Meditation
Prime your soul for the journey with meditation, sound bath, and yin yoga classes that cater to all levels. With a focus on mindfulness, breath, and slow movement, you will connect with your physical and emotional body to awaken your intuition and spirit.


📝Reflection & Integration
Before the retreat, join our virtual preparation workshops to set your intentions and begin forming our sacred circle. During the retreat, engage in reflective journaling and group discussions to receive insight, process your experiences, and integrate the messages from your guides.


💖 Circle of Sisterhood
Step into a powerful space of shared wisdom, vulnerability, and support. Through storytelling, heart-opening discussions, and sacred circles, you’ll forge deep connections with like-minded women while honoring the divine feminine within.


This retreat is more than a gathering—it’s a sacred rite of passage. A time to pause, listen, and receive the whispers of those who walked before us. Through ritual, ceremony, and deep communion with the unseen, you will return home not just to yourself, but to the lineage of wisdom that flows through you.

As always retreating with Jamie is centering, good for the soul, lots of fun and laughter, and a great time of sisterhood. And Charmaine and her delicious meals are so special. There is no one better I would want to retreat with. Thank you again for another very special experience. Until next time! Love and Light.

This was the perfect trip! Jamie is fantastic at what she does and is a wealth of knowledge. A great balance of relaxation, yoga, nature time, and connecting to others. I learned a lot and gained a lot of clarity. It was everything I needed for myself at this time. The food was excellent and the accommodations were perfect. I will definitely book a retreat in the future with Jamie!
