Event Information
NEW Moon Retreat in Asheville, NC Return to Being January 16-18, 2026This New Moon retreat marks a return—to presence, to pacing, to being human.Created to bridge the growing gap between modern spiritual practices and lived experience, this gathering centers embodiment, nervous system coherence, and relational truth. We restore right sequencing and right relationship with spirituality through ceremony, ritual, and shared experiences.A return to joy and expression with the world.Here, spirituality is not something we rise above our lives—it is something we learn to inhabit within them. This is not your typically spiritual weekend retreat... This is not a weekend spent entirely inside a house moving from session to session.While we will gather each day for ceremony, ritual, and relational work, this retreat also returns us to movement, expression, and contact with the living world through activities and events in Asheville. Joy, laughter, spaciousness, and embodied presence are not side effects here—they are part of the practice.We come together in sisterhood to restore energetic coherence and stabilization, not through intensity or urgency, but through rhythm, pacing, and shared experience. There will be space to learn about right leadership and right sequencing in energetic and relational spaces, grounded in lived embodiment rather than theory.We rest, relax, and restore in a mountain retreat home in the Blue Ridge—complete with an indoor sauna and outdoor hot tub overlooking the mountains—allowing the land itself to support nervous system regulation and integration.This is a container where we do not compromise the spiritual, the human, or the natural world.There is space here.There is relationship here.There is room to commune with all of it. The program may include activities such as comedy, dance class or burlesque class. Draft schedule and application can be seen here. A Field of Shared Creation The Container This retreat is grounded in wholeness, self-responsibility, consent, and embodied presence.We honor privacy, pacing, and direct experience, and we allow others their process without fixing or rescuing. Participation is always optional, and care for the nervous system is central to this container. Who this retreat is designed for: Is this you?This retreat is for female-identifying individuals who are ready for a return to human presence and movement with the world.It is for those who are no longer seeking, no longer chasing activation or constant expansion, but are ready to be—to inhabit their lives, bodies, and relationships more fully.You may feel weary of mainstream spiritual or wellness spaces, while still knowing that your personal relationship with the divine matters deeply. Rather than following external frameworks or trends, you feel ready to define how spirituality lives through you—and how you lead and embody it in your own way.This retreat is for those who desire a container that supports the clearing of stagnation through being, doing, feeling, resting, moving, and returning—again and again—to presence. Who this retreat is not for: This retreat is not for those seeking rapid transformation, high-intensity activation, or peak spiritual experiences.It is not a space for spiritual bypass, constant processing, or outsourcing personal responsibility to a teacher, group, or method.It may not be supportive for those who are currently looking for fixing, saving, or a single experience to resolve ongoing challenges.This is also not a retreat for those who prefer rigid schedules, nonstop programming, or purely conceptual learning. Spaciousness, relational awareness, and embodied pacing are central to this container. The Retreat Home & Shared Living We will be staying together in a private mountain retreat home designed for rest, warmth, and connection. The home includes shared gathering spaces, quiet nooks for rest overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains.This is a mid-century shared-house retreat. Living together is part of the experience—supporting relational awareness, attunement, and grounded presence—while still honoring privacy, consent, and individual pacing.Sleeping arrangements include a mix of private and shared rooms. All options are offered with transparency, and participants are invited to choose what best supports their rest and regulation.Shared spaces are held with respect for quiet hours, personal boundaries, and the option to step away or rest as needed.

Meet your guide, Liana — Guiding you through return to embodiment of the True SelfI am a psychic channel, hypnotist, and intuitive guide whose work centers on returning people to what is already whole within them — not through activation or chase, but through presence, pacing, and embodied leadership.My path has woven intuitive gifts with lived experience in guiding groups, holding global programs, and creating containers where people come back to themselves. Over the past several years, my work has shifted away from the constant seeking and ascension focus of mainstream spiritual culture, toward something quieter, deeper, and more human — a spirituality rooted in the body, the nervous system, relationship, and the everyday.I hold space through witnessing, resonance, song, and embodiment rather than performance or pressure. I trust the intelligence of pacing, consent, and nervous system coherence. My leadership is not about telling anyone who to be, but creating a field where people remember themselves, stabilize their gifts, and define their own relationship with the divine without losing their humanity.I deeply value guiding others to see themselves more fully, and to be seen and received for their True Self.This retreat reflects what I value most now:contact with life, regulation, community, slowness, expression & voice, integration, and right relationship with the body, the self and spirit.
