6 Reasons Why a Retreat is Essential to YOU in 2024

Adora Winquist January 26, 2024

Welcome 2024, the year of the Dragon and the number 8, tapping into the infinite potential of your passion and sacred purpose. My motto for this year (and life) is Carpe Diem. We can seize both the day and this very moment. It is within this moment that a doorway of transformation filled with potential opens, allowing us the opportunity to transform and uplift ourselves to new levels of joy, vibrancy and clarity, rising as the sacred self leader of our most abundant and authentic life. 

Your heart is calling. Your soul is beckoning you. You are being called to rise, liberated to findive and thrive in your sacred purpose. 

The start of the new year is a fresh new beginning. And yet, we can still carry the energy, emotions, belief systems and patterns from the past that no longer serve us. We are guided to co-create our lives differently, more intentionally as the earth continues to evolve and awaken. We too are invited to bask in the auspicious nature of new possibilities: Greater levels of vibrant health and energy, deeper connection to our mystical and spiritual wisdom, expanded experiences of abundance, prosperity and creativity. The vibrations around and within us are rising, bringing to the forefront of our awareness what is working in our lives and what is called to shift. 

Do you feel continually pulled in multiple directions at once, often disconnected or distracted from your inner calling? 

Whether you are looking to accelerate your spiritual development, expand emotional resilience, transcend trauma and remove generational blocks, the five pillars of modern alchemy will give you the somatic experiences and alchemical tools to uplift, transform and balance yourself from the inside out.

Modern alchemy unites spirituality and science with practices that are simple, accessible and still profound, transmuting the past patterns of limitation into inspiration, wisdom and compassion. 

For each individual, there is a unique alchemical formula to unlock the innate potential and greater empowerment within. Through this journey of self-discovery and transformation, you are able to unlock the mysteries of your past and chart a new course for a harmonious, purpose-filled future filled with love and the profound magic available to you. 

There is a Sioux saying that the longest distance is from the mind to the heart. The journey is not linear or logical.  To live and love with an awakened heart, an illuminated mind and a sovereign soul requires clear intention and consistent practice. This is the Love Frequency.

“The Love Frequency invites you to come into a deeper state of heart-centered living where your heart becomes your true North, your source of creation and liberation, and a commanding presence of leadership in your life.”

Here are six reasons why a retreat is essential to YOU in 2024

Carving out the time and space for you to rest, reflect, and refine your intentions for your life is a master key to living consistently with joy, fulfillment, and passion.

1. Ignite Inspiration 

Zoom fatigue (still), the incessant tug from multiple directions and a varied number of additional life stressors have left many of us feeling stuck, distracted and disconnected. This can show up in our health, relationships, and work as a sense of listlessness, frustration and dissatisfaction. When we are inspired, we are engaged with life - aligned with the flow of universal energy and filled with ideas and the vision to materialize them. 

Reignite your passion, purpose, inspiration, and celebrate the beauty of life in all of its forms. Immerse yourself in creativity and connections to awaken the joie de vivre, the joy of life, that exists innately within you!

2. Connect in Sacred Community

When was the last time you sang, danced and laughed with others of like mind in community? We long to share the stories of our life journey with others. It is part of our DNA and it is how we heal and evolve collectively. 

There is great magic that unfolds when those of like mind and resonance unite. Mountains can be moved, quantum leaps in healing (personal and planetary) are possible and your unique experience becomes augmented by another. 

From meditation to movement to ceremony and co-creating with the elements, you will feel the sense of freedom and communion that comes from a welcoming, compassionate community and the remembrance of being part of the whole. Enjoy the delight of glorious and healthy meals prepared for you so you can experience being deeply cared for and nourished. 

When we come together, we heal and grow together. We rise together.

3. Commune in Nature 

Surrounding ourselves in nature is one of the greatest healing gifts available. When we learn how to co-create with elements of the natural world like essential oils, crystals, and sacred geometry, we become both the alchemy and the alchemist. 

The elements of earth, air, water, and fire have volumes to teach us about ourselves and the beautiful pathways of empowerment that exist within us. Rare and precious aromatics and crystals contain very high vibrational patterns that can unlock vast amounts of ancient wisdom and divine knowledge within us at the cellular, DNA, and soul level. 

You will experience profound levels of awakening and transformation through the alchemy of nature that will sustainably shift and expand your understanding of your path and purpose in this life. You will take home new skills and applications of this ancient wisdom to apply to your modern day life to magnetize greater health, intuition and abundance. 

4. Accessible Tools & Techniques

Just as the Earth is evolving, we are too. New tools and techniques are imperative for us to live the highest and most vibrant life. Our soul work and spiritual growth requires accessibility and practicality just as it requires an open mind and heart. 

Experience practical tools and techniques to embody innovative ways of being, manifesting, balancing and activating vibrant health - including high immunity and harmony physically, emotionally and spiritually. Learn how to curate your internal and external environment to co-create your highest life experience of joy and vitality. Aromatic Neural Repatterning™(ANR), crystal grids and tapping techniques for deep relaxation and psychic activation are but a few of the interventions you will learn to integrate into your daily life. 

5. Heal to Illuminate 

Together, we will clear, heal and awaken to your inner wise one and learn how to live a life beyond limitations. Healing the past allows us to craft a new story and illuminate our brightest futures. 

As you clear old patterns of limitation and lack from your belief systems, emotional body, mental constructs and your cellular consciousness, you will source a deeper connection within.

The alchemy of healing your physical vessel for your soul's expression transforms your entire outlook and expectation of life. Healing at the core and DNA level elevates your physical vitality, emotional intelligence, and your spiritual understanding of life and place within it.

6. Claim Your Joy

We are pulled into more directions at once than we can count. It seems that in a moment, our joy, lifeforce and energy can be zapped. Only you have the ability to say “yes” to yourself and “no” to all those areas of life that do not serve you. 

The freedom is within you to give yourself permission to put yourself first. You deserve to embody health and happiness on every level. Claim your joy, your greatness and protect it fiercely. You are the one you have been waiting for. 

We have but one life to live. It goes by so much more quickly than we can comprehend. True fulfillment comes from living without regret. The paramount realization that time is our most precious resource can come none too soon. It is our love, the fulfillment of our souls and beings that we take with us. 

Carpe Diem, seize the moment and join us to claim your greatness and unite in greater abundance and harmony in our 2024 retreats.

Survive to Thrive: Survival and Struggle
January 20, 2022

This is the first of a seven-part series called Survive to Thrive. A little bit of background on why I chose to take us on this specific journey: in 2022, I'm going to be launching my new school program called the Soul Institute, which is exciting. As I was gathering ideas to put together for course programs, I was going through my book, Detox Nourish Activate, and one section in the Adrenal area, called the Personal Evolution Triad, stood out to me to be expounded upon. Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it takes us along the journey of self mastery.

Survive to Thrive: The Personal Evolution Triad
January 20, 2022

As a student and teacher for over two decades in the field of alternative medicine, I have come to understand the infinite nature of personal growth in an expansive way. In the writing of our new programs for the launch of our educational platform: The Soul Institute, I have refined the initial concept of the Personal Evolution Triad: Survive to Thrive. Based on the concept of Maslov’s Hierarchy, the Survive to Thrive diagram furthers the understanding of how we can evolve from the primary steps of survival and struggle. When we engage in the vicious cycle of struggle, dis-ease is perpetuated, whether it manifests in our body, mind, emotions or spirit.

Healing Abandonment
December 11, 2020

One of the reasons that we use essential oils is that when we're inhaling an essential oil or a synergy, it helps us connect to or create a new memory cell because of the powerful connection between olfaction and the limbic center of our brain that regulates so much of our physiology, specifically mood, memory, and emotion. And so with this process, we're able to create new and healthier neuro-pathways patterns to really shift the trajectory of our emotional response when we have triggering, overwhelming or stressful experiences.

I thought I would share a little story with you that is germane to the Adora Frequency and how it relates to me as an individual, as well as the Brennan school. For those of you that have gone through the program, you know we go into the depth of our core wounding in the first year. In the very first experience, we were brought back into the state of infancy and core wounding of the schizoid characterology, which was quite a surprise.

What Does Beauty, Faith, and Spirituality Have in Common?

Let's face it (wink) - the term beauty has a great deal of charge to it. We’ve been indoctrinated from too early an age of what beauty is "supposed" to look like. This messaging came from our parents and the culture of our heritage, the media, the maya of celebrity, and all the experiences we've had from the schoolyard to the corporate boardroom and even the bedroom where this has been reinforced.
