Release & Regulate Day Retreat
When: Saturday, May 24th, 2025 10:00 am – 6:00 pm EST or Sunday May 25th, 2025 10:00 am – 6:00 pm EST WHERE: Grand Bend, Ontario (address provided upon registration) – picture here is of actual location ABOUT: Join Shawna Thibodeau and Laurie Oakes for a healing day retreat, where we’ll explore releasing what might be keeping us stuck and no longer serves us and practicing greater internal regulation and grounded-ness. 95% of our lives are governed by the subconscious mind. Within it, we hold thoughts, perspectives, and belief systems that often operate outside of our awareness. These subconscious patterns are shaped by childhood experiences, societal norms, cultural conditioning, and both micro and macro traumas. They impact nearly every aspect of our lives—our thoughts, emotions, stress levels, relationships, reactions, and our ability to take action on our desires, set boundaries, and live authentically. This retreat offers a space to explore how your thoughts and subconscious mind influence your experience in the present. Healing, transformation, and growth all occur in the Now—the exact conditions for your healing and expansion exist in this moment and in the circumstances of your life right now. Throughout the retreat, you’ll uncover what’s happening in your present reality that can serve as a doorway to greater healing, alignment, and empowerment. By exploring your thoughts, beliefs, and subconscious patterns, you’ll learn how to move beyond fear-based thinking and tap into a deeper sense of fulfillment, clarity and personal power as you move forward on your path. Register Now Modalities included on The Power of Now Retreat The Release & Regulate Retreat includes a powerful combination of modalities that can provide deep release, healing, clarity, insight and shifts within. These include meditation, breathwork, intuition development exercises, group mediumship sessions, inner child work, embodiment + co-creation. Meditation Meditation practice helps us quiet our minds and connect to our true selves and inner truths. A 25-30-minute guided meditation practice period will be included. Breathwork Breathwork is a practice of consciously working with your breathing pattern, lying down, to music. The rhythmic breathing in breathwork helps put the mind into different meditative states. Putting our mind into meditative states allows us to experience our thoughts, emotions, and situations in life in a different way compared to the analytical/thinking mind. It’s also a space for going inwards and connecting with your inner truths and your heart’s needs & desires. Meditation & Breathwork can help with… Insights and understanding of different situations in your life Healing of the mind and body Deep sense of peace and bliss New creative ideas Deep connection towards oneself Ideas of life direction/next steps Release of emotions that might be limiting you and keeping you stuck Calming of the nervous system Greater awareness of patterns of the mind Boosting of mood Boosting of self-esteem, confidence & feelings of empowerment Intuitive coaching / Group Mediumship Laurie Oakes is a gifted medium who channels messages from the Divine that assist you on your life path. During a group channeling or intuitive coaching session, Laurie works around the room and channels a message for each person. Often these messages provide guidance, clarity and direction on different areas in your life and guidance is often provided on ways to work through and approach different challenges. You can also ask Laurie for guidance on a certain area of life. *Some of the messages that come through may involve suppressed or unresolved emotions or traumas you are working on healing* Inner Child Work & Manifestation (i.e. Co-Creation) Work Stepping into our highest path also involves healing things from the past that may still be affecting our lives (our thought patterns, belief systems, mood & emotions, behaviours and levels of stress). Through inner child work activities we work to heal the past so that we can move forward in a more confident and peaceful way. After we strengthen our connection to our inner voice and inner guidance system, we then also work to align our energy in the direction of our truths and desires, helping them become a reality within our lives. release & regulate day retreat Saturday, May 24th, 2025 $ 497 00 A healing day retreat with Shawna Thibodeau and Laurie Oakes to release, regulate and find greater clarity and groundedness within. 10am-6pm EST Grand Bend, ON Register now Cancellation/Refund policy: 50% of payment is a non-refundable deposit – no exceptions.
