Details
Step into your power and embrace your most authentic self at Own Your Crown, a transformative retreat led by Spiritual Medium Rhonda Rhodes, Success Through Inner Peace Coach Nicole Batiste, and Mobility Moxie Kathy Clarke. This retreat is designed to nourish your body, expand your mind, and empower your spirit, guiding you through an immersive journey of self-discovery, alignment, and celebration. Across five themed days—The Apprentice, The Explorer, The Seer, The Sage, and The Crowned Creator—you’ll experience a progression that supports the whole self: The Apprentice lays the foundation with intention-setting and clearing space for transformation. The Explorer invites gentle movement, group activities, and reflection to expand awareness in body and mind. The Seer awakens intuition and inner vision through creative expression and synchronicity. The Sage activates innate wisdom through philosophy, spiritual teachings, and reflective practices. The Crowned Creator integrates body, mind, and spirit in a closing celebration and ceremony. Through guided meditations, gentle mobility practices, creative expression, intuitive development, and empowerment workshops, you’ll awaken your gifts, align with your truth, and cultivate inner peace. Set against the backdrop of mountain vistas, Own Your Crown offers a relaxed, intimate, and supportive environment—complete with opportunities for one-on-one sessions, sound baths, and time to simply rest and reflect. Together, we’ll create a sacred container that allows you to shed limitations, connect deeply with yourself and community, and emerge fully aligned with your authentic essence. It’s time to Own Your Crown: Integrating Body, Mind, and Spirit—and step into the wholeness of who you truly are.
