Awakening the Heart - Healing Holy Hurt
A 2.5-Day Experiential Retreat
There are wounds that cut deeper than ordinary pain.
They are the wounds that come from love…
from family…
from faith…
from places that were supposed to be sacred.
Many of us carry what could be called holy hurt — the quiet grief that forms when our deepest longing for belonging, meaning, and connection has been betrayed.
Sometimes it comes from religion that shamed us.
Sometimes from parents who loved imperfectly.
Sometimes from the ways we abandoned ourselves just to survive.
And yet inside that hurt lives something sacred.
The same place that was wounded is also the place where healing begins.
Awakening the Heart: Healing Holy Hurt is a 2.5-day immersive retreat designed to help you gently uncover, understand, and transform the deeper emotional and spiritual wounds that shape your life.
Through powerful experiential practices, guided reflection, and heart-centered community, you will be invited to reclaim the sacred parts of yourself that pain once obscured.
This retreat is not about fixing you.
It is about remembering who you were before the wound told you who you had to be.
What You Will Experience
Throughout the weekend we will explore:
• Healing wounds connected to faith, family, and belonging
• Releasing shame and reclaiming your authentic voice
• Transforming pain into wisdom and compassion
• Reconnecting with the sacred intelligence of the heart
• Learning practices for emotional and spiritual integration
Using experiential processes, storytelling, guided ritual, and reflective practices, we create a container where deep healing becomes possible.
This work is powerful, compassionate, and grounded in both ancient wisdom traditions and modern psychological insight.
The Invitation
At some point in every life we must ask:
Am I living inside a story… or am I living in truth?
This retreat is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the reality that lives within your heart.
Join us for Awakening the Heart: Finding the Real in Reality.
Hosted at the Gate of Zion National Park
Held on sacred land at the edge of Zion National Park, this retreat is intentionally intimate and limited in size.
We are wounded in relationship.
And we heal in relationship.
The Awakening the Heart retreats are designed to create a safe and sacred container where individuals can reconnect with their deepest truth.
This is not a lecture.
This is an experiential retreat designed for real transformation.
