Join Karena Virginia for a week of deep clearing, reconnection, and co-creation from Jan 31 - Feb 6, 2027.
Through movement, breathwork, meditation, and energy healing, this retreat moves through five layers of the human field, helping release what no longer belongs and making space for a fresh beginning.
Journeying to the Self
There are times when simply thinking differently is no longer enough. You may have read the books, repeated affirmations, and set intentions, yet something still feels heavy. Old patterns return, grief lingers, fears resurface, and dreams stay just beyond reach.
This retreat is designed for deeper work and true transformation. In a sacred setting at Mahai, you will move beyond surface-level change and into energetic healing, clearing unseen imprints held in the body, mind, and ancestral field. Through this process, you can reconnect with the clarity that lives beneath the noise of modern life.
What We Will Explore
This is not only about calling in what you desire. It is also about clearing what stands in the way.
The Five Levels of Healing
Across these layers, the aim is to restore connection to your deeper source of clarity and guidance.
Practices & Modalities
Sessions throughout the week may include breath-led movement, meditation and mantra, energy clearing, EFT and acupressure, polyvagal-informed practices, trauma-sensitive approaches, inner child and rebirthing work, and guided affirmation practices. You will also leave with a personal mantra and daily integration tools to support your ongoing journey.
