Hear what your Spirit Guides are sharing and step into the conversation.
This weeklong retreat is designed to deepen your connection with your spiritual team as a steady, trustworthy source of guidance, clarity, and transformation.
The work unfolds through real-time dialogue. You arrive with what is alive in your life, and your Guides respond. From that exchange, what is ready to be seen, addressed, and shifted begins to emerge. Participants learn how to remain in that conversation long enough for it to become clear, grounded, and actionable.
The retreat is built around Aja Daashuur’s CCCE Method™: Connect, Channel, Clear, Embody — a framework shaped through years of direct work with Spirit Guides and ongoing connection to the unseen.
Participants cultivate a grounded relationship with their spiritual team while exploring their intuitive language through oracle cards, guided exercises, divination tools, invocations, meditation, and the clairs — the intuitive senses through which information is received. Seeing, hearing, feeling, and knowing are all part of the process. Patterns are met directly through Spirit, and insight is brought into the body so it can become lived change.
Over the course of the retreat, Aja’s Spirit Guides lead a sequence of channeled journeys that move through past, present, and future. These experiences illuminate the ways different moments in your life are connected, offering a deeper understanding of your path and your choices.
This retreat is for those ready to move beyond first contact and begin working directly with the guidance they receive. The emphasis is on staying in communication, understanding what is being revealed, and allowing that wisdom to inform real movement in your life.
Discover practices that support an ongoing relationship with your Guides, one that continues to provide clarity, direction, and support long after the retreat ends.
It is a strong next step for those who have attended Aja’s Spirit Bridge retreat at Esalen, or for those who already recognize the ways their intuitive senses are present within them.
