The 2027 Retreat takes a deeper dive into Consciousness, Reality & The God Particle. Jo & Patricia cover the latest findings in Quantum Physics and bring you Esoteric Practices that support the theme. Jo presents each lecture with slides and video showing how science is now examining Consciousness. Where is consciousness located? How do we create Reality?

About the Women's Retreats ...

Jo and Patricia founded the annual Women's Spiritual Retreats began in 2011. Since then it's become a "must attend" event in Sarasota. Women come from across the US, Canada, and Scotland to be part of these extraordinary gatherings in Southwest Florida. Past attendees say these retreats, "Enhance or change their lives; create a sacred connection with spirit; inspire and enrich existing spiritual practices; make complex topics easy to understand and assimilate; and offer valuable tools and practices that can be used in daily life."

The retreats are held at DaySpring Retreat Center in Ellenton which sits on 96 acres of old Florida trees and mangroves along the banks of the Manatee River. Nature trails, a large Chartres inspired labyrinth, and the 1800's St. Thomas' chapel in the woods give retreaters a place to get away from their normal day to day routines and unwind with like-minded women in this beautiful setting. We host the retreats in the auditorium or large classrooms based on the number attending. DaySpring provides overnight accommodations with single or double occupancy and meals.

Each Retreat covers specific teachings developed by Jo and Patricia in how to live a consciously spiritual life. Jo presents material using slides, videos and lectures. You'll experience inspiring guided meditations and practices led by Patricia. You'll be taught advanced esoteric practices, and you'll reconnect with parts of yourself that have long been dormant. A typical Retreat begins with registration at 8 and a guided meditation to start the program. We break for lunch then the afternoon sessions might include a labyrinth walk, drumming, or the creation of a Vesica Piscis until 5 pm. The cost of the Retreat is $100 (accommodations are an additional price.) Retreat cost includes lunch and coffee, tea and snacks all day. Each attendee is given a new book written entirely in support of the Retreat's theme.

Retreat Topics ....

Since 2011 topics have been chosen to inspire, uplift and take students to the next level where they learn that guidance is within. We began with Sound and then Sound Healing teaching toning of both the Bija and Vowel sounds and how mantras can change the atmosphere. We then moved to the Nature of Reality and how to not only be a catalyst for change, but to also change the conversation through practices like forgiveness and frequency modulation to heal the body mind and soul. Covid interrupted the in-person retreats so we did two years on ZOOM which was not ideal but it kept the momentum going. Returning to live Retreats in 2022 we merged science and spirituality into a cohesive unit where Reality and Consciousness supported the I AM presence in all things.
