Our intimate gathering is limited to ten invitees and will be centered at Heartwood on Orcas,  a waterview home in Eastsound, the main village on Orcas Island.  Orcas is called the Gem of the San Juans and you’ll have many opportunities to discover her splendor.  Moran State Park and Turtleback Mountain offer incredible hiking trails, waterfalls, mountain lakes and broad vistas.  

Our intention is to provide deep healing and gentle introspection with plenty of fun and joyful moments throughout our days together. You will be nurtured with a Morning Stretch, Meditation and Breakfast.  There will be a Morning and Afternoon Session presented by Jo on each of the thirteen lessons on the journey back to self-love laid out so beautifully in Jo’s book (see below)

This five day retreat in the serenity and magic of Orcas Island, will be a unique opportunity to take time out of one’s busy life and focus just on you. In these 5 days we will be learning the thirteen channeled lessons and wisdom to self-love laid out in Jo Jayson’s award winning book “Self-Love through The Sacred Feminine” 

Each day we will be aligning with different aspects of the beautiful and life changing guidance of these thirteen Sacred Feminine archetypes Jo has channeled and painted. We will explore in depth these aspects of self-love and how so many of us struggle and suffer in our quest to love ourselves unconditionally. Offering love to oneself brings miracles and shifts into our lives that we can only imagine.
