The Scared Shift Retreat: Into the Fire - Advancing Inner Technology

The Sacred Shift: Into the Fire
Advancing Inner Technology Through Embodied Truth

This is not a retreat to fix yourself.
You are not broken.

This is a retreat for those who can feel that something fundamental is reorganizing from the inside out.

For those who are rising out of an old identity and know, at a cellular level, that their current circumstances no longer match who they are becoming.

The Sacred Shift is a recalibration.
A remembering.
An embodied return to what is already true.
It is about authenticity that lives in the body.
Embodiment that does not require force.
Sacred relationship with yourself, with others, and with Life itself.

WHAT THIS JOURNEY IS REALLY ABOUT
The Sacred Shift is an immersive four-day initiatory process of reclaiming your gifts, your courage, and your aliveness.
It is for the version of you emerging from the shadows.
The one who no longer wishes to shrink, over-function, or disappear to stay safe.
Here, you grant yourself permission to stop managing your becoming and instead integrate it.
You are guided to align with the deepest parts of your Vision and your Voice, not as concepts, but as lived, embodied truth.
In a world filled with noise, urgency, and fragmentation, remembering who you are can feel daunting. Yet this remembering is essential if you are to live, love, and lead from integrity rather than survival.

THE SPACE WE HOLD
We create sacred, grounded space to gently and powerfully lay down:

• identities that once protected you
• roles built on self-sacrifice or over-responsibility
• patterns shaped by fear, abandonment, or the need to belong

Through ritual, presence, and guided process, what is complete is honored and released so what is true can emerge without force.
This is not transcendence through bypassing.
This is integration through embodiment.

SETTING
Held within the forested sanctuary of Hero’s Journey Retreat Centre, The Sacred Shift weaves together:

• Zen Trilotherapy
• breathwork
• Indigenous-informed ritual
• ancestral healing
• conscious release
• embodied presence practices

All guided within a coherent arc of releasing, receiving, and rebirth.

THIS SACRED SHIFT IS FOR YOU IF:

• You feel the egoic scaffolding of your life loosening
• Old identities no longer fit, but the new has not fully landed
• Grief is surfacing without a place to be honored
• You are done bypassing and ready to integrate light and shadow
• You long for harmony between doing and being, structure and flow
• You desire sovereignty that lives in the body, not just the mind
• You are ready to become a clearer vessel for Divine intelligence to move through
• You are seeking peace in your nervous system, coherence within your inner world, and alignment at the cellular level

This is not about motivation or inspiration.
This is about embodied truth.

“ Jeri and Orest are incredible Spirit-led presenters. I love how you connected with each of us. You opened and facilitated such a sacred and safe space for all of us. You are both such a gift.
It’s hard to pick just one or two favourite parts. The teachings were so Spirit filled. The experiences were profound. Ho’oponopono, Trilotherapy introduction, the breathwork experience was new to me and so incredible. Don’t change a thing.

I am amazed that you can so easily shift to what you “know” the group needs, you embody the trust and surrender that you teach. There was a perfect balance between the two of you and the input followed by experience and sharing. I am filled with gratitude for the shift I experienced and am still processing. Life changing powerful weekend. "
