Destinations Retreats

Asheville, North Carolina, May 24 - 26, 2024

Community and Connection Retreat

Come explore and join in community this Spring for a weekend in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains; situated between heaven and earth the Sky Temple will provide a sacred sanctuary to journey into the truths held inside ourselves.

With the support of guided facilitation an intentional community will nurture a surfacing of one’s own healing to blossom outward in the turn of spring. In preparation for our two medicine journeys, in small groups we will have exercises, meditation, and sharing. This will begin the exploration of self to self, self to others, and self to the divine that so deeply influence the ways in which we all walk through the world.

Following the natural cycle of the world this weekend will be dedicated to manifesting outward our intentions for the warmer months to come through a softening of our heads and a movement into our hearts.

Success Stories

  • “Shane has a level of expertise and brilliance that is beyond what the average guide can offer – spirit runs through him, he sees and feels what others don’t have the senses for. His diverse background helps him to provide just the right guidance, in the right way, at the right time. There have been so many times when I have needed “something”, not knowing what that was and Shane had the perfect “gift” for me in that moment to continue.”

    — Laura Schneider

  • “I have found a trustworthy, compassionate and nurturing teacher and a safe container for the healing.....Working with him both individually and in group journeys has been a powerful catalyst for clearing and putting down the weight of old patterns related to personal, cultural and religious trauma. This has made space for healing energy that is creating exciting and expansive new pathways within and without..... I am beyond grateful for Shane’s wisdom, passion and integrity as we continue our work together.”
    - Sharon Martin
