The Act of Surrender
Retreats for Expansion
As humanity shifts to higher levels of consciousness, ThePEMS supports your journey through Expansion Retreats. Join Medicine Women and Men, Reiki Masters, body workers, energy healers, tantra teachers, and a blend of movement, art, breathwork, meditation, music, sound—and a reconnection to nature.
Our Expansion Retreats aren’t just guidance. They help you become your own guru—listening to your intuition and trusting what you feel, not the unconscious loops your mind keeps running. What synchronicities along your path might you be overlooking?
Step deep into your subconscious. Release mentally—unconscious loops and programs; release emotionally—old emotions you no longer need; release physically—pain and imbalances. Give yourself permission to move toward your healthiest, happiest self. Reconnect with your soul—your true self beyond this life’s experiences.
Live in trust and flow: breathe, meditate, reconnect with nature, and somatically move the body. Learn to work with the frequency and vibration of sound so you can bring consciousness and calm into every area of life—from work to relationships—staying grounded rather than easily pulled into someone else’s inner projections.
Live in presence. When you’re present, there’s nothing to fear—everything is perfect in this moment. Know that what’s happening is exactly for your highest good and the highest good of the collective, that everything unfolds in divine time, and that what you need will be there when you need it.
Remember who and what you are.
Letting go of who you think you are can feel uncomfortable—that discomfort is part of the path. When you find comfort in it, growth follows. Gratitude deepens. And you begin to discover who you are by seeing who you are not.
Choose one of our curated retreats or call us and we will assist you in customizing a retreat experience. The version of you you envision is already there—waiting for you to step in.

Surrendering to Your Flow | 1 Day
‘Permission Granted’
"You don't need more willpower. You need permission to let the old cycle go."
This retreat invites you to uncover the subconscious beliefs fueling your patterns, release the energetic charge of old blocks stored in the body, and rewrite your self-concept with new permission to move forward. Let your physical body unwind during the “Reset” Massage with Master Therapist, Esteban Campos—featuring myofascial release and craniosacral work. Then let your mind open with a private Sound Bath, supporting a deep felt sense of ease, alignment, and flow that can carry into daily life and deepen integration. Relax in the infrared sauna, enjoy lunch in the garden, and then step into “Permission Granted” with Reiki Master, Kelly Keefe—a 3-hour sacred workshop designed to help you pull the first thread, so old patterns can begin to unravel. A sacred cacao ceremony opens the journey. Start the day with hot, detoxing saunas to relax the body and clear the mind or Contrast Therapy to begin the process of resetting the nervous system and easing pain and inflammation (1-3 rounds of Finnish sauna and Cold Plunge Tub) Your experiences are: ‘Reset’ | 90 minutes A blend of Myofascial Release, Hot Herbal Thai Balls, and Craniosacral Therapy invites the body to loosen its hold on fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Exhale and surrender as Esteban gently eases each layer, allowing tissues to release and melt back into one another assisting cells to communicate so the reset can begin. Myofascial Release is a deep connective tissue massage; a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure to the skin to detect connective tissue restrictions in order to eliminate pain and restore motion. The Hot Herbal Thai ball ‘herbal pressing sphere’ is organic medicinal and healing herbs wrapped in a cotton cloth that is steam-heated to draw out the essential oils of the herb mixture. Used as a tool, it works the knots out of tight muscles & ligaments; especially the neck, upper back and shoulders, moves the lymphatic system and restores a balance to your energy flow. The aromatherapy creates a calming, harmonious effect in the body. Craniosacral Therapy Massage is a distinctive light-touch techniques used to release any restrictions Esteban finds. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CST naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being. It is recommended to follow this experience with infrared sauna, shower, and cold plunge to integrate and add to the benefits. Sound Bathing 45 minutes The practice of sound bathing is the practice of being deeply immersed in sounds and vibrations that have the power to cleanse and heal. A journey of self discovery, a sound bath is a very powerful experience that can cleanse your soul and restore your balance. Sound has a great influence on our emotions and health by affecting every cell in the body with frequencies that work with our own. Just as the frequency of a classical singing voice can shatter a glass, the frequency of sounds during this experience can help release emotions/energies that no longer serve you. Your mind and body will sink deeply into a relaxed state so you can infuse what serves your highest good in your new state of being. Lunch and Integration (journaling, art, stillness) Private Experience with Reiki Master, Kelly Keefe ‘Permission Granted’ A 3-Hour Transformational Experience Duration: 3 Hours | Coaching + Somatic Session Arc Ceremonial Cacao Opening Prepare and receive ceremonial cacao with intention.

Illuminating the Subconscious Using NLP, parts work, and subconscious inquiry, we uncover the root beliefs and patterns beneath the surface — the ones quietly running the burnout cycle and keeping you small. Release + Clearing Somatic and energetic tools to discharge the negative charge these patterns hold. We move the stored energy — not just talk about it — so the body experiences real release. Rewriting + Rewiring We consciously install new beliefs, a new self-concept, and new permission structures — so that the stories you walk with from here are ones that carry you forward with ease.

Learning to Arrive | 1 Day
‘Release what was—arrive where you are’
Quieting the mind is a gift we rarely give ourselves, yet the quiet mind is a peaceful mind, a present mind. A quiet mind allows you to receive the day, entering each new space with no expectations and allowing the experience in front of you to unfold. It’s in the stillness of the mind that we find clarity, are able to put space around ‘problems’, and experience life in a less stressful and more joyful way. In this Quiet retreat you will learn how to arrive. No electronics, no books, light conversations. We will look at your list of every habit you have from the minute you wake until the second you fall into slumber ‘From Wake to Sleep’, along with a Conscious Massage with Master Therapist Jose Morales, and and a full body exfoliation with Egyptian geranium. This day is designed to help you create inner spaciousness: breathwork to soften mental noise, guided meditation to quiet the mind, and compassionate practices that help you let go, and reset your energy. By the end you leave with a clearer sense of what you’re ready to release and a stronger ability to return to presence whenever life gets loud. Integration: Quiet time in the garden, journaling and Art Therapy with Hana Experiences: Contrast therapy to begin the process of resetting the nervous system while the cold challenges the mind to find comfort in the uncomfortable -- 1-3 rounds of Finnish sauna and Cold Plunge Tub ‘Moving through the Spiral’ | Master Therapist, Jose Morales | 1 hour and 45 minute experience This full body conscious massage is held in a safe, attentive space, guided by Master Therapist, Jose Morales. This journey carries you gently into the container that grounds you, visiting old patterns from a higher awareness, and finally floating up your spiral - your state of awakened, coherent, awareness to release pain and stagnation in the physical and emotional body. Working with the Geometries of Consciousness, this full body massage experience begins with a 15-minute conversation with Jose to discuss current concerns, inner conflicts, and where they are being held in your body causing imbalances, and discomfort or pain—heaviness stored away inside you. Through intuitive massage that may blend myofascial release, Swedish strokes, deep tissue, and craniosacral work—along with breath, sound, tuning forks, and energy work—you’re invited to feel, recognize, and sink deeper into your inner body. As you gently spiral around, the subconscious softens and the body follows: tensions ease, old patterns are acknowledged with gratitude, and then released—making space for a new, integrated way of being. This immersion supports a mindful unburdening—making space for ease, presence, and renewed balance. ‘From Wake to Sleep’ | 2 hours The experience begins with a gentle check-in—how you’ve been living, what you repeat without thinking, and what you truly want your life to support. You’re guided to notice your habits the way they are: not to judge them, but to understand what they were protecting you from and what they’re costing you now. Next comes a “de-cluttering” of your day. Together, you sort habits into what still serves your highest self and what’s time to retire. Retired habits might include patterns that keep you anxious, overextended, distracted, or disconnected from your body—late-night spirals, rushing, doom-scrolling, self-criticism, inconsistent movement, or anything that silently steals your calm. Then, instead of simply removing them, you replace them with upgraded, realistic habits that match who you’re becoming. You get tailored tools to make the change stick: simple routines that fit your real schedule, body-based practices that calm your nervous system, and mindful cues that help you choose differently in the moment. You also learn how to create “friction” for old patterns and “easy access” for the new ones—so healthier behaviors feel natural, not forced. As the days go on, your environment and structure get aligned with your intention. You practice attention (so your mind stops running the show), build small habits that restore energy, and let go of the mental stories that used to keep you stuck. By the end, you leave with an updated habit map—what to release, what to keep, what to start, and exactly how to return to your calm and highest self whenever life pulls you off course. Egyptian Geranium full body exfoliation – Master Therapist | 1 hour Our Egyptian geranium sugar scrub offers a calming, sacred-feeling cleanse as its warm, desert-sand-like sugar gently exfoliates away dead skin, lifting dullness helping to remove buildup allowing skin to look smoother and more even. During the ritual massage, the scent of geranium and slow circular scrubbing can feel grounding and peaceful, and assist daily moisturizers to absorb more evenly. The result is skin that feels refreshed and renewed—comfortable, velvety, and visibly brighter—like a gentle reset from head to toe. $799 includes all services, experiences, lunch, full retreat & tips
