IRL Retreat

Most retreats take you away from your real life. Hoping that, whatever you learn while you are away, you will be able to apply to your life, when you return. A break and a new perspective can be really helpful, and a retreat literally means to pull back, or retreat from your normal life, so you can heal, and return, able to process things better. But, sometimes the support, new opportunities, and skills you need are in your REAL LIFE?
IRL Retreat is different. IRL stands for "In Real Life".
IRL Retreat is a grounded and practical reset.
We meet you where you are at (literally and figuratively). We support you to accept all parts of yourself. We connect you to local support.
This will allow you to:
- Thrive
- Create heaven on earth, in your everyday life
- Speak your truth, and
- Be the pioneer you've always dreamed of being!
One of the greatest applications for this retreat is when children refuse to go to school, when adults can no longer show up for work, or when our normal places to go suddenly make us feel sick.
Will you be next to transform your life?
According to my Gene Keys, and the nodal trajectory in my natal Astrology, the only way that I can succeed in life, is by moving from "indifference" (because I know I can manage whatever comes) to embracing my gift of being "the game player", showing others how "versatile" they can be (bringing them with me, because it doesn't count if I make it alone anymore, the Universe already knows that I know how to do that).
Are you ready to graduate to the next level?
If you are interested, please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!
Its unfortunate that the articles I wrote to help families get through COVID have all disappeared:
- Transmuting the school system, to support everyone!
- Transmuting the school system, to support everyone! (pt2)
- Transmuting mainstream, forget the school system for now (pt3)
- Time to sew the education system back together
....along with the e-magazines that I wrote for and edited to support families, people looking for alternative health care, and entrepreneurs (who were either learning to find their voice, or were in a position where they could not speak, but I could speak to my experience with them instead), and of course acting as a conduit for my Astrology teacher to take the next step and teach Astrology level 1&2 to two cohorts of students:

As you can see in one of the testimonials below, my support group also went under, and the online communities that I created for Astrology and Parents (because many of my clients choose to let go of social media after working with me, so they can enjoy the life in front of them instead) have also been closed.
I think this is a good thing, because I think it is time to for us to shift all this online activity to the original mission, to support people IRL (in real life). I think The Mystic Tree is the perfect venue to do this, and I don't think I need to be present for this to happen. The owner (Alison Bajona) is quite capable of being the center for this hub of support, and the rest of us are just a call or text away, and will drive in when we are needed.
We all run into trouble, we all make mistakes, we all deserve to be loved and supported. Showing up and knowing there is a place IRL (in real life) where we can be there for each other, is what we need to to feel safe enough to evolve, feel fulfilled, thrive, and give back to our community.
Maybe these lyrics will help understand how important The Mystic Tree can be in our lives:

"In addition to providing sessions for me (and my daughter by proxy, whom she also provided childcare for when I would come for sessions) on a sliding scale, in 2023-2024, Alahnnaa also drove us to see RestoreChi practitioners, brought in a practitioner to host an Energy Awareness session for me at her home, connected me with a holistic dentist and a couple alternative schools/programs for my daughter (go here see the people she refers to often: Outside Referrals), sat in on an Astrology consultation on my behalf, and acted as a sounding board, for me to send information to, filtering it through her experience, sometimes listening to podcasts, signing up for emails, purchasing and reading books, that I didn't have the health, bandwidth, energy, or time for, so she could understand where I was coming from and send me highlights, that might apply to what I was going through."

"I was in legal battles with my old job when I first started to work with Alahnnaa Campbell. I found her at a Mental Health Awareness event run by Stride. Not only was she willing to see me on exchange for helping her with her kids and her business (doing crafts or attending shows), she also gave me the opportunity to teach and hold space for her clients (through The Grounding Sanctuary - a peer support group, which I thought was my dream, at the time), when the agency I was a part of asked me to leave, because I could not adhere to their COVID mandates. She was even supportive when the support I was providing for her and her clients did not feel right for me anymore. She continues to be a friend and to visit when we can, as I have moved to a much better place (away from an abusive landlord, to a place where my partner and I are able to do work that we enjoy, have experiences that we love, and are appreciated, educated, and well taken care of). She has always been supportive of me doing what works for me."
