This Workshop is an integrative approach to healing based upon Family Constellation Work & Somatic Trauma Healing.

By working gently, honestly and directly with facts, rather than stories, Constellation work allows for real resolution and healing. It is a powerful tool in treating complex and often tragic relationship systems of individuals and families.

This experiential workshop provides a safe environment in which to look at unconscious loyalties which may be blocking the flow of love within your family and in your life. Once visible, through acknowledgement and restoration of order in the system, an opportunity for healing and change is created. Participants will be introduced to new ways of stepping into strength, taking their place in the world, finding love. The work accesses resources you can use to expand your capacity for joy, success, and living life fully, for yourself and your family members.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS

• Resolve misunderstandings, entanglements and blocks in family, partnerand other relationships;
• Break cycles of disconnection, alienation, abuse, dysfunction and poverty;

“It has been a life altering honor to attend the retreat dedicated to growing toward my higher self and connecting to the divine spirit that surrounds all life. I am learning to open myself to acceptance and gratitude while unblocking my fearful self. A feeling of calmness is replacing my ever-present anxiousness. The comfort of the community of kindred souls during this intricate spiritual journey has been of monumental help. I am integrating many of the practical tools taught to us and feel more alive and at home in the world. This challenging process of transformational growth is fascinating. The retreats have complemented and intensified the individual and group work I have done with Lorraine. Feeling comfortable in a group is something new and amazing!”

“I am not traditionally one to publicly share my feelings, but I find the need to tell the world about the incredible and enlightening experience I had at your Holistic Retreat in July. Being immersed in a healing environment, totally out of my normal orbit was enlightening andrelieving for me. I was able to feel like the self I had buried under obligations and routines. I knew life was becoming burdensome and I seemed to be having less fun as the yrs unfolded, but I had no idea how different I could feel & how to get started. I am amazed at the impact this one week retreat has had on my life, and am confidently on my way to a more relaxed, for-filling life, filled with fun!”

We are to do our shadow work first since:

• We have Traumas
• We come in with Karma
• We have negative thoughts

When we do our shadow work, we can transform these darker energies into Light…providing a spaciousness for positive thoughts and manifestations to bloom.

When we embrace our shadow we discover the gifts of our authentic nature.
Our dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life.

“Dear Lorraine i need you to know, I feel eternally thankful to you. I received more than i had hoped for. It was life changing for me… It felt a sense of surrender. My heart felt lighter and very open . I now feel emotionally stronger. It had a great impact on my being. I felt like i was looking @ the world with a different lens. I felt compassion and empathy for people i love and who i feel need the surrender and openness i was experiencing. I felt hope for them through me. I felt contagious!! I felt my true self, i had never felt before.

Now only a couple of weeks later and back to reality although the enlightenment has lessened in intensity, i continue to feel the openness,the imprint the healing left on my soul. This holistic program also left me with the need to continue on this healing path to unbind the heart and soul.”

- Thank you, with love…

“On the journey to know oneself in a deep and meaningful way, it is easy to be distracted by the roadblocks inherent in our everyday lives.

Lorraine Antine and the Holistic Recovery Retreat created a path toward self-discovery, a safe, nurturing environment to begin the journey from our shadows to our light.

During our time together, we began to peel away our excess layers, the masks we wear to hide our true selves. In such a time of vulnerability, Lorraine ensured our safety and our dignity. Only through the breaking down of barriers were we able to create new space for inner peace and joy.

As guide and mentor, Lorraine showed us how to be responsible to lift ourselves to a place of higher consciousness, and in the process, realize our greatest potential.

My heart has never felt so full as it did when surrounded by the love and support created by the women of our community. Our time together was truly a miracle. I am eternally grateful to Lorraine and the entire retreat community.”

- With love,
Rosemary Donnelly

“I feel the reflective effect is more of a seeping into my system rather than a rush. I am amazed I was able to do so much yoga! Also, being away from outside information was refreshing. I wish I could integrate both those realities more smoothly into my routines. I want to be able to fully actualize the the higher level of consciousness and omnipresent Godly spirit I felt. I am frustrated that it is not a simple experience for me although I do feel a deeper connectedness to everything. It is with anticipation and intense curiosity I await the next step on my new path.I am so grateful to be a part of this pilgrimage.”

- Susanne Nowak (aka Long)

“If you are working with Lorraine you already walk in the sunshine on the road less traveled. Her retreat allowed us to walk that road in community, with a guide who leads from her heart, generously bestowing us with her gifts of empathy, humor, spontaneity and love. So, yes, I’d like to keep on truckin’. Sign me up for the November retreat.”

- With Love and Appreciation,

It is interpreted to mean higher knowledge or spiritual consciousness.  This is the wisdom that comes from the Higher Self and is all – knowing.  Reiki can be defined as spiritually guided life energy and guides itself with its own wisdom..

Reiki works on “cause” rather than effects” of Dis-Ease..Reiki energy has several basic effects: it brigs about deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system , provides new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.  In Reiki the hands are placed above the recipient, and it is the recipient that draws the energy as needed.

Great master teachers of ancient wisdoms and poetic truths have historically sighted inner landscapes as prime locations for launching journeys to discover the realities of ourselves, our purpose, our connection with the universe.

You see, it is after all, about us. Not the self-focused, self-involved little us, devoid of interaction and regard for others. Rather, the Us that seeks to find our true function among humanity. The Us that will allow Spirit’s urge to move toward our divine, ideal expression of life at Its fullest, most joyful condition.

Let’s equate this joyful condition to the typically beloved food-chocolate. Consider the relationship between this dark, satisfying substance we crave, and the similar seeking for dark, satisfying connection to the soul. How can we savor the sweetness of the shadow (chocolate), inherent in soul journeys, while acknowledging, yet not indulging in, the fear, guilt, and shame possibly encountered while diving deeply into this bittersweet chocolate of our soul?

As we begin this journey inward, longing for the depth of experience, we can safely engage with these bittersweet moments, as the practitioner gently guides this chocolate experience. We are assisted in accessing our inner intelligence which transforms old traumas into wholeness. Like water for chocolate, life itself supports this bittersweet journey.

This Healing Process is particularly useful for:

* Transforming addictive/habitual behaviors and patterns on ALL levels

Holistic means relating to or concerned with the wholes or with complete systems rather than the treatment of parts.The physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a being is treated so as to stimulate the self-healing potential.

This process assists in discovering and healing the underlying root causes of habitual destructive behaviors that can rule our lives. It is based upon the ancient wisdom that there is beyond the “addictive identity” that offers the possibility of moving out of shameful identites into the place of wholeness and strength of our True Natures. The problems underlying dependency habits have both physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual components. The “why” may not always be apparent since it is hidden by the addictive/habitual behavior or substance or other symptoms that may mask the pain. It takes a specialized approach to uncover and transform specific reasons for dependency.

The practitioner supports the process by assisting us in discovering what was once hidden. Trapped energies can be transmuted and integrated back into the river of life – our flow strengthens. As we are guided to source; insights, healing and joy await our arrival and may delight our senses.

Holistic Psychotherapy, as practiced here, is based upon the principle that life is a metaphor. The whole body, or being, which includes the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies, is seen as a bridge to the soul, and a vehicle for personal transformation. This work focuses on developing spiritual maturity and psychological insight, allowing needed space in which to make life choices, allowing needed space in which to live freely.

You are invited to The Holistic Recovery Retreat, focusing on the four dimensions of our being. Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual, our all-inclusive 6 day, 5 night summer retreat is designed to holistically approach all aspects of participants well-being in their journey to full recovery.

There are a limited number of scholarships available to those qualified. Contact us for more info.

This process of art therapy, which is not about making art, can alleviate emotional stress and anxiety by creating physiological response of relaxation or by altering mood, and increase serotonin in the brain.

Because art expression is not a linear process and need not obey the rules of language, it can express many complexities simultaneously. This process can help people explore and express themselves authentically and find relief from overwhelming emotions, crises, or trauma. Insights and a sense of well-being may be some of the outcomes.
