Each of us is being called to step into our fullest potential as lightworkers at this time. A lightworker is anyone who has dedicated him or herself to serving the Light. This is not always easy and is a choice one has to make over and over again.
This retreat is for you if:
• You want to know more about the practical aspects of being a lightworker,
• You want to enhance your lightwork,
• You want to commit/recommit yourself to being a lightworker,
• If you wonder if you are supposed to do something as a lightworker, or,
• Wish to feel greater support in a nurturing community of other lightworkers.
Within this weekend you will learn more about what lightworkers do and gain practical skills on how to:
• Create sacred space and set energetic boundaries (especially for empaths)
• Sharpen your intuitive tools
• Tap into your heart space more easily for guidance
• Raise the vibrations, starting with your own
• Create altars to enhance the spiritual vibration of your personal space
• Maintain a strong grounded energy body
• Keep your energy body cleared
• Focus on emotional release (forgiveness and more) to enhance your lightwork
• Create a daily spiritual discipline or enhance it
• Attune with the Christ/Buddha/Krishna Consciousness and Earth Mother to heighten your
lightwork
• Walk the path of spiritual service as a Lightworker
• Discern when to work in groups versus solo lightwork
• Conduct basic ceremony to heighten your lightwork
• And more.
You will also receive spiritual attunements to awaken your chakras and deepen your spiritual connection to Earth Mother/Gaia, to strengthen your lightworker skills.

From Chani Nicolas:
"May we take this opportunity to dedicate every ounce of our energy, talent, ability, magic and more to stand with and for each other…
“May every song that leaves our lips be a song of resilience, protest and protection. May every dance we dance be one that calls on the power of our ancestors, our angels and our guides to help us find our way through this. May every painting help us witness what we are, what we are capable of, what we can become.
"We must be grounded. Rooted. Stable and unwavering. Our root systems connected. Interdependent. Linked up. Locking it down.
“Together, we must be a forest. A place that supplies oxygen. Covering. Shade. An eco-system. A shelter for the sacred. Individually, we must each be a small but vital part of something much bigger than ourselves.
“We must be in our bodies. So that we know what to do to take care of them. Know when to sit something out. Know when to engage. Know when we need care. Know when we can give it.
“We must be like the Sequoias. Able to withstand the test of time. The snowfall. The fires. The floods. In it for the long haul. In it for thousands of years. Sturdy. Growing. Nourished by the ancient soil. By the wisdom of all the work that was done before us.
“We must be calm when we can, so that we don’t burn out. Dignified. Determined. Unrelenting. Unwilling to deny what is at stake. Unflinching as we look into the future.
“No matter how bleak it looks right now.
“This is a time to awaken to our shortcomings. To our privileges. To our place in the grand scheme of things. This is a time to witness the greatest initiation we may have gone through in recent history.
“Personally, perhaps. Collectively, absolutely.
“This is the moment to fill ourselves with what feels generative. Loving. Kind. Life-enhancing. Life-affirming. Life-sustaining. This is the time to gather over good food while we strategize about self-care and the revolution. This is the time to take care of the physical reactions that we are experiencing as the reality of where we are now sinks in. This is the time to educate ourselves on how folks have faced and survived similar tyrannical take-overs. This is the time to find ways to work with the fears in our own hearts and in the hearts of those around us.
“This is a time to build and rebuild the most secure connections that we have. To lay roots where we can. To dig into our humanity and our capacity to grow ourselves into the kind of people, the kind of society and the kind of country that we want to leave to the seedlings of the world. "
