Let’s talk about what too few people in the world of modern day awakening want to say out loud…
If you’ve ever left a spiritual community feeling smaller than when you arrived, handed over your power to a teacher who turned out to be anything but enlightened, or found yourself defending someone’s “divine” behavior that — let’s be real — would be a red flag anywhere else, this retreat is for you.
This is an educational and restorative immersion for people who have had less than favorable experiences with spiritual groups, self-appointed gurus, self-appointed higher up than other teachers, and so-called experts — including folks teaching within long established spiritual traditions.
And also? This is for people who are willing to look honestly at the ways they’ve participated in their own confusion.
Because here’s the thing: it goes both ways.
When you’re being bullshitted
There’s a whole psychology behind spiritual manipulation — and it doesn’t always look like a cult. Sometimes it’s subtle. Often times we’re reminded how much free will we have and that “it’s not a cult.”
A teacher who keeps you just dependent enough to keep coming back. An organization whose love-bombing turns to shame the moment you ask a real question. Charisma weaponized as authority. We’ll look at both unconscious and conscious manipulation — the teacher who genuinely believes their own hype, and the one who knows exactly what they’re doing — so you can recognize the difference between genuine transmission and a well-dressed power trip and also understand that someone can transmit powerful spiritual truths while being incredibly
Psychologically unwell. Both, ironically, can exist at the same time.
When you’re bullshitting yourself
This one’s harder to talk about — and more important. Spiritual bypassing. Gaslighting your own gut because the framework you’ve been handed sounds more evolved than your actual feelings and everyone else is doing it. Assigning cosmic meaning to things that just… don’t deserve that level of intentionality. Staying in something that isn’t working because leaving feels unspiritual or you keep questioning if you just don’t get it. We’ll explore how our very real longing for meaning can sometimes make us the most willing participants in our own confusion — and how to find our way back to ourselves without throwing the whole spiritual baby out with the bathwater.
Reclaiming your own truth
The goal here isn’t cynicism. It’s clarity. We’ll work with grounded, embodied practices to help you reconnect with your own knowing — the kind that lives in your body, not just your beliefs. For some people, that means stepping away from a path that they have outgrown. For others, it means going deeper into a tradition they’d started to abandon — this time on solid ground, with eyes open and their own authority intact.
Honest. Human. Deep. Healing. And yes — irreverent. Because sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is call it what it is.

SEDONA, AZ
Join Caroline for five transformative nights in the heart of Sedona, Arizona.
Sedona is one of the most energetically alive places on earth — and this retreat was designed to help you meet that energy fully. Nestled among ancient red rock formations and sacred vortex sites, you’ll have five unhurried nights and four full days to slow down, turn inward, and come home to yourself. This retreat has served as a total reset for many women, with participants returning year after year to fill their spiritual and energetic cups back up.
This year’s theme is PSYCHIC CAPACITY. We’ll be diving deep into all five clair senses, and helping you recognize the ways you personally tune into spirit, guidance, and energy but within the realm of a grounded psychological and physical reality:
Clairaudience — the “clear hearing.” For some of you this shows up as an inner voice, a phrase that drops in out of nowhere, or even sounds and tones that carry meaning. We’ll explore how to tell the difference between your own mental chatter and the messages actually meant for you.
Clairsentience — the “clear feeling.” This is the empath’s gift: sensing emotions, energy, and truth in your body before your mind catches up. Gut feelings, chills, a room that just feels “off.” We’ll work on trusting that data instead of second-guessing it and learning also how to not be overwhelmed by what you feel.
Clairvoyance — the “clear seeing.” Images, symbols, colors, or flashes that appear in meditation, dreams, or even daydreams or when channeling. We’ll practice recognizing your own symbolic language so those images stop feeling random and start feeling like information.
Claircognizance — the “clear knowing.” Just knowing something without any evidence for how you know it. This is often the most doubted sense because there’s no sensory experience attached — just certainty. We’ll work on honoring that knowing instead of talking yourself out of it.
Clairolfaction — the “clear smelling.” The subtlest and most overlooked of the senses — catching a scent with no physical source, often tied to a person, place, or message. We’ll explore how this one shows up as a quiet form of confirmation.
It’s about becoming aware of how your 6th sense is functioning all the time, even when you don’t realize it — and helping you get out of your own way so you stop questioning it. We’ll also cover how to protect your energy and your psychic centers, so you’re not picking up unwanted energy along the way.
What’s included:
WHAT WE’LL EXPLORE TOGETHER
Vortex Energy
Step into Sedona’s potent energetic landscape and let the land do what it does best. We’ll visit sacred vortex sites, quiet shaded hikes and work intentionally with the energy of this extraordinary place.
Gentle Yoga & Breathwork
Nourishing, accessible movement to open the body, release what’s been held, and create space for something new to arrive.
Mantra & Wazifa Sound Practice
Sacred sound as medicine from the Yogi and Sufi traditions. We’ll use mantra and wazifa to awaken, align, and drop beneath the noise of everyday life into something much quieter — and much more alive.
Sacred Sisterhood & Deep Communion
There is something irreplaceable about being witnessed and held by other women. This container is intentionally intimate, creating space for authentic connection and the kind of conversations you don’t get to have everywhere.
Rest & Renewal
Unstructured time is woven throughout — to walk, journal, sit by the red rocks, nap, integrate,
Experience an energy healing, explore a crystal shop, or simply be.
Caroline has been leading retreats since 2008 — and this is her most favorite retreat she offers. You’ll be in the care of a master facilitator who is as soulful as she is down to earth, as reverent as she is irreverent, and whose humility creates a container where every woman feels safe to show up exactly as she is.
This is an invitation to go deeper — held every step of the way.

BIG ISLAND, HAWAI’I
Art of Facilitation is a weekend immersion for people who work with groups — therapists, yoga teachers, business owners, retreat leaders, coaches, healers, creatives, and community leaders — who want to move beyond simply hosting experiences and into the deeper, more skillful art of true facilitation.
Many people can organize an event. Far fewer know how to read a room, regulate group energy, establish emotional safety, work with challenging dynamics as they arise, and guide people through real transformation without causing harm. This immersion is for those who sense that facilitation is not about charisma or performance or even a beautiful face, but about presence, discernment, personal discipline, and embodied leadership.
Caroline “Carrie” Culverhouse draws from over a decade of intensive clinical training, trauma-informed group psychotherapy, spiritual teaching, and more than 200 retreats led around the country. Her approach bridges psychology and spirituality in a way that is practical, grounded, and immediately usable — without bypassing, guru posturing, or performative “holding space.”
This is not a certification mill, formulaic framework, or performative leadership training.
It is an experiential, relational immersion designed to sharpen your facilitation instincts, deepen your nervous system literacy, and help you lead groups with clarity and integrity.
Over the course of the weekend, participants will learn:
The difference between hosting, teaching, leading, and facilitating — and when each role is actually needed
How to establish psychological and nervous system safety in groups without over-controlling or over-sharing
Reading group dynamics in real time: power, projection, resistance, collapse, and dependency
How trauma, attachment styles, and unspoken group roles shape what unfolds in a room
The facilitator’s inner landscape: countertransference, ego, savior patterns, and “spiritual performance”
When to intervene, when to pause, and when to let something unfold organically
How to hold intensity, emotion, and conflict without re-traumatizing participants or yourself
Ethical facilitation: boundaries, responsibility, and knowing what is not yours to carry
This weekend blends teaching, experiential practice, live demonstration, group reflection, and supervised inquiry, allowing participants to feel the material in their bodies — not just understand it intellectually.
Participants leave with:
Greater confidence and clarity in their facilitation style and capacity
A deeper understanding of group dynamics and how to create psychological safety
A toolbox of practices to increase group participation and group satisfaction
A more grounded, embodied relationship to leadership itself by connection with one’s personal spiritual path
This is Phase 2 work — for those who know that true, grounded facilitation changes lives.
This immersion is ideal for people who:
Already lead groups or retreats and want to refine their craft
Feel called to lead, but want to do so responsibly and skillfully
Have outgrown surface-level facilitation or “one-size-fits-all” methods
Want to create spaces that are both spiritually meaningful and psychologically sound
Yummy snacks and beverages are provided throughout the weekend.
Participants are asked to please pack their own lunch, allowing for personal dietary needs and preferences.
