Embrace Your Light

A Day of Release and Rediscovery

October 8th, 2022

Coal Creek Canyon, Colorado

Immerse Yourself…

As autumn encroaches, and the light dims as winter approaches, we look to the light within. It’s time to embrace your own light, to find gratitude in what you have gained from your inner harvest, release the energies that no longer serve you, and rediscover the love for yourself.

Join us for an immersive experience and retreat to Embrace Your Light on Saturday, October 8th, 2022.

A soft check in begins at 8:00 AM. We’ll begin our empowering journey together with a morning gratitude meditation by the fire, complete with all inclusive nourishing meals/snacks, engaging deep down with nature, dynamic mindful workshops, a captivating sound bath, plenty of time to reflect and mingle, and a fireside drum circle accompanied by a full moon release ceremony and delicious Wassail (homemade mulled non-alcoholic apple cider) to warm your soul.

We are so excited to explore, support, and engage with each one of you. Holding sacred space for 15 adult participants to allow for an intimate and powerful experience. Early bird registration opens now with a waitlist opportunity. A rustic experience on forested private property near beautiful Golden Gate Canyon State Park, in Coal Creek Canyon, Golden, Colorado with use of private modern facilities, including workshop space, included.

Immerse yourself and relax as you are gently cared for and empowered. Listen to the wind in the pines and watch the yellow and orange aspen leaves drift to the ground. Nourish yourself with time to reflect in a hammock or journal by the fire. As the sun begins to set feel the ambience of fairy lights and the warmth of the fire circle as you gather with other like-hearted souls rediscovering your love for yourself. Leave with new perspectives and tools to continue to embrace your light in your daily life.

Small groups of 2-3 are encouraged to join this experience together. We will see you soon!

Hosted by Kristy Riveland with Soul Water Studio, Jamie Everton with Sacred Symmetry and Melissa DeRenzo with Blossoming Lotus Sound.

New Tools & Perspectives


  • A morning meditation of Gratitude with Jamie. Meditation can feel daunting to some. Where to start? What to listen to? How to turn off your mind? Am I doing it right? In this guided meditation, Jamie will gently lead you into a place of tranquility and help ease you into your own beautiful process. Let her help you find the stillness you are eager to discover.

  • The Sacred Rebel Workshop: An Archetype for your Authentic Self with Kristy. There is a sacred rebel within each of us that yearns to live life on her terms.  She is excited by the possibilities that lie ahead.  She gently nudges us into action and asks us to break the rules from a place of love and inner wisdom.  In this workshop we choose to embrace our inner sacred rebel and dive deep into our beliefs to determine if they are in alignment with our own inner truths.  Kristy will lead you into a deeper understanding of what are truly your aligned beliefs, values, and actions, and what you may have subconsciously accepted as part of your family and society to “fit in” and be accepted.  She will offer you the awareness of where you may not be living in alignment with your higher wisdom and desires and offer you the choice to do life differently.  This awareness alone is often enough to allow profound changes to happen.

  • Breathwork and Stress Management Workshop with Jamie. Stress is all around us every day and in every way. Our bodies are programmed to approach stress in either a flight or fight response. When we are unable to release that directed energy, it builds up in our bodies and becomes stuck thus resulting in many illnesses and diseases. Jamie will help you identify triggers and recognize when your body is under stress, and will also help you discover empowering ways to release your stress through breath, tapping, and visualization.

  • Immersive Sound Bath with Melissa. It can be said that illness is a manifestation of disharmony within the body—an imbalance in the cells or a given organ. Since matter is energy vibrating at different rates, by altering the rate of vibration we can change the structure of matter. Sound from Himalayan Singing Bowls entrains the brain to move into the theta brain wave frequencies. These frequencies can provide clarity of mind, stimulate the intuition, and induce deeply meditative and peaceful states. The sound vibrations impact our nervous system by engaging our relaxation reflex and inhibiting the stress or pain response.

  • 5D Alignment Manifesting Workshop with Kristy. The fifth dimension is not a place we are going to, but a vibration we are becoming all while in our physical bodies.  5D is a creation zone and recognizing that you are choosing to create can help put you in the fifth dimension.  Kristy will help you see the differences between 3D and 5D emotions and thoughts, show you ways to transmute 3D emotions and thoughts, and even clear physical pain in your body.  She will guide you to experience aspects of embodying 5D and open up your energy fields to receiving more of what you desire with ease.

  • Full moon release ceremony and drum circle with Jamie, Kristy. and Melissa. The full moon has long been recognized in many cultures throughout the world as a symbol of an end to a cycle. The moon's kinetic and gravitational energy can be felt and influence not only the behavior of the ocean but also the behavior in animals and humans. During this powerful influx of energy, many believe that spiritual connection can be heightened. We invite you during this time, to connect with yourself from deep within and reflect on your past month. Are there circumstances or relationships that you would like to just let go of? Are there emotions you would like to release? During our campfire gathering, we invite you to write down any of these blockages and literally and symbolically release them into the fire. Breathe deep because a new cycle and a new beginning is underway.

  • All inclusive, nourishing, home cooked meals - breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks.

What People Are Saying

“I don't have enough words to describe my amazing experience with Jamie. The space is peaceful and beautiful, the thoughtfulness that went into everything about my session-the music/frequency she played, the stones used, the comforts offered, the in-depth reading she got from me...all enhanced and opened my mind and grounded my body. I walked away feeling so relaxed, like I had a three hour day at the spa. Seriously! I highly recommend a session with Jamie. I'm already looking forward to my next one!”

— C.W.

“It’s difficult to put into words how profoundly amazing Kristy is at what she does. We began the session and I had ideas of what I wanted to talk about to get more clarity. Before I knew it, I was talking about something much deeper that helped in healing so many other areas of my life. Kristy is truly gifted!”

— S.C.

“A session with Kristy feels like a breath of fresh air for your body and soul, and even just one session brings about changes to thought patterns you’ve been stuck in for years.”

— M.W.

“Prior to my private sound healing with Melissa I was having back pain and considering going to a chiropractor. About 2/3rds into the sound bath, I felt a strong stream of energy enter my body from my crown chakra to my root chakra. It cleared whatever was going on inside my spine. The discomfort disappeared and didn't come back. It was a wonderful experience!

— M.C.

“I had a session with Jamie and wow! It was insightful and healing for my mind. She is honestly very special in the healing ways and it was amazing being a not believer type person and what she was able to see and help with in my life.”

— A.K.

“Melissa’s approach is personalized, peaceful and relaxing. I’ve been appreciating this type of therapy for over a year, and I’m thankful she’s able to provide a respite from “the noise” each month.”

— E.M.
