Anthology of Light
☀️☀️☀️
A Retreat for Intuition, Healing & Inner Wisdom
✨Customize Your Experience✨
Step away from the noise of daily life and into the quiet embrace of nature. Anthology of Light is a transformative retreat designed to help you reconnect with your intuition, heal deeply, and awaken your true self. Nestled in the peaceful woods of Galena, IL, and unfolding under the “cosmic energy” of a partial solar eclipse, and the powerful transit of Neptune moving into Aries for the first time since 1861. This retreat will offer you the space to slow down, listen deeply, access your innate wisdom as you realign with your inner compass in preparation for the changes that are occurring globally.
Through channeling, intuitive guidance, meditation, sound healing, Light Language healings, crystal energy work, gentle yoga, shamanic journeying and chanting, you’ll deepen your intuitive gifts, release what no longer serves you, and step into a place of clarity and self-empowerment. Channeled Guidance from the Guides, Masters & Angels will be threaded throughout the retreat. For grounding and integration, we will spend time in nature, and have an opportunity to visit historic downtown Galena.
This retreat is an invitation to embody your highest self, embrace your soul’s journey, and write the next chapter of your life infusing it with happiness, intention and infinite possibilities.
Whether you join for one day or any part of the retreat, you will receive exactly what you need. You will leave feeling illuminated and transformed so you can bring the light to all.
Intuitive Life Coach Lisa Gniady will be your guide for these Soul-Awakening Experiences. The retreat offers you different pathways to growth and works synergistically to set in motion a new way of looking at yourself and life.
“My retreats are always guided by Spirit, I follow the theme, but what we do may change.” Lisa Gniady
