Join us on a 7-day retreat for a joy-filled initiation into your next level of healing, purpose, and service.

Do you want to activate a profound Shift in the baseline of your life? Have you been hungry to reach the next level of your healing and service?

Journey with beloved Shift faculty through a powerful immersion through sacred ceremony, healing, music, movement, higher guidance, and intimate coaching, all designed to help you release what’s weighing you down, reconnect with your body and soul, and align more deeply with the sacred work that is yours to bring into the world.

The Shift Retreat offers you a chance for a full body, mind, and soul reset, in which you can shed the past and open into an inspiring vision of your future. At the deepest level, it will offer an initiation into a more awakened, embodied expression of who you’re here to be.

Over seven transformative days in the beauty of Nevada City, you’ll awaken your gifts, deepen your connection to your Self, and step into a more aligned version of your life and soul purpose.

During the journey, you’ll receive six 10-minute sessions of personal laser coaching on your mission, dreams, and life work with Shift founder and CEO Stephen Dinan, participate in powerful workshops with beloved Shift faculty, and experience sacred rituals, sound healings, movement practices, and optional cacao and bobinsana ceremonies with music.

An Initiatory Journey of Healing and Transformation

Have you yearned for a reattunement of your body, mind, and soul to let go of the intense energies and anxieties moving through our culture?

The Shift Retreat has been designed as an immersive 7-day experience to open your heart, attune with your soul, and align your body, emotions, heart, and mind with your highest expression.

You’ll have the opportunity to step out of the density of the world for a time and immerse yourself in beauty, connection, healing, and sacred purpose.

If you’re a fan of Shift Network programs, there is no other gathering in 2027 that will bring together so many beloved Shift faculty in person.

With space intentionally limited, we’re prioritizing dedicated, long-term members of the Shift community like you who are ready to go deeper in their journey of growth, transformation, and service.

Prepare to be blessed, empowered, and activated into your greatest good as you savor the beauty, depth, and magic of Nevada City in the springtime foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

The Journey (May 10-16, 2027)

We begin on May 10, the day after Mother’s Day, symbolizing the rebirth of your Self and our world.

Day 1

Monday, May 10: A Ceremony of Remembrance

The Shift Retreat begins at 6:00pm with a ceremony of remembrance that welcomes your highest Self into the Circle. Led by Isis Indriya, master ceremonialist and leader of Shift’s Egypt work, and Elayne Kalila Doughty, founder of Priestess Presence and mentor to thousands of priestesses, this opening ceremony will be filled with beauty, magic, and feminine blessings — a homecoming to your body and soul.

Day 2

Tuesday, May 11: Higher Guidance, the Golden Child & Sound Healing

We begin with QiTanYo, a sacred movement practice led by Tutku Tezveren, founder of the Temple of Integration, that weaves together Daoist Qigong, Classical Tantra Yoga, movement, breath, sound, and meditative stillness. Then, Shift Network founder Stephen Dinan will guide you through a process of contacting higher guidance around the sacred work that is yours alone to create. You’ll also begin the first round of laser coaching sessions, as Stephen works with six to eight Circle participants per day to refine, hone, and amplify their sacred work.

After lunch, we’ll spend three hours with Grandmother Flordemayo, a founding member of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, and her daughter, Heather Dudney-Hall. Together, they’ll explore the vision of the Golden Child and the path toward a harmonious rebirth of humanity — and how you can draw inspiration, sustenance, and magic from this vision for your own role in creating a better world.

In the evening, you’ll be immersed in a profound sound-healing collaboration with Lindsey and Josh Wise and Christine Stevens, enveloping you in healing frequencies and beautiful music, with the option to participate in cacao and bobinsana ceremonies featuring these healing plant sacraments.

Day 3

Wednesday, May 12: Music, Release & Devotional Prayer

We begin with movement and music with Christine Stevens, deepening your relationship with the power of music to uplift, open, and heal. You’ll then continue with the second round of laser coaching on your sacred mission with Stephen Dinan, further honing, refining, and elevating your offerings.

In the afternoon, Shift Network co-founder Devaa Haley Mitchell will guide you through a special extended healing ceremony to help you release grief, old stories, and experiences that have been weighing you down. This powerful process is designed to be cathartic, healing, and freeing.

In the evening, Christine Stevens will lead a participatory music circle, inviting you into ecstatic, devotional prayer through the healing and connective power of music.

Day 4

Thursday, May 13: Consecrate Your Life to Sacred Service

We begin the morning with sacred movement practices and yoga with Lindsey Wise, lovingly opening and awakening your body. You’ll then continue with the third round of laser coaching on your sacred mission with Stephen Dinan.

In the afternoon, ceremonial priestess Elayne Kalila Doughty will guide you through a ceremony to consecrate your life to your sacred service. Elayne Kalila is deeply devoted to Mary Magdalene and the Sacred Feminine, whose spirit and wisdom will infuse this ceremonial experience.

In the evening, Reya Manna will lead a devotional singing journey in nature at the local Yuba River, known as a place of spiritual pilgrimage. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the area, you’ll connect more deeply with nature’s intelligence and open your heart and soul through the power of your own voice.

Day 5

Friday, May 14: Open the Oracle Within

We begin with a sacred movement and voice practice with Lindsey Wise, who has dedicated herself to liberating the Soul Song within every person. You’ll then continue with the fourth round of laser coaching on your sacred mission with Stephen Dinan.

In the afternoon, Isis Indriya, founder of The Academy of Oracle Arts, will guide you through a special Open the Oracle Within session. You’ll begin with a group reading using her Egyptian oracular system, channeled by her guide team, before moving into spontaneous readings within the Circle and teachings on core oracular skills you can begin developing for yourself.

In the evening, Shift team members Josh Wise and Brad Korpalski will create a musical journey for ecstatic dance and song, following a second optional ceremonial activation with cacao and bobinsana led by Lindsey Wise.

Day 6

Saturday, May 15: Creative Expression & an Empowerment Anthem

We begin with more sacred movement and voice practice with Lindsey Wise, who has dedicated herself to liberating the Soul Song within every person. You’ll then continue with the fifth round of laser coaching on the sacred mission of group members with Stephen Dinan.

In the afternoon, we’ll turn our attention to the creative expression of the group. As you connect with your soul in deeper ways throughout the week, you’ll be invited to step forward with heartfelt songs, poetry, humor, stories, and other authentic offerings. This is an invitation to take a creative risk, let yourself be seen, and shine as your most authentic self — and we expect it to be one of the highlights of the retreat.

In the evening, we’ll be blessed by the musical magic of the Brothers Koren, who will lead the group through a collective songwriting process, creating a song together that you can cherish as an empowerment anthem for years to come. Their fun, dynamic, uplifting style will invite everyone to claim their voice and creative power.

Day 7

Sunday, May 16: Ritual Activation & Closing Heart Circle

We begin our final day with movement practices led by Lindsey Wise, followed by the final round of laser coaching on your sacred mission with Stephen Dinan, culminating in a ritual activation to empower your manifestation.

We’ll then gather for an extended closing heart circle. After a week of opening, healing, creating, and more deeply embodying your soul, you’ll have the opportunity to share the fruits of your journey, honor what has shifted, and strengthen the connections that can support your next chapter.

We’ll conclude at 1:00pm, allowing time for lunch and your journey home.

Please plan to stay with us through the closing circle so you can experience the full depth of the retreat all the way through to its completion.

Why This Journey Is Different

This retreat brings together some of our most popular Shift Network faculty in an unusually intimate setting, creating an experience that goes far beyond attending workshops or receiving teachings.

Throughout the week, you’ll be invited to participate — through your body, your voice, your heart, your creativity, and your own sacred work.

Alongside transformational sessions with renowned teachers, Shift Network founder Stephen Dinan will personally work with participants throughout the retreat, offering laser coaching to help you contact higher guidance around the work that is uniquely yours and refine, strengthen, and amplify the contribution you’re here to make.

This retreat is an initiation into a more embodied and purposeful way of living — supported through sacred movement, healing ceremony, music, nature, higher guidance, creative expression, and meaningful connection with others walking their own path of transformation.

Over the course of the journey, you’ll experience:

  • Sacred movement and embodied practices that can open and attune your body
  • Ceremonies designed to help you release grief, old stories, and what’s weighing you down
  • Sound healing, devotional music, singing, and ecstatic dance to open your heart and awaken your creative expression

  • Oracular practices and higher guidance to deepen your relationship with your own inner knowing
  • Intimate community and shared creative expression that invite you to be seen, heard, and celebrated as your authentic self
  • And much more…

Who Is This Retreat For?

This retreat is for dedicated seekers who are ready to deepen their healing, reconnect with their highest Self, and bring their gifts and sacred work more fully into the world.

You don’t need to arrive with your purpose perfectly defined or know exactly what your next chapter looks like. What matters is a willingness to engage wholeheartedly in the practices, ceremonies, creative experiences, and intimate community that will unfold throughout the week.

This retreat is especially for you if:

  • You feel called to the next level of your healing, growth, and service
  • You’re ready to step away from the noise and intensity of everyday life and reconnect with your body, heart, and soul
  • You sense that old stories, grief, or patterns are weighing you down and are ready to release what no longer serves you
  • You’re seeking deeper guidance around your life’s purpose, sacred work, or contribution
  • You want to strengthen your connection with your highest Self and inner guidance
  • You’re drawn to the healing and transformational power of music, movement, ceremony, voice, and creative expression
  • You’re ready to claim more of your authentic voice, gifts, and creative power
  • You’ve reached a plateau in your growth and feel ready for a deeper, more immersive transformational experience
  • You long to experience meaningful connection within an intimate, like-hearted community
  • You’re ready not only to transform inwardly, but to bring that transformation into how you live, create, and serve

This retreat is for those who are prepared to enter with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to participate fully — to be stretched, supported, inspired, and invited into deeper relationship with themselves and the sacred work that is theirs to bring forward.
