Imagine a weekend where your only responsibility is to focus on yourself, your heart’s deepest desires, and spiritual growth. The newly opened Hidden Lake Retreat located in Eagle Creek, Oregon, offers just that at their Women’s Visioning Retreat. Led by Hidden Lake co-owners – shamanic, sound, and reiki healer, Dr. Lauri Shainsky and counselor Judith Crop – this is an opportunity to explore how to move forward into the true vision of your life by connecting to yourself and the other women present through their teachings, support, and guidance. Upon arrival, explore the secluded seven-acre property sitting amongst towering Red Cedars on the lake it is named for. Attune to the nurturing environment and allow yourself to decompress. Home-base and epicenter of the lodge is a warm, inviting space with endless views and where daily intention ceremonies, discussions, visioning, and sound healings take place. In the corner of the room, you’ll find a ceremonial purge bowl – a place to write down any thought or feeling that is holding you back from your most authentic self. The highlight of the retreat is a day of healing that connects and brings forward all aspects of the visioning experience. Your journey concludes with a Lakota-inspired sweat lodge – a key element for most Hidden Lake retreats and a truly transforming experience – that may leave you surprisingly invigorated. Afterward, soothe your body with a detoxifying salt bath and massage. Talk about a shift in consciousness. Hidden Lake Retreat is available for private or personalized healing sessions, offers 3-day group retreats, sound healing sessions, shamanic sound intensives, and customized group workshops.
