SOJOURN
A bespoke solo retreat in The Land of Flowing Water
"Luminous" vs "Dark" Singing
An Initiation Space
Sojourn is a private pilgrimage for those who need a deeper approach to healing or life reorientation. Three weeks of remote preparation, three curated days in the Eastern Sierra, and three weeks of remote integration.
This is not a VIP luxury vacation (though, we treat you well!). This is a down-in-the-dirt, return to the raw materials of the soul kind of experience that respects your intelligence and depth. The sojourn culminates in a private, channeled, world class deep healing cello & vocal immersion - we send you off with a mastered recording that you keep forever.
For anyone working with trauma, end of life, or grief, we want to be sure you are fully safe and supported, and ask that you be seeing a therapist alongside this experience.

FAQ
How does this journey unfold?
You travel to the Eastern Sierra - Payahüünadü - The Land of Flowing Water - and arrive at your private lodging location. That evening Sara will meet you for a walk and connect, followed by tea at the altar created for you in your space, and a brief somatic practice and energy session.
Shaun will then join and you will immerse in a private cello activation with vocals. This will be just a taste of the final day when you receive your full immersion.
The next day you will experience a full energy healing session with Sara, and then have time to decompress and integrate. In the evening you will join Sara in the Volcanic Tablelands to commune with the land - this may involve a steep hike, or you can choose a less physical variation. Here we will invite deeper insight and reflection to arise with guidance from the land.
On your third day, we recommend places for solo excursion, massage, and/or hot spring. In the evening, we meet for your full cello & vocals immersion, a one hour meditative session to powerfully move energy within you to support what's next. You may choose to stay more days after that to integrate with the land, and we do recommend this.
What can I expect during the energy session?
The session begins with a conversation to understand your current state, needs, and intentions. Before the session we may incorporate somatics and breathwork to help prepare you for receptivity.
You remain completely clothed and lie on a massage table. You will be offered an eye pillow with a clean covering, and music will help to facilitate presence.
We begin with ceremonial sound. During the session Sara will work with your energy field, which will be mostly hands-off with moments of hand-on practice with your consent. Sara will provide prompts and guided visualization for you depending on your unique goals and what I experience through the energy work.
People have different responses, and these can change from one session to the next. Deep relaxation, insights, emotional release, and a powerful sense of expansion, groundedness, and spiritual connection are common experiences. The session is not guided by formula but involves Sara's dynamic response to what unfolds in real time.
Should you have a strong emotional release, somatic techniques are provided to help you move the energy through without becoming overwhelmed.
Time is included at the end for you to absorb and integrate your experience, though integration can take place for weeks, months, or years after.
Is it very serious?
It is very meaningful - and there will be a range of emotions within it. No, it will not be grave and stoic - we'll be laughing a lot, and then there will absolutely be sacred and arresting moments. We trust the journey to unfold for you as it is meant to.
How does the Narrative Design aspect work?
Sara works with you to untangle the story you find yourself in, and together you will explore whether this story is supportive of the transformation you seek. This involves light writing.
Are Psychedelics involved?
No psychedliecs are involved in this solo retreat, but the magnitude is comparable. The purpose of the Sojourn is to open your inner pathways naturally, through the power of devoted care, the land, and sound.
Can I do this retreat with my significant other, friend, or child?
At this time, this retreat is designed for a solo adult. We are open to discussing your thoughts and can go from there.
