Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly happens at an Emotional Healing Retreat?
Each retreat is a safe and sacred container designed for deep inner work. Through guided processes such as meditation, hypnotherapy , HeartMath®, breathwork, reparenting, shadow work and compassionate dialogue, you’ll gently uncover old patterns and emotional wounds while learning powerful tools for self-regulation and transformation. The days are structured but spacious, allowing time for rest, reflection, and integration in nature.
2. Do I need to have prior experience with healing work, therapy, or meditation?
Not at all. People come with all levels of experience — from those just beginning their healing journey to seasoned seekers. You’ll be guided step-by-step through each practice in a supportive environment that meets you where you are. The only requirement is an open heart and willingness to grow.
3. What types of issues or life transitions do people come to heal?
Guests often attend to process relationship challenges, burnout, anxiety, childhood trauma, or simply to reconnect with themselves at a soul level. Some are at crossroads in their careers or marriages; others sense it’s simply *time* to heal old wounds and reclaim joy. Whatever brings you here is honored as sacred material for transformation.
4. How is this different from traditional therapy or a spa retreat?
Unlike talk therapy, an Emotional Healing Retreat combines psychological education and understanding with spiritual and somatic practices that engage body, mind, and soul. And unlike a spa getaway, it’s not about escaping life — it’s about meeting yourself more deeply so you can return home aligned, grounded, and free.
5. What should I expect emotionally — will it be intense?
Healing can bring up emotion, but the process is paced with compassion and skill. You’ll never be pushed beyond what feels safe for you. Tears, laughter, stillness, and insight often weave together in the most beautiful way. By the end, most participants describe feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply at peace.
6. What’s included and how do I prepare?
Retreats include comfortable accommodations, nourishing meals, daily practices, and personalized guidance from Jana and Dr. Lance Wilson. Before arrival, you’ll complete a short questionnaire and a pre-retreat call ensures your intentions are clear. You’ll receive preparation reading and practices to begin centering before your journey begins.
