08 - Retreat Reflections: The Sacred Spirit Retreat

The Real Deal with Jen Costa

I just came back from attending the Sacred Spirit Retreat in Canada hosted by Danielle Searancke, also known as the Squamish Medium. I was talking to someone who asked me how it was and I found it hard to explain in words. Realizing that retreats or sacred travel can be a unique experience for everyone I thought I would give you a glimpse into what it was like for me.

I’ll be covering a range of topics including my experiences and breakthrough with clairsentience, dealing with social anxiety in large groups, feeling energy in large groups, meeting familiar people who feel like a soul family, and integrating back into everyday life after a retreat.

In particular, I’ll be discussing the emotional rollercoaster that comes with processing such an experience called integration. From feeling confused and shedding tears, to being super chill or having twitchy eyelids, it was all part of my journey. Post retreat I felt it hard to be present in the real world, and have been super distracted at work. I’ve also realized that I should not make a big decisions.

It's normal to need time to process everything and as time went on I had more realizations about my experience, specifically about being seen.

I joke and say this retreat broke me but it was one of the more profound experiences on my healing journey. And I can’t wait to do it again.
