Psychology of Awakening:

 

Healing &
Embodiment
Retreat 

 

October 10-13th | Sedona, AZ

Join Transpersonal Psychologist Payton Tontz, Ph.D. for this 3 day deep dive in the beauty and magic of Sedona!  Limited to 12 participants.

The Retreat

This retreat presents a special opportunity for those who have already taken the "Psychology of Awakening" course to enter into a sacred container for 3 full days in a small group to deepen into new dimensions of the "Psychology of Awakening" teachings and practices. We will engage in lived experiences that facilitate deeper healing and embodiment of the awakening process.

The process of awakening, healing, and transformation is a journey that continues throughout our lives and can be lonely at times when we are doing the rubber meets the road work in our day to day lives. Coming together in a sacred container within the community of a group provides an essential dimension of shared experiences and human connection that can facilitate a deep layer of healing, as many of us are lacking this kind of healthy aligned community in our lives especially in these times of such profound change. I invite you to join me for this retreat experience that will be deeply transformative, enriching, and lots of fun! All the details are here on this page below.

Day 3
Cielo Connection

The last day we will be in the heart of West Sedona at Cielo Connection. We will eat lunch out at Chocolatree (https://chocolatree.com)  West Sedona for this last day followed by a very special offering of an "Intuitive Heart Painting"  workshop facilitated by Kate Rorrer, visionary artist and owner of Cielo Connection. 

Facilitated Group Meetings / Retreat Rhythm Flow

This retreat has been designed to create an optimal balance of formal facilitated group gatherings including ceremony, as well as plenty of spacious free time to rest, integrate, and enjoy all that the retreat space has to offer.  The basic schedule each day will include a morning session, an afternoon session, and an evening ceremonial gathering with delicious high vibe meals in between. 

 

Morning Sessions:

Facilitated by Payton Tontz, Ph.D.

Our morning sessions will consist of teaching transmissions expanding into new dimensions of the Psychology of Awakening curriculum, guided meditations/activations, group sharing/processing, experiential exercises, discussions, and Q & A. These teachings and activities will build on the basic curriculum presented in the course into new territories focusing on some of the more metaphysical components of the embodiment process.  We will engage in some discussion and activities related to opening/activating the heart and throat centers and allowing anything which may be ready to be healed and released in these energy centers to be brought to light and transmuted.  
 

Saturday and Sunday Afternoon Sessions:

Co-facilitated with Viola Rose (www.violarose.com)

My dear colleague Viola Rose, teacher, sound alchemist, and musician, will be facilitating a workshop on Saturday afternoon on the teachings of Drunvalo Melchizedek on "Awakening the Illuminated Heart", a system of teachings that emphasizes the metaphysical dimensions of how the heart is transformed and comes online as a result of the process of spiritual awakening. Sunday afternoon Viola will lead us in a vocal activation workshop followed by a sacred sound journey and guided heart activation transmission by me.  This is a practice that we have been doing together for almost two years and it is quite a unique synergy that we co-create together with the sacred soundscape created by Viola and guided heart activation/meditation journey with myself.  
 

Monday afternoon session:

Facilitated by Kate Rorrer (www.cieloconnection.com)

Monday afternoon at Cielo Connection Kate Rorrer, Visionary artist and owner, will lead an "Intuitive Heart Painting Workshop".  In this workshop Kate will guide us using her signature process she has cultivated, in which the painting process is  as a sacred portal to allow your own sacred creative nature to come through in a creative process of connecting with your inner divine nature and allowing it to paint through you.
