The energy of the season invites us to do what nature does in the fall: deepen our connection with our own divine nature, gather our inner resources, and harvest our inner becoming.
Like an acorn that already contains everything it needs to be a mighty oak, you have within you all that is required to be the uniquely glorious being you were born to be.
You don't have to chase after it or even seek it; it is inside you, waiting to be expressed.
Come harvest what's on the inside of you!
For 27 years, visioning has been my go-to pathway for higher vision, clarity, direction, and expansion through every major life transition and decision. Not from doing... from becoming and embracing our greater yet-to-be.
And I have witnessed its transformative power in the lives of countless others I've served, supported, and mentored. It can be the same for you.
New & Seasoned Visionistas Welcome!
Retreat Benefits
A sacred space has been prepared for you to:
🍂 Re-vitalize your vision:
Re-imagine possibilities with Dr Michael Beckwith's Life Visioning Process – including visions once dismissed, deferred, or seemingly denied – so that what once felt out of reach begins to feel divinely inevitable.
🍂 Release what no longer serves:
Let go of false beliefs, outdated labels, or identities – so that you're no longer dimming your light just to stay comfortable in spaces you've outgrown.
🍂 Align your being with doing:
Bring your actions into harmony with your higher knowing – so that you stop living from "shoulds" and "have-tos," and begin moving from soul-inspired flow.
🍂 Experience community as medicine:
Be witnessed, supported, and uplifted in the collective field of visioning – so that you remember you were never meant to do this sacred work alone.
🍂 Engage in Rai's newly expanded signature harvesting process:
Plant vision seeds, uproot limitation weeds, water new ways of being, and harvest fruit from your visioning – so that insight becomes embodiment, and clarity becomes movement.
Emerge soulfully nourished, spiritually aligned, with vision renewed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you call it God, Ori, Spirit, Higher Self, intuition, your muse or some other name. Whatever you call it, what matters most is that we "call" on it, that we ask "it" to reveal what it knows.
Dr. Michael Beckwith, the originator of the visioning process I use and teach, says, "visioning is a process in which we cultivate the ability to hear, see or sense a divine idea for our life."
My friend and mentor, Dr. Liza Rankow, calls it a "powerful and transformative tool for tapping into deeper levels of clarity, insight, and direction."
I've come to view visioning as a pathway for self-discovery, healing, transformation and liberation. This inspires my personal visioning practice as well as my passion for providing sacred space for individuals and groups to use and practice it too.

What I love most about visioning is how it awakens possibilities that hadn't been considered and reawakens visions, dreams, ideas and revelations previously dismissed, deferred or denied.
And I absolutely love how visioning attunes us to the divine inner knowing of our own soul, activates our inner becoming and opens the way for inspired action and divine flow.
Doors opening. Opportunities appearing. Resources showing up at the right time in previously unforeseen ways.
Next steps being revealed. Taking that step, confident or scared. Divinely guided every step of the way.
Visioning has been a guiding light in my life for 27 years. No other process or technique has been so powerful, so deeply transformative for me. It can be the same for you.

Absolutely. Virtual retreats have become a common and powerful way to gather in sacred space.
