Rai Jordan
A sacred and soulful invitation to rest, recharge, and vision awhile…

Greetings, Visionistas!

Are you ready for a reset?

Are you longing for sacred time to retreat from the fullness of life and attune to the divine inner knowing of your own soul?

To "consciously court the Divine!" To pause… be still… breathe… and listen…

Come revitalize your vision or re-imagine what life can be.

Awaken possibilities not yet considered, visions previously dismissed, deferred or denied. Open the way for grace-filled divine flow and inspired action too.

For 27 years, visioning has been my pathway for clarity and expansion—not from doing, but from becoming. And I've witnessed its transformative power in countless lives.

It can be the same for you.

We're gathering to welcome in the new year with renewed vision and divinely inspired direction... and you're invited!

See you soon...

Rai's Signature

Erin Fry

“We need sacred, safe spaces like this right now with all that is happening in our world.”

I return to this retreat with Rai again and again for soulful respite, spiritual nourishment and to stay connected to my vision. She is an extremely skilled facilitator who creates space for growth and transformation for each person, regardless of background.

Rai knows how to lovingly support each person in their spiritual journey to live the life they are meant to live.

Joy Lynn Douglas

“Thanks to Rai’s guidance and support, I can quiet my mind and access divine wisdom with ease.”

I’m deeply grateful for the visioning retreats and circles. Visioning in this space consistently brings forward insights I don’t access on my own or through other spiritual practices.

These sessions have supported me in trusting my inner wisdom and listening more deeply to what is being revealed.

Rev Rodney Gittens

“I am now retired and living the life I glimpsed in visioning.”

Through visioning with Rai, I was able to envision what my retirement would look like and grasp the feeling of this life transition. Nine months of visioning helped me alleviate the trepidation around making such a life-altering decision.

Rai's innovative style honors the tried and true visioning methods while bringing her own unique facilitation and leadership.

“Visioning with Rai is a game changer!”

It started at a visioning retreat where I reclaimed a vision that was revealed over 30 years ago. The timing could not have been more perfect. I was in a major life transition after a 40+ year career, and these visioning retreats and circles are the respite that keep me calm, centered and anchored in the vision.

I am now retired, or as I like to say, 'refired' — and the vision continues to unfold. Thank you, Rai, for creating this community and for your amazing support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Visioning?

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.

How can visioning help me?

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.

Can I really experience the depth and benefits of visioning in a virtual retreat?

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

Through years of facilitation, I've witnessed again and again how visioning transcends physical location—creating profound transformation and connection, no matter where you are.

As soon as you register, you'll receive a welcome packet with everything you need to fully engage. We meet on Zoom, but the real meeting place is within.

How do I determine my tax-deductible donation?

There's no set amount—give in the way that feels right for you. Here's what has guided others:

  • What works for my budget. Every gift, no matter the size, is received with gratitude.
  • What I'm inspired to give in gratitude for what I receive. Gifts shared from gratitude bless both the giver and receiver.
  • The number of sessions I plan to attend. Suggested donation: $25–$50 per session.
  • Paying it forward. Your support helps keep these retreats accessible to all.

All donations are 100% tax-deductible. We are recognized as a 501(c)(3) through our affiliation with Centers for Spiritual Living.

Can I contribute more after my initial donation?

Yes. If you are inspired to donate more—whether in gratitude for what you've received or to help ensure others have access to this transformative work.

All of our retreats are offered on a donation basis, and your tax-deductible donations cover the costs of making these gatherings possible.

Your support not only allows us to continue offering them, but it can also help us improve our website, upgrade essential equipment.

“This visioning space was the answer I'd been searching for.”

Visioning deepened my connection with God, the insights and guidance becoming clearer and clearer with each session. These experiences have been truly life-changing.

Visioning now complements my other spiritual practices beautifully—and I carry a warm, persistent inner smile because of it.

“Expect to discover more about the divine design of your life.”

Rai is my first formal visioning teacher. I’ve been visioning with her for over 15 years, and I know her to be an embodiment of visioning.

I believe you will find this visioning retreat to be informative, transformative, and inspiring.

“Rai’s visioning retreats always jump-start some aspect of my life.”

In 2014, frustrated that my gifts and talents were only partly being used, I surrendered deeply and got the message to pick up and move.
Within 5 months I was in my new home and the blessings still keep pouring in; joyful music, spiritual service, and work projects I love, using all of my abilities.
