The experience of a LIFETIME awaits you....

 

Is your inner light feeling dimmed by the demands of daily life?

Imagine stepping away from the noise and chaos, and entering a sacred space where you can truly remember who you are. If you’re yearning to reignite your spark, reconnect with your authentic self, and awaken the vibrant energy that lives within you, this is your invitation.

Join us for an exclusive 3-night Reiki and Aromatherapy Retreat—a soul-nourishing escape designed to help you rediscover your S.H.I.N.E. and embody the radiant woman you’re meant to be. Nestled in serene natural beauty, this retreat is your sanctuary for profound relaxation, deep rejuvenation, and true transformation.

Are you ready to come home to yourself? Read on and discover how your Time to Shine begins here.

It's Time to SHINE!


Experience the transformative synergy of Reiki, aromatherapy, guided healing meditations, and the restorative power of nature—all woven together at the Time to Shine Wellness Retreat. Here, you’ll discover true tranquility and awaken a brilliance within you that’s impossible to ignore. Immerse yourself in this unique blend of energy healing and botanical wisdom, embraced by the serene beauty of the natural world, and let your light shine brighter than ever before.

Prioritize your self-care, your growth, and your personal transformation—because the world truly needs your light.

This isn’t just a place to unwind (though you’ll find deep relaxation here, too). The Time to Shine Retreat is your invitation to step boldly into the woman you are meant to become. If you’re ready for lasting change, soul-deep renewal, and meaningful community, this is your moment.

Take a deep breath and say yes to a weekend designed just for you. Trust yourself—sometimes, the most powerful decisions are the ones you make before you have it all figured out. You’ll be grateful you did.

The reason I use an application process is because the Time to Shine Retreat is limited to just 15 women. It’s a small, intentionally curated group so that each person feels supported, seen, and safe to fully show up. The few short questions help me ensure the retreat is a good fit, and that participants have some interest in the themes we’ll be exploring—such as Reiki, sound healing, aromatherapy, spiritual growth, and energy alignment.

This isn’t like applying for a job—it’s more about protecting the experience we’re creating together and making sure you would truly benefit from it.

Andrea will review your responses to make sure this retreat is the perfect fit for you, and let you know if a spot is available.

Nature as Your Sanctuary

At the Time to Shine Retreat, you’ll experience the profound harmony between nature and your own inner well-being—a rare invitation to step away from the worries and stress of everyday life and prioritize what truly matters: your self-care and renewal.

Nestled in the tranquil beauty of Alnoba in southern New Hampshire, our retreat offers a peaceful escape from the demands of daily routines.

The Time to Shine Retreat is held at Alnoba, a place where the spirit of the land itself invites you to pause, breathe, and rediscover your inner light. Located in southern New Hampshire, Alnoba is more than a retreat center—it is a sanctuary rooted in the sacred history and wisdom of the Abenaki people.

The name “Alnoba” is an Abenaki term meaning “person” or “human transformation,” reflecting the center’s deeper purpose. Built on ancestral Abenaki land, Alnoba honors the indigenous belief that all of nature—trees, rivers, animals, and mountains—holds a living spirit. The Abenaki understood that the physical and spiritual worlds are intimately connected, requiring harmony, balance, and reverence for the earth.

As you explore the property, you’ll notice striking outdoor sculptures and works of indigenous art collected by Alnoba’s founders, Alan and Harriet Lewis. Their vision was to create a space where art, nature, and human transformation are woven together—a place where you can feel the presence of the land’s ancient guardians and the subtle, nurturing spirit of the woods.

Throughout your stay, you may sense the sacredness of this place. The tranquil forests, winding trails, and serene gathering spaces are designed not just for relaxation, but for deep renewal and spiritual awakening. This is a rare opportunity to step away from everyday worries and reconnect with yourself on land that has witnessed centuries of healing, reverence, and transformation.

When you gather at Alnoba, you are joining a lineage of seekers who honor the wisdom of the natural world and the connection between seen and unseen realms. Here, every breath and every step is an invitation to align with your truest self, held in the embrace of land imbued with spirit, history, and healing.

Let the magic of Alnoba inspire your journey—and allow yourself to experience transformation in a place where nature, art, and soul all come together.

Experience the Magic of Nature’s Aromatic Gifts

Enhance your retreat with hands-on essential oil workshops, where you’ll discover how to harness the healing power of nature’s botanicals. Guided by Andrea, you’ll explore the art and science of blending essential oils to support your well-being—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

In the serene embrace of nature, you’ll also experience the transformative synergy of Reiki and aromatherapy, finding balance, deep relaxation, and a renewed connection to your true self. As a special gift, you’ll take home a custom-crafted blend designed just for you, empowering your journey to SHINE long after the retreat ends.

Holistic Healing 

At the Time to Shine Retreat, we honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Every aspect of your experience is thoughtfully curated to support true, lasting well-being.

Start your mornings with gentle yoga to awaken your senses and enliven your body. Find stillness and clarity through guided meditations and deeply restorative Yoga Nidra, offering you space to quiet your mind and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Immerse yourself in healing modalities designed to nurture your unique journey—including Aroma Reiki, inspirational card readings, reflective journaling, and a Transformational Sound Healing Immersion. You’ll have time for rest, reflection, and connection in the peaceful beauty of nature.

As autumn’s energy and the Waning Gibbous Moon inspire us to release and renew, you’ll be guided through powerful rituals to let go of what no longer serves you. Our holistic approach centers on natural and subtle energy practices, helping you dissolve old patterns, restore balance, and illuminate your path forward.

Every element is crafted to nourish your whole self—so you can shine from the inside out.

Season of Release: Autumn Waning Moon Rituals

This is a time to celebrate growth, honor lessons learned, and gather wisdom before the new year.

 

This November, as the leaves gently fall and nature prepares for rest, we’ll gather in the heart of New England to honor the sacred art of letting go. The Waning Gibbous Moon will be our companion, supporting us in releasing old stories, patterns, and beliefs that have run their course.

Through guided ritual, restorative practices, and connection to the wisdom of the land, you’ll be invited to reflect, integrate, and align more deeply with your soul’s purpose. Autumn at Alnoba offers the perfect backdrop for this sacred process—crisp air, golden woods, and the quiet magic that only November in New Hampshire can bring.

Let’s gather to celebrate all you’ve become, release what no longer serves, and make space for your light to shine even brighter in the months ahead.

Subtle Aromatherapy & Sacred Anointing Workshop

Step into the ancient art of anointing and awaken your senses in this immersive workshop guided by Andrea, founder of Aroma Reiki and Myrrophore-inspired healing. Discover the power of subtle aromatherapy as you learn to harness the energetic and spiritual properties of essential oils, drawing from timeless Myrrophore wisdom and modern holistic techniques.

In this hands-on session, Andrea will share her signature method for creating personal anointing blends—beautifully attuned to your unique energy and intentions. You’ll explore sacred plant essences, intuitive selection, and the rituals of blending with purpose and prayer.
Each participant will craft and take home a customized oil blend, created in harmony with their own journey and soul needs.

The workshop culminates in a transformative anointing circle—a heart-centered ritual where you’ll experience the deep resonance of sacred oils, gentle touch, and intention, inviting profound clarity, healing, and connection.

Leave with:

  • A personalized anointing blend

  • Practical wisdom and techniques for sacred oil application

  • A renewed sense of spiritual connection and inner radiance

This is more than a workshop—it’s a rite of remembrance and a gift of self-blessing, rooted in ancient tradition and brought to life for your modern spiritual path.

With a Master’s degree in Literacy and Instruction, Andrea spent years supporting non-profits and consulting with schools across the nation, planting seeds of wisdom in classrooms and communities.

Sound Healing Immersion: Remembering Your Sacred Purpose through Integrity & Sacred Sound

Step into a transformative sound healing experience, uniquely crafted to support your journey with the SHINE Method—especially the “I”: Living with Integrity.

Prepare to reconnect with your truest self as you remember your sacred purpose and allow your Soul to Shine with sound. This immersive session—co-created with sound healer Carmen Hernandez—will bridge the Solar Plexus (personal power and confidence), Heart (compassion and sacred service), and Throat (authentic expression) chakras, empowering you to lead and speak with love, courage, and clarity.

Carmen will create a luminous soundscape with Gongs, Crystal and Himalayan bowls, and sacred rattles, using frequencies designed to awaken these three energy centers. The vibration of sacred sound invites you to release anything that dims your light or causes you to hold back your true essence. In this quantum field of heart-centered resonance, you’ll be gently guided to transmute old patterns and step more fully into your authentic path—where living with integrity and showing up as your true self is not only possible, but joyful.

This Sound Healing Immersion builds upon the deep work of our morning Aroma Reiki sessions—unlocking nature’s aromatic wisdom and attuning your energy to shine more brightly in every area of your life.
