Dear Visionistas ~
.
Does winter feel particularly long this year?
.
Could you benefit from sacred time for a reset—a new beginning?
.
Spring is a season of emergence, renewal, and new possibilities. As the seasons turn, so do we.
.
Just as the earth reawakens after winter’s rest, this is a potent pause—a sacred moment to begin again...
.
For years, we’ve gathered at the New Year, Mid-Year, and Autumn Harvest. Now, we'll align with the Nature's New Year—the Spring Equinox—and gather on Fri, March 21 - Sat, March 23.
.
In the words of Dr. Ernest Holmes, we’re coming together to “consciously court the Divine!” To pause... be still... and listen...
.
This is our time to:
.
|
RE-center in spiritual truth— that we are divinely guided and held.
. |
|
RE-align with what truly matters— to live a life deeply aligned with who we are.
. |
|
RE-imagine what is possible—including visions once deferred, dismissed, or seemingly denied.
. |
|
RE-new our engery— gather inner resources to spring forward into our visions.
. |
Like seedlings requiring the right environment to flourish, our Spring Equinox Visioning Retreat provides the nourishment, support, and collective energy needed for profound transformation.
.
So, if you’re ready to reset and begin again— to and bloom, join us!
.
This retreat is for you.
.
Warmly,
Rai Jordan, RScP Emerita
Founder & Spiritual Director
Higher Vision Institute

"I'm so grateful for these visioning retreats and circles you offer. I get insights from visioning with you that I don't get from visioning by myself or from any other spiritual practice. Thanks to you and these sessions, I'm learning how to quiet my mind and tune in to the inner wisdom of my own soul. And I'm counting the days to this next one!"

"The session I had with Rai changed my life. Negative things and people quickly moved out of my life afterward. It was a major turning point for me and I haven't looked back since."

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.

"Rai is my first formal visioning teacher. I've been visioning with her for over a decade and I know her to be an embodiment of Visioning. I believe you will find this visioning retreat to be informative, transformative and inspiring. Expect to discover more about the divine design of your life."

What Visioning Can Do For You...
. |
.
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 26 years. No other process or technique has been so powerful, so deeply transformative for me. It can be the same for you.

Each year brings something new. Visioning with Rai is a powerful experience. I’m continually amazed at what comes up for me during this fun and sacred time. I’m counting down the days!!"

"Rai’s visioning retreats always jump start my year. In 2014, frustrated that my talents were only partly being used, I surrendered deeply and got the message to 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. Rai creates a space in which the new is not so much scary as it is exciting."
