Healing Immersions by Aria Mae Everts

Aria Mae Everts is scheduling one-day, immersive, private, healing retreats for individuals and couples at a sacred sanctuary for summer and fall. Healing immersions are for those in the midst of a difficult or transformative life event or deciding on seeking further guidance—maybe feeling overwhelmed and needing a break to reconnect and reset, or a conscious business or community leader seeking tools to better serve the world with alignment and integrity.

            Everts says, “Whether you’re looking for a transformative initiation or just some space to slow down and relax in an intentionally cultivated retreat, I look forward to supporting your intentions. Feeling called to explore your spirituality and not sure where to begin? Do you already have a rich spiritual life, but wish you had space to connect more deeply? Are you somewhere in-between and looking for more knowledge and tools? Wherever you are on your journey, I am here for you.”

Free consultation. Location: Bellaire. For more information, call 774-578-2762, email [email protected] or visit AriaMae.com.
