I AM: Archetype Activation Retreat
Join me for a Sacred Gathering on July 12-14 at The Gift House in Reedville, VA!
Who are you beneath the stories you've inherited, the masks you've worn, and the expectations you've outgrown?
The I Am: Archetype Activation Retreat is a sacred, soul-stirring immersion into the many selves that live within you.

Through a rich blend of intuitive writing, conscious movement, energy work, and ritual play, we’ll call forth the fierce, the tender, the wild, the wise - the archetypes that have shaped your life story and those who are still waiting to emerge.
-
Rather than thinking of this as just another retreat, think of this as the cocoon to embrace who you are becoming, a remembering of who you’ve always been.
What You'll Experience*
Archetypal writing prompts & embodied journaling
Conscious dance & somatic activation
Partner and group practices for reflection and witnessing
Fire circles, altar-building, and identity rituals
Movement as medicine
Deep integration and soul-level clarity
*subject to change as we intuitively feel into what the group needs most
No previous writing, movement, or ritual experience is needed - just a willing heart and a curious spirit.
Bring a journal, your favorite writing tools, and any sacred items you’d like to place on our communal altar.

You are not just one. You are many. And all of you is welcome here.
The Gift House, our beautiful venue, is deeply connected to nature.
Whether you're navigating change, longing to reconnect with your truth, or simply craving a deep, soul-honoring reset, the I Am: Archetype Activation retreat is your sacred invitation.
It’s time to step forward. Speak your name. Embrace the story that only you can write.
Come and meet yourself by the river at the Gift House.
We’ll dance with our ancient inner archetypes.
We’ll write our true nature.
We’ll sing, laugh, cry, create altars and cast spells with our words.
You’ll be witnessed, held, and invited to fully step into the YOU that’s been quietly waiting to be reclaimed.
This retreat is for anyone in transition - anyone standing at the threshold of change, rebirth, or transition.
Held in an intimate circle of 6 kindred seekers and guided by Valley Haggard, with the support of a gentle assistant, we’ll gather in a beautiful, nature-based space to unbind, unravel, and reawaken.
Over the course of 3 days, we’ll explore:
The past: Meeting and releasing the archetypes you’ve outgrown
The present: Embodying the energies guiding you now
The future: Inviting the archetypes ready to lead you in your becoming
Please email hello@valleyhaggard.com if you have any questions! We’d love to retreat with you!
