Holly — Founder, With Soul Retreats, Host + Breathwork Facilitator

Hello! I'm Holly. I support women in business + badass babes as a retreat curator, host, magnetizer + embodied conduit. I thrive by living in bold magic, with intention + being the ripple in this life.

I've been creating + holding space for women since 2001 through holistic bodywork, immersive retreats, and events/gatherings. For much of my practice and path (from 2001-2016) I was a holistic bodywork practitioner blending psycho-structural balancing and therapeutic massage with energy work. I studied at IPSB School of Integrative Psycho Structural Bodywork, completing 600+ hours of training. My time at IPSB included sessions in cellular recall therapy under the instruction of Joan Wulfsohn, a student of Carlos Castanada; her work had a profound affect on my life by helping me access memories and trauma on a cellular level. In 2015 I completed Ceremonies for Communities training + certification with Laura Vesta and in 2021 I became a First Degree Practitioner in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Tradition of Natural Healing, with attunements from Reiki Master & Teacher, Karly Ridings. Most recently, I completed Breath Coach Training with The Whole Health Project and will complete Trauma Aware Facilitation Training by summer.

I started down the path of retreats by creating and hosting Radical Sister Circles — accelerated manifestation groups for women wanting to break through barriers to their next big thing. Then, in 2020 I held my first retreat, Connect + Create in Oahu, and launched With Soul Retreats from that experience. I've since held retreats in Todos Santos at Pachamama Mexico, Hidden Leaf Baja, and locations throughout Oregon. I am currently part of the global retreat team at Hidden Leaf Baja as their marketing maven and co-facilitator.

All this to say — I have a deep need to retreat as a way to recalibrate my soul and I believe others benefit from this intentional time set aside as well. I love to help women thrive, myself included! My intention is to create, gather, and connect in sacred spaces worldwide. I'll be your curator, host, and conduit for Well-Being Daydream and assure you that I have crafted an unforgettable experience for us all.

SIDE NOTE: I'm also the owner of With Soul Agency and Sip, Savor, Explore Oregon ;)

Kevin — Soundshala's Sounder & Founder + Sound Journey Facilitator

Kevin is dearly loved by the Central Oregon sound healing community and beyond. He is a champion of community and jovial celebration, as well as devoted yogi, sound healer, father and friend. Kevin's journey with sound healing began over a decade ago when he was living in Hawaii, and has only expanded in depth, musical variety, and holistic understanding since.

Over the last decade he's become a student of music and the Great Mystery in a way that lends itself to the Art & Science of Sound Healing. His vision for classes is to open and transport people to a place where work is being done on a cellular level while the people rest. For years, he has witnessed the people DOING, and strives to create a sanctuary of a space where people can just BE, and in that become a more full expression of their truest nature while simultaneously building community and reducing stress and other life distractions.

Kevin's 15 years as a yoga teacher influences his stylistic approach to sound healing, as he often weaves in Vedic themes and wisdom in easy to access and integrate ways. His style often brings both levity and learning to the sound bath experience. You walk away inspired and curious, as well as deeply seated in yourself.

He has a way of leaving you with a seed of potential that when watered can bloom powerfully.

Liora — Empowerment Coach for Wholehearted Living + Workshop Facilitator

I’m Liora, an Empowerment Coach for Wholehearted Living. I work with my clients to help them live with purpose, passion and realize their dreams. If you’re ready to overcome fear, self-doubt and overwhelm, while developing new tools and habits to reconnect with self-love, self-expression and success you’re in the right place. By living wholeheartedly, you will have more energy, clarity and power to manifest your deepest desires.

I help creatives, entrepreneurs and change-makers live wholeheartedly and manifest their desires.

I am certified life coach and have worked in the personal development industry for over 10 years. I received life coaching certification from Coach Training Alliance and spiritual coaching certification from Life Purpose Institute. I also lead workshops and keynote speeches to inspire people to connect to their purpose and authentic selves and become ready to to take action aligned with their goals.

My methodology: The internal work produces external results. It’s easy to blame circumstances or other people for what’s wrong in our lives. But the power is looking within, at our fears and blocks. When we do that, we create space to re-envision another way of living life.

When you work with me, we focus on the following area – Mindset, Heart, Energy & Inspired Action.
