* For those who may be new to me and SoulArts retreat guided depth process: In the last 3 decades, I have worked one-on-one with hundreds of women and men coming to stay and work with me at my former artisan home retreat in Ojai, California. This process has gained some degree of international reputation as a dramatic depth process of healing and life directing awakening. You can also get a good sense of background from client testimonials, and from earlier writings, guided meditations, and YouTube videos.
Today, I am thrilled to have entered the next phase of this life work from our new spectacular home estate on 8 acres overlooking lake, mountains and hiking trails right from our door in beautiful artful, Ashland, Oregon.
INTEGRATIVE DEPTH MENTORING & RETREAT PROGRAMS
Private Retreat for Life Crossroads & Transitions
Depth Mentoring Intensive — Ashland, Oregon
Private, in-residence retreat and depth mentoring in Ashland, Oregon for those at a true life crossroads or major transition.
This is a one-on-one guided intensive for individuals seeking clarity, renewal, and meaningful next direction—often at a stage in life where what once worked no longer holds, and something deeper is asking to emerge.
This work is especially resonant for women in midlife and beyond, while open to all who recognize themselves here.
***
There are times in a life when something deeper begins asking to be seen,
Not as an idea.
Not as another plan... But as a turning point.
Many who come here are at a true crossroads—
where what has been built no longer fully fits,
and what is next has not yet taken form.
This work begins there.
In a private, home-based retreat setting in Ashland, Oregon, we enter a focused, one-on-one intensive—designed to meet your life directly, without formula and without distraction.
This is not a program.
It is a guided, living process—where your life is met with precision, depth, and the intelligence it has been asking for.
What This Work Is
A private retreat intensive is a highly focused, one-on-one immersion designed for those navigating:
-
life crossroads and major transitions
-
reinvention in midlife and beyond
-
persistent patterns that have not resolved through conventional approaches
-
the call toward deeper purpose, expression, or contribution
There is no fixed curriculum. That would betray the aliveness response required for such transformation.
Each retreat moves in real time—meeting the exact conditions, questions, and thresholds present in your life.
Why People Come
People travel here for one reason:
Because something in their life has reached a point where
clarity can no longer be postponed.
Often, they have already:
-
read extensively
-
worked with therapists or coaches
-
tried to think their way forward
And yet something essential remains just out of reach.
This work engages that level directly—
where insight becomes lived clarity, and direction begins to organize from within.
The Private Retreat Experience
Your retreat is most often held as a 3-night, in-residence intensive in a private home estate setting in Ashland, Oregon.
Surrounded by open land, quiet, and expansive views, the environment supports the depth and focus this work requires.
This structure allows for:
-
uninterrupted attention
-
depth of conversation and inquiry
-
real-time integration, not just insight
We will work across multiple modes depending on what your life calls for:
-
direct dialogue
-
creative inquiry (writing, image, symbolic exploration)
-
embodied awareness and perceptual work
-
applied real-life integration
The pace follows what is ready to shift:
Nothing is rushed.
Nothing is forced.
Possible Areas of Focus
Each retreat is unique, but often includes:
Inner Re-attunement
Returning to the ground where inner wisdom leads your life decisions.
Vitality & System Restoration
Recalibrating the mind-body foundation that supports clear living.
Living Legacy & Creative Expression
Giving form to what your life is ready to offer.
Vision & Financial Alignment (by request)
Ensuring your outer structures support your deeper direction.
Structure & Investment
The private retreat intensive is most often held as a 3-night, in-residence experience.
This duration allows the work to move beyond surface insight into real clarity, integration, and forward direction.
Investment:
$1,800 per night
($5,400 total for the 3-night retreat)
All retreats are private and include:
-
your own private suite with access to large art studio, the home patios and sitting areas and grounds
-
dedicated one-on-one mentoring throughout
-
meals and in-residence experience
-
post-retreat integration support
Because this work is highly individualized and immersive,
only a limited number of retreats are offered a season (by availability and appropriateness).
Travel Arrangements
Most people arrive by flights into Medford International Airport and leasing a Rental or Uber to Ashland Retreat. For those desiring some Northern California and/or Southern Oregon's many spectacular coastal ocean and mountainous lake expeditions, some arrive at San Fransisco or Portland Airports and lease a rental for more expanded time of personal reflection/integration and sightseeing after the retreat.
Working Together
This work is not for everyone.
It is for those who recognize themselves in what is described here—
and who are ready to meet their life deeply and directly.
If that is true for you, begin by reaching out with a brief note about what is calling you at this time and why this depth work with me specifically speaks to you.
