A powerful weekend immersion, “Embody Your Soul’s Wisdom: Experience Being Who You Are”, will take place May 29–31 at the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Guided by Shaman Janet StraightArrow, this retreat offers a profound opportunity for spiritual growth, expanded awareness and authentic connection.

Rooted in universal wisdom, the experience welcomes participants of all backgrounds to explore the direct relationship between soul and self. Through a sixth-dimensional practice, attendees are guided to access their innate wisdom, align with their life purpose and embody their true nature. The work emphasizes blending humanity with divinity—supporting deep healing, clarity and transformation across emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

Participants will learn to release fear, past trauma and limiting beliefs while opening to greater peace, insight and self-expression. As connection with the soul deepens, many report a renewed sense of purpose, empowerment and inner guidance that continues to unfold long after the retreat ends.

StraightArrow, who has taught this advanced practice for more than 23 years, creates a supportive and expansive environment for all—from teens to elders—seeking meaningful growth and transformation.

Additional opportunities include Take the Monkey Out of Your Mind on May 16 (in person in Montclair, NJ, and via Zoom May 19), offering simple tools to quiet the mind and release stuck emotions, and the Catskill Summer Vision Quest & Mitote, July 9–12 in Accord, NY, a nature-based immersive experience designed to awaken clarity, purpose and joy.

May Retreat is $625, and held at Retreat Himalayan Institute Yoga Center in Honesdale, PA. For more information or to register call 973-647-2500 and visit BeTheMedicine.com. See ad, page 9.
