Is it time to gift yourself a day of sanctuary, in this Fall’s Healing Temple?
Will you be ready to give yourself the spaciousness
…to truly exhale?
What might shift for you, in a day devoted to your own nurturing? To be gathering with kindred spirits as, in early November, we begin to prepare for winter?
This guided, many-layered journey feels like a cross between a meditation retreat, a ritual and a healing spa. And it’s something we’ve been hosting in Leavenworth for the past eleven years.
Perhaps you’ve been here before… or maybe this is your first time:
You are invited to surrender into receiving: to be nourished, supported and witnessed within an intimate group of women… in a beautiful retreat center in the Cascade mountains. (If you’re coming from out of town, you can stay on-site in this beautiful wooded sanctuary; contact Katherine for info.)
The “schedule” is gentle, in this mostly-silent gathering. You will spiral many times through the choreographed rhythm of the day—receiving mini-sessions from five healing practitioners who will help catalyze and integrate your experience; reflecting, alone, with your journal; and sharing, in a small facilitated group.
This is a focused, private event for a select group of women who are excited by the prospect of having sacred time, space, and the support of community to “take a moment” and turn your attention inward.
Eight staff will be serving the 15 women who participate in this journey.
If you are feeling called, come join us!
This will be your time: to relax and to “fill your cup.” You can also use the time to explore, shift, or otherwise transform something that is “up” for you, in your life.
Entering the Healing Temple® is still a new form, in the scope of things: one that makes sure that body, mind and spirit are all attended to, in a clear, integrated and powerful way.
In the past 12 years, women in California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Washington State will have attended 53 Healing Temples by the time we gather… some coming back, year after year.
Still, very few women have had the opportunity to experience anything quite like this.
So, come.
Let’s continue nourishing the growth of this beautiful form, making some magic together:
Entering the Healing Temple — A Day of Sanctuary for Women.
Alicia Clair, a catalyst for community healing, is our On-the-Ground Goddess.

ON-THE-GROUND GODDESS
Alicia: “I’ve had my eye on The Healing Temple for a few years. It’s been a real presence in Leavenworth, since 2015. Last year, I founded the NCW Healing Arts Collective to connect and elevate the healing arts practitioners of our region. It acts both as a directory, as well as a living community, where practitioner members know each other, refer to each other, and show up for each other. When I looked at the women in our Collective, I saw exactly the kind of gifted, grounded healers that Entering the Healing Temple is built around. Sponsoring and co-producing this powerful day seemed like a natural fit! I am honored to help bring this day back to Leavenworth, and I look forward to meeting you there.” ncwhealingarts.com

HEALING TEMPLE FOUNDER & GUIDE
Katherine: “It is such a treat to come across the mountains and join local practitioners in producing a Healing Temple in Leavenworth. No matter what time of year we gather, it’s always beautiful. And it’s a rare opportunity for all of us to take a powerful pause, in person, in mostly-silence, integrating body, mind and spirit. As always, Entering the Healing Temple® provides a sacred container for self-care… and for transformation. I’m both excited and honored to facilitate this magical, multi-layered event. And I’m looking forward to seeing you all in person!!”

ENERGY HEALING
Julien: “I have been blessed to be a practicing energy healer for the past decade of my life. My certification is in Healing Through the Human Energy Field from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, and my passion is in guiding and facilitating your journey as you reconnect and align with your soul. My intention at The Healing Temple is to honor your unique and divine essence, using my gifts to support your healing process. I excel in intuitive, visual, kinesthetic, and auditory high sense perception, which is how I detect and gently reorient your energy field to best support your highest good. Between Port Townsend and Leavenworth, this will be my fifth time serving on a Healing Temple staff. I know what a powerful day it is… and I’m really looking forward to connecting with you on this one!”

INTEGRATIVE MASSAGE
Emily: “Synchronization and Love are at the heart of my practice. I begin each session by grounding myself so I can tune in fully and listen to your body with care and presence. From there, I follow your body’s lead— gently inviting safety, softness, space, and flow into your fascia. My sessions blend deep tissue and relaxation massage with CranioSacral and energy work, allowing me to meet your system with both skill and sensitivity. I’m genuinely excited to come back to the Healing Temple and to co-create a vibrant, nurturing space for collective healing with you.” thehealingroomcashmere.com

THAI MASSAGE
Carmen: “As a young girl, I felt called to the healing arts. I thank my father, who passed on the Native teachings of honoring the land and our bodies with nutritious food and gracious intentions. My connection to touch has always been instinctual: I began my healthcare journey early on, excelling in Sports Medicine in high school. I studied nursing and exercise science, finally rooting my practice in the world of Massage Therapy. After years of experience in the spa and chiropractic realms, I stumbled upon the ancient practice of Thai Yoga Massage, immediately captivated by the somatic release and vitality it brought to my patients. Today, I offer Thai Yoga in the Wenatchee Valley, at my Holistic Healing Clinic and Somatic Movement Studio, HUMBLEBEE COLLECTIVE – as well as here, at the Healing Temple!” humblebeecollectivemassage.com

EMBODIED ROOTS
Amber: “My teachings are founded on two psychology degrees, a 20-year shamanic apprenticeship and practice, Ceremony and Ritual facilitation, 30 years of teaching/practicing Yoga, and more. My work is in service to helping you create the conditions for a nourishing, full spectrum experience of your Life. Your Healing Temple session is a living Nature Constellation – Embodied Roots, a restorative process of re-membering your sense of belonging to the lands that have held you across time, the land that lives in your bones, the ground where you took your first breath. Together we’ll tune in to the morphic field, accessing the often unseen dynamics informing what moves beneath the surface, learn from what was, and bring these patterns into a more harmonious foundation for the unfoldment of your Becoming.” www.MysticLiving.org

SPIRITUAL CLARITY IMMERSION
Jamie: “I’m Jamie Johnson. As a certified transformational coach, facilitator, educator, and author, I’ve spent more than 25 years helping people reconnect with what matters most. My work has taken me to classrooms and communities across the U.S., India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Ghana, teaching and coaching women who are carrying full lives… and longing for greater clarity, peace, and self-trust. At the heart of my work is helping you hear your inner wisdom again. Here, at the Healing Temple, I’ll guide you through a process of quieting your mind, body, heart, and spirit so you can bring a meaningful question into a deeper conversation with yourself and the Divine. Together, we’ll create space to listen, discern, and discover what wants to emerge.” jamienikole.com
Keeper of the Flow
Alicia Clair
Alicia: “When you step into the Healing Temple, you get to set down the part of your mind that tracks time, manages logistics, and asks what comes next. Instead, you leave that to me! As Keeper of the Flow, all of that is my job. I’ve spent years bridging the analytical and the intuitive through my work with the NCW Healing Arts Collective, the song circles I facilitate, and the variety of small businesses I’ve helped grow. I know how to hold structure lightly, and how to move you from one space to the next without breaking the thread of what you’re in the middle of experiencing. My intention is to be the steady current underneath your day, so that you can stay fully in it.” ncwhealingarts.com
The Food Goddess
Jess (Myre) Richards
Jess: “Hi, my name is Jess, founder of Green Girl Goodies. I believe that the true path to healthy living involves so much more than a nutritious diet. ‘Food’ isn’t only about what you put in your body. ‘Food’ is also what you do in your daily life to feed your soul, and to care for the world around you. No matter how well you eat, if you aren’t balanced in all areas of your life, you will never feel full! My passions are helping people find that balance in their life, so they can enjoy their journey along the way, AND I love sharing my obsession with tasty, healthy, whole foods. This will be my fourth time serving as the Temple’s Food Goddess: I am honored to nourish you – both participants and staff – during your Healing Temple journey!” HealthyGreenGirlKitchen.com
