Amplify Love Retreat: A Day of Healing, Giving Back, and Dreaming Big
As I reflect on the Amplify Love Retreat held on January 11, 2025, my heart feels full and deeply inspired. This day was not just a retreat; it was the foundation of something far greater—a movement of love, healing, and connection. Hosted at the tranquil Red Roof Retreat, the event was a beautiful blend of self-care, community, and giving back, and I am thrilled to share the highlights with you.
A Heartfelt Gathering
Seventeen incredible individuals came together for this special event, each bringing their unique energy and open hearts. The day began with an opening circle led by me, where we set our intentions and shared heart-to-heart in a sacred space. This circle was the foundation for everything that followed, as we connected deeply with ourselves and each other.
Throughout the day, I also guided participants through meditation, grounding exercises, and activities designed to align with their highest selves. The yoga session I led was centered on heart alignment and grounding—a powerful practice to help everyone step into the new year with clarity and strength.
Our Generous Facilitators
This retreat would not have been possible without the talented healers and practitioners who offered their gifts:
Tala’s and Carmyn’s Sound Bath: Their sacred sound bath transported participants into a state of deep relaxation and healing, allowing them to release what no longer served them and welcome peace.
Amal and Kallie’s Energy Healing: These two incredible energy healers offered transformative 20-minute sessions, leaving everyone feeling balanced, refreshed, and renewed.
Anita’s Mini Facials and Hand Massages: Anita created a luxurious self-care experience, using organic, high-vibrational products that nourished both skin and soul.
Mate’s Chair Massages: Mate provided soothing chair massages, which were a huge hit among attendees. The gentle yet effective treatments were a perfect addition to the retreat, helping everyone feel deeply relaxed.
Community and Giving Back
This retreat was about more than self-care; it was also about giving back. I am thrilled to share that we raised $1,000, with 100% of the proceeds donated to the Red Roof Retreat. For over 20 years, this incredible charity has supported individuals with special needs in the Niagara Region, and I am honored that our event could contribute to their mission.
A Surprise Visit from the Media
One of the most unexpected and exciting moments was a visit from a local reporter who shared the story of our retreat with the community. The recognition was a beautiful affirmation of the impact we are creating together. You can read the full article here.
Dreaming Bigger
This retreat was not just an event; it was a stepping stone toward something much bigger. I have a vision of creating the Amplify Love Spiritual Sanctuary—a sacred temple dedicated to healing, spirituality, and community. My dream is to have it officially recognized as a government-approved church or charity, providing a space where people can come together to amplify love, find healing, and connect to their higher selves.
This retreat was the first step in making that vision a reality. I plan to host these retreats once a season, building a community of like-minded souls who are ready to prioritize self-care, give back, and amplify love in the world.
The Heart of the Retreat
The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Many shared how deeply healing and transformative the day was for them. The blend of healing sessions, self-care offerings, yoga, and heartfelt connection created an experience that left everyone feeling lighter, clearer, and more aligned.
