The immersion

Four days to clear the channel and give the year a form

Over four intentional days, participants will clear what has been blocking the channel, reconnect with the truth of their being, receive a vision for the year ahead, and give that vision tangible form through words, images, movement, ritual, and community.

Meals are included in the retreat ticket. A place to sleep is chosen separately: bring a tent, book a single bed, a bunk or a Care Cottage queen, or take a whole room or the whole Time Traveler bus.

What the days weave together

A channel, a body, a circle

  • EFT and emotional clearing
  • Prayer and meditation
  • Ecstatic dance and embodied movement

More of the weave is still being written. This list is the part Sonya has already named.

The Future Self Supper

An evening with the person you are becoming

Dress as your future self, wear one symbolic item, or simply arrive prepared to speak from that identity. During dinner, the conversation is as though it is already January 2028.

Costuming is a playful option, not another assignment. The magic does not require a sequined cape or a time machine.

Where we gather

The same land as Goddess Gathering

Beautiful Beginnings is held on the Land in Texas, in McDade, about 45 minutes east of Austin: the same 40 acres that hold Goddess Gathering. Soul Sanctuary, Care Cottage, the Time Traveler bus, Small Miracle, and the tent areas are the places to sleep. Sonya’s house is off-limits.

Tap a photo for the room. Bedrooms are from the houses themselves. Shared rooms and the outsides are from Goddess Gathering, on this same land. Small Miracle is still being built.

A ticket, then a place to sleep

1. Retreat ticket

One ticket per person. Food for Thursday through Sunday is included. There is no meal opt-out.

2. Lodging and the drive in

Optional. Book a bed or a whole room: the name tells you which room it is in, and the photo is that room. Beds in the same room share one count, so a whole room takes all of them. Small Miracle is coming soon.
