The Purposeful Path: Retreat Recap
A Vision Board Workshop Rooted in Numerology: Summer Retreat Recap
The Purposeful Path retreat on August 2, 2025, was a transformative gathering inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson's quote, “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” Hosting nine participants, the retreat focused on creating vision boards infused with the principles of numerology and personal aspirations, guiding attendees to align their desires with the energies of the year.
The retreat unfolded as a rich journey for participants, blending personal exploration with collective energy. Throughout the day, participants delved into their personal desires through numerology, discovering fresh insights related to their life path and personal year numbers. These revelations formed the foundation for their vision boards, allowing the group to have a concise focus when choosing the magazine cutouts to be placed on their boards.
Throughout the experience, participants explored numerology, a system that assigns meaning to numbers and reveals their significance in one’s life. By discovering their life path and personal year numbers, participants gained new insights into their strengths, challenges, and the themes that would resonate throughout 2025. This in-depth exploration became an invitation to allow them to see how their unique energies could align with their aspirations.
The inclusion of the Garnet stone was interwoven into the retreat's focus on desire and intention. This stone is known for its energizing properties and its ability to inspire passion and motivation. Incorporating the healing aspects of Garnet added a physical and spiritual dimension to the retreat, offering participants an opportunity to feel grounded in their pursuits.
The Purposeful Path retreat also incorporated techniques from Active Dreaming—a methodology developed by Robert Moss that blends modern dreamwork with cultural traditions and scientific theories. Adding a unique layer to the retreat, participants engaged in exercises that encouraged tapping into the subconscious to release fears and blocks. This methodology emphasized the importance of dreams in personal growth and understanding, revealing to participants that their dreams can be a source of guidance.
Participants played the Lightning Dream Work Game, which enabled the group to go deeper into the messages of their Vision Boards. A group meditation was used to release blocks hindering previous intentions and weave together a shared space of inspiration. An additional meditation was then offered to allow participants a connection with their future selves, further enhancing their focus and reflection around the design of their Purposeful Path boards.
The retreat concluded with a sharing circle where participants presented their Purposeful Path Boards. This communal sharing fostered a sense of connection and support, reinforcing the idea that everyone’s journey is intertwined with others. Participants left with a sense of accountability and encouragement to pursue their new goals with vigor.
A holistic experience that combined introspection, creativity, community, and spiritual practices, the Purposeful Path retreat empowered participants to step into their desired future.
With confidence and clarity,
