Facilitated by: Nichole DeMent, an intuitive artist and quantum healer specializing in connecting individuals with their inner voice and authentic soul alignment  

Join Nichole DeMent on a profound journey back to your Creative Divine Self. Over this transformative weekend, we’ll explore tools to help you reconnect with your inner voice and deepen your relationship with the greater spirit that connects all life. Nichole brings years of experience in guiding individuals toward self-discovery and alignment with their soul’s true purpose, allowing each participant to uncover insights unique to their authentic path.  

Workshop Focus  

This retreat is an invitation to recognize the sacred in the everyday and to listen deeply to the desires of your soul. Through reflective exercises, sound healing, art-making, and nature connection, Nichole will guide you to awaken your intuition, embrace your inner wisdom, and connect with your authentic purpose. You’ll gain valuable tools to navigate life with greater clarity, peace, and alignment with your truth within a heart-centered community and on the healing grounds of Indralaya.  

What to Expect: Each day offers an opportunity to explore intuitive approaches to your Authentic Divinity & Purpose  

• Intuitive Sound and Voice Work: Experience sound, movement and voice as transformative tools for reconnecting with the deepest aspects of self. 
• Journaling and Reflection: Guided writing practices help uncover layers of inner wisdom and bring your soul’s purpose into clearer focus. 
• Sacred Creativity: Through art and creativity as a spiritual practice, you’ll learn to create from a place of openness and intuition. 
• Nature as Healer and Mirror: Engage with the natural world as a living, breathing reflection of your own spirit, building a relationship of reverence and attunement. 

Saturday’s Mandala Creation Workshop will be an especially potent aspect of Divine Creative Alignment, allowing participants to connect with their creative energies as a means to discover symbolic expressions of their personal journey. Nichole will guide you to embrace intuition and let the mandala process unfold naturally, revealing what your soul most needs to express.  

Each day will include a combination of grounding meditations, interactive workshops, and community-focused activities designed to help you reconnect with aspects of yourself that long for expression. We will journey through sound, sacred art and celebrate together in joyful experiences like Saturday evening’s ecstatic dance party.  

The structure of the weekend is intentionally designed to hold space for reflection, engagement, and expression in a peaceful, restorative setting. Participants will leave feeling renewed, inspired, and more connected to their authentic selves and the world around them.
