Our Principles.
These retreat principles offer a transformative experience, fostering personal growth, community building, and an enhanced connection with your intuition and inner wisdom.
Principle 1: Embrace Neutrality and Energetic Boundaries
In our sacred space, we communicate wisdom with compassion and spiritual neutrality. As participants, we ground ourselves with unwavering integrity, fostering a deeper connection to our intuition and the community. By recognizing the importance of energetic boundaries, we create a safe and harmonious environment for all.
Principle 2: Cultivate Authenticity
Our community emphasizes the importance of embracing your authentic self and fully embodying your Original Essence Energy.. We encourage you to tap in, connect with your core values, and express your thoughts and observations authentically. By doing so, you not only honor your individuality but also contribute to the collective energy of our retreat, creating a space where everyone's true selves can shine brightly. Embrace your authenticity and let your unique energy light up our shared journey. In this practice we aim for deeper connections, personal fulfillment, and a retreat experience that empowers each of us to live in harmony with our true selves.
Principle 3: Set Intention and Trust Inner Guidance
Embrace the Power of Intention and Inner Guidance: Take a moment to set clear, heart-centered intentions for your journey and participation during your time at this retreat… Trust your inner wisdom as your guide as we collectively create sacred space for personal and collective transformation.
Principle 4: Cultivate Awareness and Self-Responsibility
Prioritize your well-being and self-love during the retreat. Embrace a deep awareness of both yourself and others by tuning into the needs of the environment that surrounds us throughout your stay. We're all active creators of our shared experiences and participants within this community guided by principles of spiritual integrity. This heightened awareness empowers us to support one another and nurture the spaces we collectively inhabit.
Principle 5: Honor Sacred Space and Alignment
Seek harmonious alignment within yourself and with the natural energies around us. We acknowledge the sacredness of the land beneath us as we embark on our journey of co-creation and exploration. With intention, we entrain to hold sacred space for the collective energy of the Academy as we deepen our connection to Gaia and universal energies.
Principle 6: Active Contribution
Take an active role in supporting our shared experience by upholding the integrity of communal spaces, events, assigned roles, and communal meals. Our inclusive environment thrives when each participant takes an active role in enriching the experience. Beyond the individual, it's through these collective efforts that we create an atmosphere where mutual growth and interconnectedness flourish.
Principle 7: Foster Community and Celebration
This retreat serves as a powerful platform for expansion within the Academy of Intuition Medicine® Community. Here, we find the strength and inspiration to thrive, learn, and evolve. Let’s celebrate the inherent value of our collective journey as we engage in group activities, shared experiences, and forge deeper connections in a dynamic and secure environment. All of these moments serve to deepen our connection and foster the collective wisdom of the AIM community.
Principle 8: Embrace Playfulness and Creativity
We invite you to nurture a limitless curiosity for creativity, opening the door to endless possibilities. Together, we engage in the joyful act of co-creating our reality and venturing into new dimensions as spiritual beings rooted in wisdom. This mindset not only fosters self-discovery and credibility but also fills our exploration with the pure delight of shared discovery. So, let's come together and infuse our journey with the spirit of fun and exploration!
Principle 9: Express Gratitude and Acknowledgment
We acknowledge with gratitude the guidance and teachings offered by this retreat. We extend our appreciation to the dedicated retreat team, our esteemed teachers and alumni, and, in particular, to Dr. Francesca McCartney for bringing forth profound insights and wisdom for contemplation on this journey of self-discovery and embodiment. In this exploration we honor the interconnectedness of all beings and recognize each of us as an integral part of a greater whole.
Principle 10: Integrate Retreat Wisdom
During our event, we encourage you to embrace the principle of embodying retreat wisdom and extending its reach. As you engage in teachings, activities, and insightful moments, do so with an open heart and a curious spirit. These transformative experiences are not confined to this sacred space alone; they are meant to resonate within you. Your participation is not solely about the experiences gathered here, but also about how you carry the wisdom gained into your daily life, community, and personal growth. So, when it's time to bid farewell, let your newfound wisdom be a radiant torch, illuminating your path ahead and shining through your actions and presence. Integration serves as the vital bridge connecting the retreat experience to your ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth.
