January 13th, 2023 - January 15th, 2023
As featured in the Netflix series 'Surviving Death,' this is a very special all-inclusive weekend of like-minded people and experienced facilitators coming together to SHARE, LEARN, EXPLORE, AND DISCOVER. This retreat features an 'All Star' cast of extraordinary mediums and will feature a combination of small break-out sessions and general presentations, all designed to open minds to the reality that there is life beyond physical death. This retreat will be limited to a maximum of 50 attendees, and smaller break-out sessions will further enhance the overall experience.
The all-inclusive retreat rates include lodging (except for commuter rates), parking, and all meals and snacks for the weekend. Meals begin with Friday night dinner and end with Sunday lunch.
A limited block of rooms has been set aside for retreat attendees, and that block will expire on December 7th, 2023. Beyond that date, at the option of the hotel, the room rate may increase, thereby increasing the currently listed reservation rates.
