Gisele at Lotus Healing Arts at Conscious Growth Convergence
I’m honored to bring Lotus Healing Arts back to the Conscious Growth Convergence this year, with my healing space within the Healing Sanctuary.
From October 1–4, 2026, at Lost Valley Education Center in Dexter, Oregon, I’ll be offering Ancestral Energy Medicine sessions throughout the gathering.
Ancestral Energy Medicine is a practice rooted in ancestral wisdom, mediumship, and energetic work. It supports energetic cleansing and the release of heavy and/or stagnant energies, while supporting reconnection with inner strength, mental clarity, and emotional balance.
The intention of this work is to empower you to continue your own healing journey, make decisions aligned with your truth, and move forward with greater strength, clarity, and confidence on your path.
I’ll be offering a calm, private, and welcoming space within the festival where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, and receive support during your session.
The Conscious Growth Convergence brings together music, art, movement, ceremony, education, and community in relationship with the land and with one another. Within this larger gathering, the Healing Sanctuary offers a space to slow down, receive, and tend to what sustains us.
Come experience this beautiful gathering, and visit me at the Lotus Healing Arts healing space within the Healing Sanctuary!

Zen New Year Retreat 2026 Brazil
The New Year Retreat was exactly what we needed to begin the year fully recharged!
A truly wonderful group. Together, we wove a living vibration through yoga practices, meditation, sound yoga, river baths, gatherings, ceremonial cacao, dance (ecstatic dance), bonfires, presence, many smiles, and new friendships.
There were even fire juggling performances, celebrating life in motion!
It was a true reconnection with our biorhythm. And by accessing this state, we touched our essence: joy, authenticity, our inner power, and inner peace. Rooted and open, this is how we began the year.
Deep gratitude to this beautiful group who wove this experience with us and were part of this transformative journey.
