Every retreat is its own living, breathing world.

Different land. Different people. Different energies. Different lessons. Different medicine.

No retreat is ever the same. And that is part of what makes each one so sacred. So unrepeatable. So worthy of being celebrated.

Each one is once in a lifetime.

This Journey to the Sacred in Bali was its own kind of unfolding.

It invited deep holding. It invited us into the unexpected. It asked us to meet life, reality, and the sacred all at once.

And through it, we kept coming home. Again and again.

Home to ourselves. Home to each other. Home to the moment. Home to what was true, even when it wasn’t what we planned.

There was something so real in this journey. So human. So tender. So holy.

We did not just gather in beauty. We lived through the unexpected together. We softened. We adapted. We witnessed. We held. We were held.

And in that, something deeper revealed itself.

This retreat was its own prayer. Its own teaching. Its own once-in-a-lifetime becoming.

So today, I’m celebrating this journey exactly as it was. The women who came. The path it became. The sacredness of what unfolded. The ways we returned to love, to presence, to one another, again and again.

What a gift to witness. What a gift to live.

Honored to share this work...and to receive it.

Love you all and deeply look forward to the next journey together.

Love and Blessings,
Courtney

Facilitation is a skillset. Not just a lived experience.

In the coaching, healing, and retreat spaces, there is often an unspoken assumption: If you’ve been through trauma, you can hold trauma work. If you’ve experienced healing, you can guide others through theirs.

And while lived experience matters deeply… it is not the whole picture.

Because trauma is nuanced. Healing is complex. And holding transformational spaces requires more than good intentions.

It requires training. Discernment. Responsibility. Capacity. A willingness to keep learning.

This work asks us to know how to navigate what happens when real humans bring real wounds, real nervous systems, real triggers, and real stories into the room.

It asks us to know how to respond when something unexpected happens. How to repair when needed. How to lead with integrity instead of ego. How to prioritize safety over performance.

This is something we care deeply about inside Wholesome Alchemy.

We do deep work in these spaces. And with deep work can come big emotions, trauma responses, rupture, tenderness, breakthroughs, and change.

That is why I believe facilitation should be treated as a sacred responsibility. Not something assumed. Not something bypassed. Not something entered into casually.

I am devoted to being a leader who continues to learn. A facilitator who takes ownership. A space holder who does not hide behind perfection, but values humility, repair, and growth.

Because ethical leadership is not about always getting it right. It’s about being willing to meet what arises with presence, responsibility, and care.

This is the standard I hold myself to. And this is the standard I believe this industry needs more of.

We would be honored to share our facilitator training with you, June 21st-28th, in Koh Phangan Thailand.

Join me, Courtney, for a hands-on workshop where we’ll create organic, natural body care products and reconnect with a more intentional way of caring for ourselves.

This offering was inspired by my own healing journey, from navigating a persistent facial rash that led me into natural skincare and Ayurveda, to deepening that devotion during my cancer journey. What we put on our bodies matters. In this workshop, we return to simple, nourishing, plant-based care made with awareness and intention.

Natural body care became deeply important to me through lived experience.

Years ago, I experienced a facial rash that lasted for months. I sought support from doctors, dermatologists, and many different approaches, but nothing truly created lasting change. That experience led me into studying skincare more deeply, learning from Ayurveda, and eventually creating my own products. Everything began to shift.

Later, during my cancer journey, this became even more meaningful. I became more intentional than ever about what I was putting in my body and on my body. Body care stopped feeling superficial and became something sacred... a practice of nourishment, discernment, and devotion.

This workshop is an invitation into that same spirit.

Together, we’ll explore simple, natural body care and create products that support your skin and your wellbeing with greater consciousness and care.

Whether you are just beginning or simply wanting to deepen your connection to cleaner, more intentional self-care, this is a space to learn, create, and be nourished.

What You’ll Experience
A grounded introduction to organic and natural body care
Hands-on creation of body care products
Education around ingredients and why what we put on the body matters
A more intentional, empowered relationship with self-care
A nourishing and welcoming space to create in community

This Workshop Is For You If…
You want to be more mindful about what you put on your skin
You’re curious about natural, organic body care
You love herbal, holistic, or Ayurvedic approaches
You want self-care to feel more intentional and less commercial
You’re craving a hands-on, meaningful experience

Date & Time: June 13th, 2:00-4:30pm
Location: WA Studio: 1045 9th Ave N
Price: $111 per person

332.

That’s the number of people who have taken a transformational journey with Wholesome Alchemy.

Not our online programs. Not the sacred circles, the trainings, the yoga teacher programs, the workshops, the temple visits. Just the retreats. Just the journeys. 🥹

Yesterday I spent the day building a master list....putting everyone in one place for the first time. And I won’t lie, it got me.

As I typed each name, I paused. I remembered them. I remembered the journey we had together. So many returning faces over the years and honestly, that makes me even prouder than the number itself.

That this many people have trusted me… and that so many keep saying yes, again and again.

Numbers don’t lie.

I’ve poured everything into these spaces.... my master’s in teaching and education, years of study with teachers all over the world, and all of my lived experience.

Watching this list take shape just cracked my heart wide open.

It is such an honor to hold deep, sacred space for people.

Over the last few years I’ve slowly taken on consulting work... supporting others in birthing their own retreats, workshops, and trainings into the world.

And after enough requests (you know how I am...ask me enough times and the answer becomes yes 😄), I’m finally doing a training.

This June in Thailand, I’m leading an 8-day immersive for facilitators who want to sharpen their ability to guide others through real transformational work. Not just crack people open but guide them through it and back home to themselves.

I won’t pretend I’m not nervous. This one feels big. And deeply important, not just for those who step in to learn, but for everyone they’ll go on to serve.

If that’s calling you, I would be so honored to have you join me. 🙏🏼

And if you’re just feeling called to dip a toe in first.... I’d love to see you at the Wholesome Alchemy Temple for a small intimate local gathering.

Either way… 332. 🥹🫶🏼💗✨

Thank you to every single one of you who trusted me in this way.
-Courtney

They came as students. They left as teachers. And somewhere in between, they became family.

A few spaces still open for our next journey.

There's a moment in the training when it stops feeling like a course and starts feeling like a calling. We honor that with ceremony, with flowers, with stillness.

This is the part nobody warns you about.... how much you'll love it.
