Empath Connection LIVE

Transformation & Joy in one of the most powerful places on Earth....

I am so eager to welcome you home to Sedona, Arizona for our amazing gathering and retreat.

Sedona is considered one of the most sacred places on Earth - similar in its power to The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, Machu Picchu in Peru, Mt. Shasta in California, and Stonehenge in England.  Sedona actually helps to balance the energy grid of the entire planet.

Since ancient times, people have embarked on pilgrimages to Sedona to reclaim energy, gain insights and connect to something deeper within themselves.

Sedona contains a high number of vortexes or centers where the “life force” of the Earth is gathered into funnels of energy.  

The effect of this powerful energy of Sedona?  It can help you positively heal by confronting you with your emotions and helping bring you into awareness of your True, Divine Self.  And Sedona is an AMPLIFIER.  Every intention you put into the Universe is made manifest more quickly through accessing the sacred Earth energy of Mother Earth's heartbeat.

And.....the Peace energy on the land is unlike any other.  

So get ready for a whole lot of fun, joy, tears, laughter, and transformation. . . and most of all, Connection - to your Divinity, and in community to each other.

Plus, I will be doing live mediumship readings where you will hear directly loving messages from your loved ones & ancestors.

"Tears became laughter, releasing became freedom, blurred Channels became clear, strangers became lifelong friends. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
This experience helped each of us to become more "Whole".  Michael is the embodiment of a Lightworker and listened deeply with all 6 senses to each group member whilst simultaneously channeling from the Divine. There was no doubt that you can comfortably share "anything" about yourself and have him hold space for you with unconditional love and acceptance. He was also able to be vulnerable about his own feelings and struggles. He is fun and funny and he received occasionally comical messages directly from the Divine and shared them for us all to enjoy. His mission is clear and abundant; to help heal the world, one person, one group at a time by bringing together empaths, highly sensitive people and Lightworkers to open further to our inherent Divine Gifts." - Judy Johnson, speaking on the 2023 retreat.

"Michael, as I am sitting here this morning ready to depart, I have so much gratitude and emotion overcoming me, I need to let you know how much I am thankful. Giving us a safe space to be ourselves, to learn, to heal and transform is what makes what you accomplished and what we all accomplished this weekend so magical. I never had such a truly spiritual experience."
- Janine
"Tears became laughter, weakness became strength, releasing became freedom, blurred Channels became clear, strangers became lifelong friends. I would do it again in a heartbeat. This experience helped each of us to become more "Whole" as many of us were fragmented from the every day vicissitudes of life.  Michael is the embodiment of a Lightworker and an "Angel" in a human body! He is so obviously tuned in to the Divine at all times. He listened deeply with all 6 senses to each group member whilst simultaneously channeling from the Divine. That was a wonder to behold for me and I believe for all of us! There was no doubt that you can comfortably share "anything" about yourself and have him hold space for you with unconditional love and acceptance." - JUDY JOHNSON
"This retreat was a Godsent and a breath of fresh air. I am so thankful for my ability to listen to my higher self and obey what my soul needed. I walked into this retreat confused seeking answers and walked out reborn and excited OWNING all the parts of me to attract love, peace, abundance, and live a life of flow and happiness. Take the leap you will not regret it!"  
- Warren Augustin, Texas
"The Sedona Retreat was transformative and unlike anything I have ever experienced before. It was a culmination of true human interaction, time and space with my higher self and with that of others. Exposure to traditional practices that I would've never had the opportunity to witness or participate in; they were full circle moments where I felt connected to ancestors and generations before me. A peace with what was, a removal of expectation and fear for what may be, and an openness and space to just be right now. We each walked through fears, sat in the space of grief, danced, cried in pain and in joy. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat."  
- Thomas G.
"Michael has created a safe space for sensitive people to gather and learn to work with their gifts in a non-overwhelming, hands-on way that is unique in my experience. Learning to be vulnerable and to connect with other people in that vulnerability is a powerful thing and difficult when one is so sensitive to energy from others. In my opinion, unravelling established patterns of distrust and overwhelm is the first, very important step to learning to work with the empath gifts and this retreat really went a long way to that end."
- Beth R.
"I am still in awe and gratitude for the incredible weekend and the energy your poured into us. Love and transformation was abound. It continues to ripple. You have taught and reminded me to take pause. I am grateful for you and thank you for the blessings you bestowed on our entire group." 
- Jennifer
