THE ROSE — Full Day Immersive RetreatSaturday

There is an energy that has been showing up across cultures, continents, and centuries under different names. The Guadalupe. Our Lady of Fatima. The Black Madonna. The Pietà. Mary, mother of Jesus, yes, but also something older and wider than any single religion. A feminine force associated with compassion, intercession, and the particular kind of grace that doesn't require you to earn it first.

This is not a theology class and it is not a Catholic retreat. You don't have to be religious to feel something when you look at her image or say her name. A lot of people who wouldn't describe themselves as believers find that she meets them anyway. The ones who grew up in the church and left it often find her the last thing they can still hold. The ones who never had a relationship with her at all sometimes find that surprising.

We spend the afternoon sitting with that energy deliberately. We look at who she is across traditions, what she carries in each of her forms and why those forms keep showing up regardless of geography or century. We work with the rose, her oldest and most consistent symbol, and we end by making your own rosary beads and learning to use them as a contemplative tool, a way of holding intention that belongs entirely to you outside of anyone else's rules about how it's supposed to work.

The central practice of the day is the petition letter. You write her a letter asking for a rose, not a metaphorical one, an actual one in whatever form she chooses to send it. You write what you actually want and what you are actually carrying and you ask plainly. Then you fold it and release it and you go home still watching. That part doesn't end when the day does. Some people get their rose the next morning. Some get it three weeks later in a way that stops them cold. Either way you'll know it when it comes and that's part of what makes this one of my favorite things I offer.

There are short meditations, somatic practices to take home, crafts (including gemstone beads and all components for making your personal rosary), good conversation, and a lot of room for people who feel aligned with the energy of Mary inside or outside any religion.

ALL are welcome.

All supplies included. Bring a notebook, a pen, water, and a yoga mat if you have one, but mats available if you don't.

Cost is $250 (Included in the Tier 3 and Summer Access Class Passes)

SPIRIT ANIMALS FOR KIDS — JULY

A story, a short imagination adventure, and something to make and take home. This month we're spending time with the deer, quiet, gentle, and paying attention to everything. We talk about what deer notice that other animals miss and what it feels like to move through the world that softly. Every kid leaves with a painted deer track tile they pressed themselves.

For kids in Kindergarten through third grade. All supplies included.

$35 · Saturday mornings · 11:00am – 12:00pm

Illuminated Words: Intuitive Writing as Sacred Practice

A Monthly Gathering

Illuminated Words is an invitation to open your intuitive channel and allow the deeper wisdom within you to speak through the written word. For centuries, mystics, poets, and seekers have turned to writing as a bridge between the seen and unseen — a way of giving form to divine guidance, inner knowing, and soul truth. This gathering brings that ancient practice into a modern, grounded context, helping you trust your inner voice and develop a living relationship with intuition through writing.

Originally offered as a four-part immersive series, Illuminated Words is now evolving into a monthly, pay-per-session experience. This shift was made intentionally — to make the work more accessible, flexible, and welcoming for those who felt called but found the original cost or scheduling commitment difficult. While the format has opened, the heart of the work remains unchanged.

Each gathering stands on its own while also weaving into a larger, ongoing journey. You may attend one session, return month after month, or step in and out as life allows — trusting that each circle will meet you exactly where you are.

What to Expect

Each monthly session offers a complete and intentional experience, blending guided meditation, gentle ritual, and intuitive writing practice. Together, we create a quiet, grounded space where the mind softens, the nervous system settles, and intuitive awareness can rise naturally to the surface.

Over time, participants often experience a deepening sense of clarity, trust, and confidence in their own inner guidance. This is not about “channeling” in a performative way, but about learning how intuition actually speaks — through symbols, sensation, imagery, memory, and subtle knowing — and how to listen with discernment and compassion.

Through regular participation, you will begin to:

• Establish a sacred writing practice that supports spiritual connection and insight

• Enter a meditative state where intuitive information flows with ease

• Recognize and interpret symbols, sensations, and imagery as meaningful guidance

• Distinguish between intuition, imagination, and emotional memory

• Receive insight for yourself — and potentially for others — in an ethical, grounded way

• Integrate intuitive awareness into everyday life as a source of peace and direction

This work is cumulative by nature, but never exclusive. Each session is complete in itself while gently building upon shared themes of listening, trust, and illumination.

The Flow of the Work

While themes will naturally evolve over the months, the original arc of Illuminated Words remains intact — opening the channel, learning the language of intuition, engaging in sacred dialogue, and bringing intuitive wisdom into daily life. Rather than moving through these ideas in a fixed sequence, we now allow them to unfold organically, revisiting and deepening them as the group evolves.

PASSAGES: IDEAS WORTH AN HOUR

The first Saturday of every month the coffee is on and there's something good to eat and we read together. The week before, I send you a short reading, usually six to ten pages from a book that has something real to say, along with a few questions worth sitting with ahead of time. You can read it before you come and arrive with thoughts, or you can come cold and we'll find our way into it together in the room. Either way works fine. At the end of the session you'll get a list of books and resources if the topic grabbed you and you want to go further.

The conversations that happen in this class tend to go places that surprise people. Partly because the material is genuinely worth arguing about and partly because a Saturday morning with good coffee and something worth thinking hard about is one of the better ways I know to spend an hour. No background in spirituality, philosophy, or anything else required. Skeptics always welcome, especially here.

Cost: $25 (Included in all Class Passes)

And there will always be coffee and morning snacks! :-)

JUNE: The Architecture of Belief

This month we're reading excerpts from Neville Goddard's "The Law and the Promise," a book from 1961 that makes a claim so radical about the relationship between consciousness and reality that most people either dismiss it in the first ten pages or find themselves thinking about it for the next ten years. To balance it out we're also reading two pages from William James, the Harvard philosopher and father of American psychology, who was wrestling with a related question from a completely different direction around the same time and arrived somewhere surprisingly close.

The conversation is about what belief actually does. Whether it changes things outside of us or only inside of us, and whether that distinction matters as much as we think. Reading sent the week before. Bring your skepticism if you have it. There's room for it.

JULY: The Mechanics of Manifestation

Joseph Murphy's "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" was published in 1963 and has sold over ten million copies, which tells you something, though I'm not entirely sure what. It's also the book that tends to get dismissed fastest by people who haven't read it and taken most seriously by people who have actually tried what it describes. We're reading the chapter on how the subconscious processes what you feed it, which is the part that tends to make people quietly uncomfortable in ways they find useful.

We're also reading two pages from Florence Scovel Shinn's "The Game of Life and How to Play It," written in 1925 by a woman who had absolutely no patience for hedging, and it shows in every sentence. The conversation this month is partly about whether any of this holds up and partly about the more uncomfortable question of what you'd actually have to change if you took it seriously for thirty days. Reading sent the week before.

AUGUST: What Happens Next

Michael Newton spent forty years as a hypnotherapist, started his career as a committed skeptic, and ended up documenting what thousands of clients described experiencing between lives under deep hypnosis. The cases are specific enough, and consistent enough across people who had never met each other, that his own discomfort with what he was finding comes through in the writing, which is part of why the books are worth reading. We're also looking at two pages from Raymond Moody's "Life After Life," the book that introduced the term near death experience in 1975 and started a research conversation that is still very much active.

The discussion this month is about what we actually believe happens when we die, where those beliefs came from, and what it would mean for the life you're living right now if the picture turns out to be different from what you were handed. Reading sent the week before. This session runs the same month as the Past Life Regression class, which is not an accident.

SPIRIT ANIMALS

There are animals that keep showing up. In dreams, on walks, in the corner of your eye, in the stories people have been telling about them for thousands of years including the Lenape people who lived on this exact land. There's a reason certain animals find certain people.

Together, we look at animals that show up for us, what energy they carry, what they've meant across traditions, and what they might be asking of you specifically. We then make a small personal totem to take home as a tool for working with our spirit animals and connecting to others. All supplies included.

Come open to being surprised by which animal claims you. It's rarely the one people expect.

Offered a few times a year ·

Cost is $30 (Included in all Class Passes)

THE PRACTICAL MYSTIC

Once a month on a Tuesday evening we examine one concept from the mystical traditions. Where it came from, what it does, and how to work with it in everyday life. You’ll learn about the topic from the perspective of the sages and the mystics throughout history and discover some ways each can help illuminate the possibilities in your life.

Cost: $25 (Included in all Class Passes) · First Tuesdays · 6:30 – 8:00pm

JUNE 3: Time

The mystical traditions have always understood time differently than the clock on your phone does. Cyclical rather than linear. Layered. Alive in a way that means certain moments carry more weight than others and certain windows are genuinely better for certain things. This month we work with that understanding practically, how to read where you are in a cycle, how to work with timing rather than against it, and what changes when you start relating to time as something you're in conversation with rather than something running out.

JULY 1: Threshold Spaces

Doorways, crossroads, the space between sleeping and waking, the moment before a decision lands. Every tradition that has ever existed has had specific practices for the in-between places because something is available there that isn't available anywhere else. This month we work with what that is and how to use it, how to recognize a threshold when you're standing in one and what to do with the particular kind of clarity that tends to show up there.

AUGUST 5: Dreamwork

You've been having dreams your whole life. This month we do something with them. We work with dream incubation, how to ask a question before you sleep and set up the conditions to receive something back, and how to build a personal symbol vocabulary from your own dream history. Bring a dream if you have one you've been sitting with.

HELD: An Evening for Couples with Kelly Forté & Bill Childs

When was the last time you and your partner made something together that had nothing to do with a decision, a schedule, or figuring out what to have for dinner?

Not a date night where you sit across from each other and do the same conversation you always do, but something where you actually get to use your hands and get a little bit lost in creativity and get to see what comes out on the other side.

HELD is an evening of intuitive painting and conversation for couples, guided by fine artist Kelly Forté and creative director Bill Childs. Over the course of the night, Kelly walks you through each of the seven energy centers in the body, and for each one you paint whatever comes up on your own canvas while Bill guides the dialogue between you and your partner. You don't need to know how to paint and you don't need to know anything about chakras or energy work. You just need to be willing to pick up a brush and be a little surprised by what happens.

You go home with two paintings and whatever opened up between you while you were making them.

Goes perfect with a bottle of wine and some light snacks (bring what feels good for you!).

$175 per couple. Limited to six couples per evening.

Kallari is a Kichwa word from the indigenous peoples of Ecuador. It means the beginning, the first opening, the moment before something new is possible. You cannot arrive at kallari without shedding what came before it.

This ceremony is built around that threshold. This is a ceremony for people who know something needs to go. Who have understood that for a while, actually, and just haven't found the right room for it yet.

Through ceremonial cacao, breathwork, and Andean ritual, you are guided through a deliberate release: the version of yourself that was shaped by other people's expectations, by old survival strategies that no longer fit, by the weight of carrying things that were never yours to carry in the first place. The shedding is the point. Not as metaphor. As something that actually happens in the body when you give it the right conditions and the right company.

The cacao Jessie uses is a plant medicine, treated as such in Amazonian and Andean traditions for thousands of years. It works directly with the heart, gently expanding what has been contracted, surfacing what has been sitting underneath. Paired with Icaros, sacred healing songs from the Amazonian tradition, and guided inner journeying, it creates an environment where the body can release what the mind has been managing around for years. Some people experience emotion rising unexpectedly. Some feel a physical shift, warmth or pressure or something loosening. Some leave simply lighter than they arrived, without being fully able to explain why.

Jessie Miño is the founder of Good Vibes Wellness. Her lineage traces back to the indigenous Amazonian and Andean people of Ecuador, and that heritage is not decorative background in her work. It is the work. The ancestral traditions, ceremonial practices, and relationship to the land that were passed through her family are what she brings into the room. She came to this work through her own hard passage: grief, generational trauma, the weight of carrying pain that her thinking mind had already decided was handled. Her ceremonies are quiet and intimate. She is not trying to impress anyone. She is trying to help people put something down.

No prior experience with breathwork or ceremony is needed.

$60 · Space is limited.

We all have moments where we give away our power.
We overextend. We overexplain. We let people cross lines we know should be protected.

Sometimes we do not even realize it is happening until afterward.

Boundary Bracelets is a creative and empowering workshop focused on helping you reclaim your energetic space in a grounded, compassionate, and practical way.

During our time together, we will talk openly about boundaries. We will explore where your personal boundary pain points live, the situations that challenge you most, and the patterns that make it difficult to hold your ground without guilt, conflict, or emotional fallout.

From there, we shift into the energetic layer of the conversation.

We will explore the nature of energy itself. How frequency, vibration, and intention shape the way we show up. How the unseen communicates just as loudly as words. And how we can work with supportive energetic tools to reinforce our boundaries without needing to defend, explain, or harden ourselves.

Each participant will create three different gemstone bracelets, each designed for a specific boundary situation in their life.

You may choose to focus on areas such as:

• Emotional boundaries
• Family dynamics
• Workplace interactions
• Romantic relationships
• Energy protection in public spaces

We will fuse each bracelet with intention and energetic activation, learning how to wear and work with them as supportive tools. Think of them as loving shields. Protective, but never aggressive. Empowered, but never hardened.

No hurt feelings required.

This is about holding yourself with clarity, compassion, and strength.

Bracelet Blessing Tray

As part of this workshop, you will also create your own Bracelet Blessing Tray.

This tray can be used at home to design additional bracelets, cleanse jewelry, set intentions, and energetically activate pieces to work in support of you.

It becomes a personal ritual space. A place where the jewelry you wear is not just decorative, but consciously aligned with your needs, your growth, and your protection.

Cost including all materials: $75

BYOB welcome. Light snacks encouraged. All materials included.

What You Will Create and Receive

• Three gemstone boundary bracelets
• Instruction on gemstone energetics and intention setting
• Guided boundary reflection exercises
• Energetic activation and blessing process
• Bracelet Blessing Tray to take home
• Tools for continuing the practice on your own

No experience necessary. Come as you are.

Create - Align - Awaken

Join us at Creative Spirit for an evening of creativity, connection, and energetic alignment as we craft our own chakra-based gemstone malas. These are beautiful, functional pieces of jewelry designed to support meditation, intention setting, and personal ritual.

In this hands-on workshop, you will design and create a 108-bead gemstone mala using stones intentionally chosen to align with the seven chakras. As we bead, knot, and assemble our malas using a blend of traditional techniques and accessible modern adaptations, we will also explore the deeper energetic framework behind the practice.

Together we will talk about:

• The 7 chakra system and what each energy center represents
• How imbalances can show up emotionally, physically, and energetically
• Ways to intentionally work with each chakra in daily life
• How to use a mala for meditation, mantra, breathwork, or grounding practices
• Creating simple personal rituals using your mala at home

This workshop is designed to be both educational and experiential. Creativity becomes the doorway into intuition. Many participants notice that the stones they feel drawn to, the patterns they create, and the intentions they set become meaningful reflections of their inner world.

You will leave not only with new knowledge and practices, but with a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece of sacred jewelry that you created yourself. It is something you can wear, meditate with, or keep on your altar as a daily energetic anchor.

Meditations on Death and Dying

Explorations and Discussions

Meditations on Death and Dying is a monthly series of explorations and discussions devoted to honest, thoughtful engagement with death, dying, and grief as essential parts of the human experience. Meeting on the last Saturday of each month, this series offers a welcoming, reflective space to approach mortality not as something morbid or distant, but as something we live alongside every day.

Each gathering features a guest with a unique relationship to death through lived experience, professional work, spiritual inquiry, or philosophical reflection. Together, we explore the physical, emotional, spiritual, metaphysical, and philosophical dimensions of death, as well as the quieter ways loss shapes our lives, relationships, and communities.

Rather than offering doctrine or conclusions, Meditations on Death and Dying invites shared inquiry. These explorations ask questions such as: How do we live with both the dead and the dying? How do we make space for grief in a culture that often rushes past it? What becomes possible when we stop turning away from mortality and allow it to inform how we live?

Inaugural Gathering

The first gathering in this series opens with the theme of living with both the dead and the dying, guided by a guest whose life and work place him in daily relationship with mortality. Our inaugural guest is a funeral director, Marine, and war veteran, offering a deeply grounded perspective shaped by both service and loss.

Through his work as a funeral director, he is regularly confronted with the fundamental reality of human existence: that we move from spirited, living beings into organic matter that eventually returns to the earth. Alongside this physical truth, he also bears witness to the emotional realities of death, particularly the experiences of those left behind and the ways our culture makes space, or fails to make space, for grief.

This first exploration moves between the natural, practical, philosophical, and even supernatural, honoring both the tangible realities of the body and the invisible forces of grief, memory, and meaning. While the conversation may be intimate, honest, and at times raw, it is guided by compassion and care. The intention is not to sensationalize death, but to create a more loving and accessible way of relating to death as a fact of life and to grief as an ever-present, often unseen force many of us are carrying.

This gathering is free and open to all.
Space is limited, and RSVP is requested to ensure adequate seating.

Whether you are actively grieving, quietly curious, philosophically inclined, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with life, you are warmly welcome.

Advance registration is recommended, as space remains intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy and depth of the experience.

Closing Thought

When we learn to listen with the soul and let words rise from that quiet inner place, writing becomes more than a practice. It becomes a relationship — a way of remembering that wisdom is already within us, waiting patiently to be heard.

If you have any questions about whether this experience is right for you, please feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to talk it through.

As we approach the longest night of the year, we enter a season of deep clarity. In both Amazonian and Andean traditions, the days before solstice are a time of soft unraveling — a final shedding before the return of light.

The Last Unveiling is a 60-minute cacao ceremony designed to support this descent. Through ceremonial cacao, rhythmic breathwork, and an ancestral guided journey, we’ll explore what is ready to be released before the new cycle begins.

Together, we’ll soften into the body, listen to the wisdom that rises in stillness, and meet the deeper truth that wants to be revealed. Jaguar medicine will accompany us — helping us see with instinct, courage, and honesty — while the Icaros create a soundscape that opens the inner world.

This ceremony is gentle, heart-centered, and accessible to all. No experience with cacao or breathwork is needed — only a willingness to arrive as you are.

Come with an open heart, leave with clarity. Come with questions, leave with truth.

What Will Be Provided:

Ceremonial grade cacao (warm beverage)

Some pillows will be available

A yoga mat

A blanket (Please also bring something to keep warm hoodie, sweater, etc.)

Some eye masks

What to Bring:

An open heart

Water

A journal and pen

What to Wear:

Come as comfy as you’d like — think cozy, breathable layers you can relax and journey in

Gentle Reminders:

Ceremonial cacao is gentle, but it is still a heart-opening plant medicine that our ancestors treated with deep respect.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on SSRIs or other antidepressants, have high blood pressure, a heart condition, or are highly sensitive to stimulants, please consume a smaller amount of cacao or choose to sit with the ceremony without drinking.

Cacao increases blood flow and gently stimulates the cardiovascular system, so listening to your body is essential. If you’re unsure, you’re always welcome to ask me before we begin.

Preparation + Aftercare:

1. “How to Prepare for Ceremony”

A simple list to help you arrive grounded, open, and attuned.

2.“Navigating Sadness or Emotional Waves After Ceremony”

A gentle resource, especially because cacao and breathwork can stir memories, tenderness, or release.

Everything that rises does so for a reason — and you won’t be alone in that process.

If you have any questions or would like to chat prior to deciding on attending, send a DM on Instagram or you can email: info@goodvibes-wellness.com.

Awakening the Inner Sun: A Cacao Journey of Vision and Renewal

As the year turns inward, this cacao experience invites you to reconnect with the radiant force that lives within — your inner sun.

Guided through breath, sound, and intuitive journeying, you’ll gather the wisdom of the darker seasons and transmute it into light. Together, we awaken clarity, purpose, and creative vitality — not by reaching outward, but by remembering the fire that already burns inside.

This is a return to your own rhythm. A ceremony of warmth, vision, and renewal — guided by the gentle spirit of cacao.

Here are a few gentle reminders before joining the upcoming ceremony. 

✨ Echoes of the Soul: A Guided Past Life Regression Experience

Date: Thursday, November 20 at 7:00 PM
Duration: 2 hours
Facilitator: Marisa McFadden
Location: Creative Spirit Easton, 131 N 3rd Street, Easton, PA
Investment: $60 per person

🕊️ Event Overview

There are moments in life when we feel something we can’t quite explain- a strong connection to a person, a place, or a fear that seems to come from nowhere. Echoes of the Soul offers a safe, therapeutic space to explore these subtle resonances through the process of Past Life Regression- not as a test of belief, but as an opportunity for insight and healing.

You don’t need to believe in reincarnation to benefit from this experience. When we enter a deeply relaxed, meditative state and suspend disbelief, the subconscious often reveals stories, images, and sensations that hold symbolic meaning for the present moment. What surfaces might be memory, metaphor, or imagination, but all of it belongs to the language of the soul.

This guided two-hour experience is designed to help you:
✨ Recognize the roots of recurring fears or emotional patterns
✨ Identify strengths, gifts, or qualities that have always lived within you
✨ Understand relationship or life themes that feel mysteriously familiar
✨ Experience a sense of peace, release, and deeper self-understanding

🌿 What to Expect

Opening & Orientation (20 minutes)
We begin with gentle breathwork, an overview of the process, and an invitation to relax expectations. This time sets the tone for safety, curiosity, and inner exploration.

Guided Regression (45–50 minutes)
You’ll be led through a calming visualization that opens a pathway to the subconscious. In this state, images, sensations, or “memories” may arise; fragments that carry meaning for the here and now.

Integration Circle (30 minutes)
After the regression, we return slowly and spend time journaling, sharing (if you wish), and reflecting over warm, grounding tea. This allows your conscious mind to integrate what was experienced, gently anchoring insight into awareness.

Closing & Grounding (15–20 minutes)
We’ll end with a collective grounding meditation and closing intention, leaving you centered, peaceful, and clear.

🍵 Included Take-Home Reflection Kit

Each participant will receive a small Echoes of the Soul Reflection Kit to support integration throughout the week:

• Guided Reflection Journal – prompts and grounding practices to revisit what arose during your session.

• Grounding Tea Sachet – a soothing herbal blend (rooibos, chamomile, cinnamon, and lemon balm) to enjoy as you reflect.

• Grounding Stone – a small crystal (smoky quartz, hematite, or black tourmaline) to carry as a reminder to return to the present moment whenever you need balance.

💫 Additional Details

• Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a journal if you wish to add personal notes.

• Space is limited to 10 participants to ensure an intimate and restorative experience.

• Arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in; doors close promptly at 7 PM.

🌟 Season of Light: Sip & Shop Fundraiser

Thursday, November 14 • 5–9 PM
Creative Spirit Easton | 131 N 3rd Street, Easton, PA
Free to attend

Join us for an unforgettable evening of light, laughter, and mindful giving as Creative Spirit Easton hosts Season of Light: Sip & Shop, a one-night holiday celebration benefitting The Shanthi Project — one of the Lehigh Valley’s most impactful nonprofits.

This isn’t your typical shopping night — it’s a destination experience.
✨ Sip on signature seasonal cocktails like bourbon tastings, warm ciders, and spiced sangria.
✨ Enjoy artisanal snacks, cozy lounge areas, and the glow of a festive, candle-lit atmosphere.
✨ Discover raffles, giveaways, and complimentary mini-experiences such as sound bed sessions and crystal readings.
✨ Shop our curated collection of high-quality, consciously crafted gifts — jewelry, candles, books, and more — knowing that 20% of all sales (in-store and online) will be donated directly to The Shanthi Project.

💖 Why It Matters

The Shanthi Project provides trauma-informed mindfulness education to thousands of children and adults throughout the Lehigh Valley each year. Their evidence-based programs teach calm, focus, and emotional regulation — tools that build healthier classrooms, families, and communities.

At Creative Spirit, we’ve seen the difference Shanthi makes firsthand. Our founder, Marisa McFadden, was so inspired by their work that she joined Shanthi as an instructor — and is now using her business as a way to give back. Season of Light is our way of saying thank you: proof that when local businesses and nonprofits come together, our whole community shines brighter.

✨ Come for the cocktails, stay for the community — and leave knowing you’ve helped make the Lehigh Valley a little lighter.
