What Is Your Soul Longing to Express?
There is a voice within you that carries your deepest wisdom, your longings, and the truth of
who you are. Yet how often do old fears, familiar expectations, and the demands of everyday life
keep us from listening to that voice?
What might change if you could give voice to what truly matters to you and allow that
knowing to guide how you live?
Join Suzanne Scurlock, CST-D, and Dr. Joel Ying, MD, for three days of reflection,
connection, and renewal as you:
Release old patterns and fears that may be holding you back.
Reconnect with the wisdom of your body and heart.
Rediscover the freedom and joy of expressing who you truly are.
Create a personal prayer and invocation to guide your intentions and choices throughout
the year.
Make Your Life a Prayer: Through guided reflection and body awareness,
Suzanne and Joel will help you listen for your deepest soul longings and
give them voice through a personal prayer and invocation for the coming
year.
Register by 12/7/2026* to receive a complimentary copy of Suzanne's journal, Awakening to Your Body's Wisdom: A Journal with Inspirational Quotes for Transformation, to support your reflections and discoveries throughout the year. (*Offer open to US and Canada residents only)
Begin the New Year With an Open Heart and
a Voice That Is Truly Yours

Suzanne’s Story: From Invocation to Love
A few years ago, during our own Release & Renewal practice, Suzanne wrote an invocation to call in a loving partner — something she had longed for but never fully voiced.
She took the time to clarify the words until they felt true and simple, then released them on January 7, 2024. Five days later, she met the man who is now her husband.
That experience reminded us that an invocation isn’t just a wish. It’s a moment of alignment — when what we hold inside meets action in the world. Over time, that invocation grew into a mission: to live and love from wholeness and authenticity.
We share this story because it captures the heart of this retreat. When we get clear about our longing, give it voice, and live from that clarity, life begins to meet us halfway.
This year, we invite you to listen for your own next step — to discover the mission that’s ready to come alive through you.
BONUS GIFT*
The first 30 people who sign up by November 22nd will receive a FREE copy of my journal:
Awakening To Your Body’s Wisdom:
A Journal with Inspirational Quotes for Transformation
(Note: This journal offer applies to US and Canadian residents only.)
We recommend signing up early so you can receive your journal in time for the retreat.
What We’ll Explore Together
Over three days, we’ll open the tool chest of practices that support real transformation — simple, time-tested techniques that help you listen more deeply and align with what you’re truly ready to manifest in your life.
Together, we’ll:
Release limiting beliefs and old patterns, expectations, and stories that are holding you back.
Mine the depths of your heart and soul to discover your longing for the coming year and beyond.
Clarify your personal mission — the deeper “why” that connects your gifts to the world around you.
Help you put that longing into words–a mission, a prayer, and an invocation to guide you forward.
Align your mission with the six wisdom areas of the body, grounding your purpose in presence, intuition, and clear action.
Reflect on your vision, your gifts, and the small, steady steps that bring them to life.
We’ll also guide you in creating a personalized blessing — one filled with your deepest hope and love — to carry with you into the new year as a sacred reminder of your path.
Throughout the retreat, we’ll be in community with a supportive circle of kindred spirits – with space to rest, to laugh, to be yourself, and to rediscover what helps you feel most alive.
Come replenish your spirit, realign with what matters most, and emerge feeling inspired, renewed, and supported.
Your sacred mission awaits.

FAQ
Q: How much does Release & Renewal cost?
The registration fee is $397. If you register by December 1 using the code RR100 you will save $100 making the total only $297. Plus, if you are a US or Canadian resident, you have the chance to win a free journal if you are one of the first 30 people to sign up.
Q: Why take it again?
Each year brings a new theme and a new lens through which to see your life. Even if the practices feel familiar, the experience never is — because you’re not the same person you were a year ago.
Many of us return each January to listen again, to mark what’s changed, and to reconnect with community. It’s become a yearly ritual — a chance to realign with purpose, release what’s complete, and step into the new year with fresh energy and insight.
Q: Do I need prior experience?
No. All are welcome. Reading Full Body Presence or Reclaiming Your Body beforehand can deepen your experience but isn’t required.
