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 we find ourselves speaking from old fears, familiar expectations, or beliefs we've carried for so long that we no longer stop to ask whether they are truly ours?
We may become very good at caring for others and responding to the world around us, while the deeper voice of our own heart grows quieter.
But that voice is still there.
What might change for you 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 master storyteller Dr. Joel Ying for three days of coming home to yourself, where you can:
Release old patterns and fears that may be holding you back.
Relearn how to listen to the wisdom of your heart.
Rediscover the freedom and joy of expressing who you truly are.
A Time to Come Home to Yourself
The turning of the year invites us to pause, reflect on what we're ready to release, and listen to what is longing to emerge in the year ahead.
This year, we'll explore the power of our authentic voice and what happens when we begin to speak and act from a deeper connection with our hearts.
As part of the Healing from the Core philosophy, Suzanne has long taught that when your heart is open and full your true voice naturally emerges. When we are fully present within ourselves, we can begin to recognize what is truly ours to express, rather than simply repeating old beliefs or speaking from fear.
And expression isn't always about speaking louder or saying more. Sometimes it means finding the courage to speak our truth, knowing when to remain silent, or allowing our choices and actions to reflect what matters most.
What would it feel like to move through the coming year with greater freedom to express who you truly are?
Make Your Life a Prayer
Giving Voice to Your Deepest Soul Longings
One of the most meaningful and intentional practices of the Release & Renewal online retreat is creating your own personal prayer and invocation for the year ahead.
Through reflection and deep body awareness, you'll have the opportunity to listen for what your soul is longing to express.
What are you grateful for?
What feeds your spirit and helps you grow?
What are you ready to release, and what do you want to welcome into your life?

Drawing upon the Six Wisdom Areas of the body, Suzanne and Joel will help you listen more deeply to your body's signals, recognize what feels true for you, and gain greater clarity about what matters most to you.
From there, you'll find your own words for a personal prayer and invocation that reflects your Soul’s intentions and how you want to live in the coming year.
Over these three days, Suzanne and Joel invite you to explore what it means to make your life a prayer, allowing the intentions you put into words to guide your choices, actions, and the way you live.

Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for anyone ready for a new chapter — to release old patterns, restore balance, and live with greater direction and authenticity.
It’s for those who want to feel connected again: to themselves, to others, and to something larger than daily life.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to begin the year, Release & Renewal 2027 offers a place to listen, heal, and step forward with intention.
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.
