Dear Friends,
Mahatma Gandhi was a shy child who hid behind his mother’s sari. In school, young Gandhi was not a standout. His shyness made it difficult for him to engage with others, and he found public speaking terrifying. Every day, he would run home from school as fast as he could and retreat into the comforting confines of his home, fearful of the outside world.Â
What you are most afraid of is where your power lies.Â
When Gandhi was 19, he traveled to London to study law. His journey across the seas became a threshold of transformation. He was openly ridiculed due to his string-bean appearance and deferential nature. He described working intently on mustering up the courage to speak only to find the subject of the conversation had changed course. Still he persevered.
What you most resist is the hidden source of your purpose.Â
During this period of intense shyness, he started reading texts that shaped his purpose. He read the Bhagavad Gita as his spiritual source, while works by Tolstoy and Thoreau deepened his understanding of non-violent resistance. But despite these influences, Gandhi was still uncertain of his path.
What you do not wish to become is what you are meant to be.Â
A pivotal moment occurred in South Africa after Gandhi took up a legal position. While aboard a train, despite his first-class ticket, Gandhi was thrown of because of his skin color, despite holding a first-class ticket. Humiliated and enraged, his voice roared.
What you think you cannot do is your leadership potential.
Gandhi began organizing the Indian community in South Africa, advocating for their rights against oppressive laws. As Gandhi organized strikes and non-violent protests in South Africa, he honed his ability to speak out against injustice. His voice, though soft-spoken, began to carry a moral authority that resonated with people. He encouraged oppressed communities to rise up peacefully, and his message of truth, courage, and non-violence attracted many followers. His public speeches became more confident, and his actions spoke even louder than his words. He inspired people to stand firm in the face of brutality, using love and truth as their weapons.
Like Gandhi, leaning into the hidden code of your soul –the unconscious –is the source of purpose because it contains the secret aspects of your potential and identity. What you most resist is what you are invited to become.Â
But how? You transform personal crisis to unlock the power of your soul's code and manifest your meta-purpose.
I’ve lovingly supported hundreds of participants to work with hidden potential to manifest purpose without harsh methods or forcing something to break open using the GAZE Method. A 47-year-old consultant felt a repair in the estrangement with his father during GAZE, released heavy-handedness, and then started his own business as a result. A 38-year-old teacher sensed a weight of sadness unravel in her in an unordinary state, adopted lightness and ease, and shifted her dread of each school day into anticipation. A 60-year-old executive experienced a detachment in an unordinary state of the need to be the matriarch in her system and no longer felt compelled to host gatherings. A 45-year-old yoga teacher felt a liberation from self-sabotage and low self-esteem during GAZE, which she felt she was born with, and she started to lead her classes from her soul.
In an unordinary state of consciousness induced through GAZE, you transform your wounded healer and unlock your soul’s code, like how the personal crisis of a shy child unlocks the soul to speak up.
Deep work requires setting aside intentional space and time to engage at the unconscious level. This is why a retreat is the right setting for you to reveal what may be hidden in your unconscious as the conduit for meta-purpose and spiritual power. You will uncover the pathway of what you are here to do, how to do it, and why it matters.
Here’s why you need to come. You may know you are here for a purpose in the world at a critical time, but you may not know what it is.
In other words, if your own motivations aren’t enough reason for you, then do it for those you love and for the greater good. You are here at this time and place for a meta-purpose with spiritual power.Â
Are you ready to uncover it?
On the path with you…
Â
Love,
Annie

"I spend the majority of my time focused on my business, my family and my responsibilities as a leader, mother, wife, grandmother and friend. During a retreat with Annie I am present to myself, my spirit and nature. I can quiet my mind and hear my own inner wisdom. Learning through experiential practices in connection with nature has resulted in deep and lasting change in how I show up in the world. I’ve been on retreat with Annie in Ireland, France, Colorado and Virginia and I am always in awe of her beautiful retreat experiences. These retreats are a priority for my growth and nurturing my soul."Â
– GG Johnston
Why GAZE™️ for Purpose
Unlock the power of your soul code by transforming personal crisis into the manifestation of meta-purpose.
Your primary wound appears as a personal crisis and is connected to your meta-purpose. By engaging with wounds of abandonment, rejection, betrayal, neglect, injustice or humiliation in an unordinary state of consciousness, you transmute it into gold –your meta-purpose.Unordinary states transmute primary wounds.
GAZE creates an unordinary state of consciousness for healing potential.
Unordinary states circumvent the mind's usual defenses, which creates 3 powerful changes in the meta-purpose process:
- Unordinary states access subconscious core beliefs, desires, and values. You can recognize what you truly want, separate from expectations or limiting patterns so you are free to follow your own path without fear.
- Unordinary states can provide realizations, messages, or "callings" that feel deeply purposeful so that the pathway forward to pursue a career or follow a cause is clear.Â
- Unordinary states support receiving spiritual guidance in the form of symbol or archetype—figures, places, or scenarios that seem to have universal significance, providing direct messages of purpose.
GAZE is an unordinary state induction method that impacts your physiology so that you are in an expanded state of consciousness state that gives you what you most want –the manifestation of meta-purpose –so that you know why you are here and what you need to do.Â
Â
 Purpose makes a daily difference.
Here's what your life can look like:Â
Meaning Can Make Money.Â
Financial wealth is insufficient for long-term happiness. Purpose creates actions that contribute to something larger than individual success and can impact your bottom line positively.
Purpose Prevents Burnout.
Purpose can act as a buffer against this by fostering motivation and commitment and a feeling of contribution to positive global change, whether through activism, ethical consumption, or work so that become a better person.Â
Resilience Creates Flexibility.
Resilience developed from purpose supports career transitions, helping adapt and find new paths that align with passions and values, so that you can handle uncertainty and change.
"My experience [at the retreat] was eye opening. I met many wonderful, kind and courageous like minded people. You will have to attend to get the full effect of what will transpire for you. It was enlightening! It was mystical!
–N. M.

“Going forward seems like a retreat”
–Lao Tzu
Tom O.
"I have been on a journey to discover my true self. Annie has been instrumental in helping me get to the core of who I am and how I show up in my life. She is not only a gifted transformational leader but also an incredible intuitive guide. She has helped me to understand that I am so much more than just my reflection in the mirror. Through the methods she teaches and the retreats she offers, I have discovered how to be comfortable with who I am and how I show up in all aspects of my life."
Ann S.
"The retreat with Annie was a wonderful way to reconnect with myself. My experience was not the same as the others, but during the experience I was able to connect with myself, my beliefs, and remember a lot of things I had forgotten from life. I met wonderful people, different points of view, and more specially, visit sites that I would have never even known they existed if it wasn’t for this trip. It gave me a reset in my daily routine, and it fed my soul with Annie’s guidance, kindness, and love. I can’t wait for my next retreat to keep on growing not only personally but most importantly, spiritually."
Marty L.
"The quiet and beauty of the venue was a perfect backdrop for a powerful and magical retreat. Annie masterfully wove the magic and history of the area into the experience. The time and space we had each day to learn and reflect – whether alone or connecting with others – was important. The things I learned, and the insights I gained, are still with me. Annie has a special way and is an exceptional teacher. I look forward to the next retreat and to continuing this work."
Why Go the Whole Way to Bali?
Here are your top 5 reasons why to go around the world to unlock your soul code.
- You probably have always wondered about Bali and needed a reason to go. Ever since you watched Eat, Pray, Love, you may have been curious about the intrigue of Bali and yet didn’t know what caused its draw for solid spiritual seekers throughout the ages. Bali is known for it’s powerful and cathartic spiritual center that is said to house the kundalini, or life force energy of the earth. You enter a sacred healing landscape that can directly support your process and journey.Â
- You are ready to get out of your comfort zone. Your ability to perceive meta-purpose is limited by business-as-usual at home and being in a culture that is known and familiar. Think of it like a supercharge of energy that you may not access at home. It can immediately bring forward latent awareness in you because the earth and energy will work directly with you to heal primary wounds, illumine your soul code, and manifest what has been hidden from your awareness.
- You commit big time, which can mean a big breakthrough. This is important. This trip is not for the spiritual seeker who wants to dip their toes in the water. This trip requires spiritual, physical, financial, and emotional intention that correlates with what you will get out of it. In other words, traveling a great distance, taking 10-days away from your work/life, dwelling in unordinary states of Being, and living in a supercharge of energy is the step you need to move across your threshold from a tired complacency to a charged presence.
- You will get more from a retreat than what you get on a vacation. You will return recharged and restored with more benefits, especially your health. Most people return from vacation feeling more depleted than when they left because of the lack of intention about WHY they are going on vacation, the massive amount of work (and laundry!) completed before leaving and upon returning, and the sticky family or relational dynamics that emerge on vacation. This is a trip that is for YOU. Because of this one reason, retreats release dopamine and serotonin usually longer than 2 weeks after a spiritual retreat. That’s a whole lot more happy hormones than you may get from a vacation!
- The world is on the edge of a paradigm shift, and you are called to be part of it. You are not alone if you feel you are on the precipice of a great threshold. The world is entering a new spiritual paradigm. We are encountering seismic changes and shifting sands beneath the illusion of stability and security. It’s time to get ahead of the wave of change that is coming our way. You can step across this threshold, access your meta-purpose, and support charting a new path in history that elevates human consciousness for the good of the whole. You may know that you are on the edge, even if you aren’t sure what you are preparing for. You are ready. The threshold is waiting for you.Â
2025 is the year for your big trip for a big spiritual breakthrough.
