If you are a yoga teacher, energy healer, therapist or coach who is ready to step more fully into your radiance and confidently share your gifts with the world, then join Yulia Azriel for a retreat where you are going to shed all limitations and obstacles that were put on you and around your heart that keep you small.
Standing in the middle of the Cathedral Rock Vortex in sacred ceremony in Sedona, you feel the aliveness and vibrancy of the earth with its bright red colors of the rocks all around you and the freedom and openness of the magnificent sky above you.
Feeling your heart open with wonder and aliveness of your soul ready to express your radiance. You feel the soft, grounding energy of this feminine vortex along with the soul-tribe of women looking at you with unconditional acceptance, love and support.
You are feeling grounded and stable in the knowing of who you are and why you are put here on the Earth. Quiet, calm and clear energy pulses through your body affirming you that your whole life has prepared you for this moment to stand up and shine, just like the magnificent rocks in front of you.
A surge of pure knowing courses through your whole being. Tears of joy and trust roll down your face as you remember your purpose of being alive and the healing gifts you came to share with the world.
As you step into the center of the circle of women who support you with unconditional love, and you see and feel the majestic land of the Oak Creek and you understand now why this vortex has been revered by the Native Americans as a home of Gods and a birthplace of women and men
Can you imagine how relieved and happy you’d feel if you didn’t worry about other people accepting you following your heart as an intuitive healer?
How fantastic would it be if you let go of having to choose between a stable career and following your heart?
Wouldn’t it feel great to drop the fear of embarrassing, disappointing or worrying your loved ones and other people by living your true calling?
Can you imagine how elated you’d feel if you no longer feared settling and not fulfilling your greatest potential as a healer?
Sedona is a place like no other where the Earth feels particularly alive with energy and vibrancy. Many spiritual healers and seekers come here for reconnection to their inner wisdom and spiritual strength.
Sedona is famous for its vortexes, which are swirling centers of energy that are conducive to healing, purification of any blocked or stuck energy and activation of one’s soul’s purpose and expression.
We designed this retreat specifically in perfect alignment with the support of the natural world to witness your awakening to trusting in your divine purpose and sacred gifts as a healer.
Most of the days we will luxuriate in the peaceful magic of the Angel Valley – the home of NuLemurian Heart Center, where time seems to stretch and where connection to the heart of life is ever so potent.
Right here at the Angel Valley, we will walk the magical Chartres Labyrinth, which will guide you as a spiritual tool to connect with the Divine within.
As you walk the labyrinth, imagine all obstacles and limitations that are standing in the way of you sharing your intuitive gifts with the world. You feel a significant shift in your energy field and, in your consciousness, as you walk back from the center feeling empowered with clarity, lightness and openness in your heart to be the healer you were born to be.
Looking up through the skylight at the dark night sky full of stars and quiet beauty, you are filled with deep gratitude and peace after a day of communion with nature and your heart and soul.
It’s wonderful to feel the pulse of life with each cell of your body and a satisfying feeling that you have arrived.
The Nu Lemurian Heart Center provides a perfect combination of being in communion with nature while receiving all the modern conveniences, such as comfortable beds, private bathrooms, air conditioning and heating.
You will have plenty of leisurely moments to integrate the internal shifts – whether you want to sip a refreshing drink on the terrace with breathtaking views, journal in the Crystal Hall – our gorgeous group facility building with large windows and beauty all around, or have a stroll through the gardens or meditate by one of the sacred sites – the grounds will soothe your soul as you remember what it’s like to actually slow down and enjoy life.
Within this perfect sanctuary to unplug, you’ll let your heart take you from site to site as you uncover the magic in every step and on every path you take – whether it is a meditative moment at the Vortex Circles or contemplation at the Water Wheel, walk across a Foot Bridge or quiet moments by the Oak Creek – you will continue to receive inspirations and recharge your soul with wonder and magic.
Be prepared for your mouth to water in anticipation of each and every nutrient-dense and energy infusing meal.
You’ll feel the skill and love poured into each bite as you eat this high vibrational vegetarian and vegan cuisine served buffet style in Angel Cafeteria.
Dedicated chef and team prepare each meal from scratch with organic ingredients
in a professionally equipped kitchen.
All your senses will be delighted by the homey atmosphere combined with the exquisite new friendships and healthy and vibrant meals to nourish your body and elevate your spirit by the dishes such as carrot ginger soup, coconut vegetable curry with a satisfying blend of mango salsa, cucumber raita, brightness of cilantro and crunchy almonds.
Can’t eat this or that? Vegan, vegetarian, gluten or dairy free? No problem – we’re happy to accommodate any of your food preferences – you will have a chance to fill a meal questionnaire prior to your arrival.
You will feel the high vibration of the food and the loving energy it was prepared with. You will leave the retreat inspired to continue treating yourself as a Goddess when you return home.
Landing in the peace sanctuary of Nu Lemuria Heart Center at
Angel Valley, you come to the nurturance of this sacred land.
Walking through the labyrinth, you see your old limiting beliefs and obstacles falling away as you start to feel lighter in your body and mind and clearer about your heart’s calling.
What is your heart calling for?
Freedom to speak and share your gifts?
Empowerment to take imperfect actions?
Authentic happiness?
Inner peace regardless of the crazy world around you…?
Whatever your heart and soul most craves to fulfill in this lifetime – this is the moment to claim your birthright! You know it’s time for a major breakthrough with every cell in your being.
We’ll use the power of the Earth, Water, Air and Fire elements to release the ways we’ve made the unconscious choice to limit ourselves – all while stepping fully into trusting our gifts.
Today our sacred sisterhood will call in the support of the ancestors, spirit guide,
totem animals and the power of the Earth, Water, Fire and Air to fuel our transformation.
First, we’ll be taking an adventure to the sacred Cathedral Rock vortex where we’ll have a grounding “awakening ceremony” to invite in a new vision of ourselves and our sacred purpose in the world.
Next, we’ll call in the power of the breath to wash away old beliefs and energies in the Crystal Hall back at the Angel Valley.
We’ll compete the day with the potent fire ceremony to burn away any lingering doubts or fears of your greatness as you step even more fully into embodiment of the confident healer and leader in the world.
Through these transformations you’ll take your new level of consciousness, broadened perspective and ability to shift your thoughts and emotions when you are back at home and marvel at the major positive change in your home life, relationships, your purpose, aliveness, health and finances.
Now it’s time to align our body, mind and spirit with that channel 
to the divine feminine and masculine energies and your 4 birthrights: Freedom, Purpose, Abundance and Pleasure.
While visiting Bell Rock Vortex, we call in the Native American ancestors for their guidance and mastery during our ceremony.
It’s time to make an energetic imprint and sync your soul with your life so you have access to your own inner wisdom and guidance at any time!
Then after our deep inner work and spectacular adventure, you’ll have plenty of time to integrate the experiences – whether it’s sipping a cup of refreshing beverage by the Oak Creek and journaling your insights and empowered visions in the gardens, or receiving a soothing massage with one of the house healers or taking a nap in the sun. Time to nurture YOU. We know how much you give to others!
Just imagine being free of your past, of fears and shame, of traumatic experiences, and 
now you have the freedom to simply be happy and in love for no reason. Ahhh!
Today you’ll drop into your newfound mastery of intent – discovering how you can connect to your unique life force and direct it into your life to express yourself confidently and creatively.
Today – stepping fully into your power and divine purpose. We’ll journey to the Cathedral Vortex (where Feminine and Masculine energies are in co-creative balance) and we’ll also climb Rock of to anchor our new dreams for ourselves and the world, then commit to taking action when we return home from the place of confidence and knowing of our Divine Purpose.
In one powerful last ceremony in the center of the healing vortex, we’ll raise the vibration of all of humanity as Women of Power and Purpose. Surrounded by the support and understanding of our newfound circle, we’ll reflect and witness the growth and transformation in each other while supporting women (and men!) around the world.
As we part, we’ll pack our deepened connection to our intuition and healing abilities and leave feeling confident in your ability to create healing shifts in every aspect of your life and sacred work – in all relationship with yourself and all others, as well as share a bigger message and make a bigger impact on everyone you touch with your presence.
TESTIMONIAL
Before this retreat I felt good, but after the retreat I felt amazing! All tension in my body melted away. My energy felt whole and in harmony with the flow of life. I experienced both physical release as well as emotional and mental. I left no longer carrying the anxieties I came in with. I have experienced this lingering effect all day and have felt more confident in myself today.

I have led hundreds of clients and students on deeply healing inward journeys and retreats and am always amazed by the power of the healing wisdom that is activated during each session that leads to miracles in people’s lives.
My spiritual path began when I found myself deeply depressed and miserable, in a heart-breaking relationship, despite of all of the external successes of pursuing a PhD in Biochemistry, working in the most prestigious lab making drugs for diabetes when I was in my early 30s.
After failing my qualifying exams, I was devastated. This led to finding a place that brought me peace and a feeling of coming home – yoga and meditation practice.
Already having a taste of the liberating feeling I experienced with yoga, I blindly followed my heart to embark on a yoga teacher’s training with the world-renowned yoga master Yogi Amrit Desai at the Amrit Yoga Institute in Florida.
The spiritual rabbit hole I fell into lead to life-changing heart-opening experiences and awakening of powerful energy that I never knew was inside of me.
It was an accelerated journey of healing of my childhood wounds and for the first time in my life learning to trust my heart and my healing gifts that had been hiding behind doubts, insecurities and self-judgement.
After opening Gentle Heart Yoga and Wellness in 2014, I have been dedicating my life to supporting other people in developing trust in the healing wisdom of their body and breath and uncovering the place within them that is pure happiness, bliss, and wholeness.
It is my passion to help people reconnect to sacred heart and align with their soul’s true purpose. In the processes I guide my clients and students through, they learn how to accept themselves and to be liberated from insecurities and judgments and have a direct embodied experience of Divine Love.
I lead Women’s Yoga Circles and teach workshops and trainings, including a professional certification of Yoga Nidra (sleep-based meditation technique) aimed at helping people reconnect with the Source of unconditional peace and Love available to us all.

⦁ Uplifted from heart-centered ceremonies and rituals and ready to share your renewed energy with the world
⦁ Return home feeling relaxed, refreshed and inspired to take your life to the next level

The October month average high is around 78F (26°C). Daily low temperatures are around 51°F (10°C). Check the weather forecast here.

We’ll be sending out a more detailed “Don’t Forget Me List” a month before the event.
We deeply believe in caring for Mother Earth and that each of us has the responsibility to consciously live in harmony with the planet, as best we can. This includes looking at how we eat, heat our homes, vacation, commute and travel. That’s why we support holistically looking at climate change and where we can reduce our CO2 emissions. Credible research shows, for example, that cows cause more CO2 “emissions” than cars or plane travel.
We recommend that you use a carbon footprint calculator to see your personal impact and reduce your emissions as you can. You can also participate in offsetting your carbon footprint by donating to or getting involved with environmental organizations you trust or well-recognized organizations that list certified and verified carbon offsetting projects. Every little act we take can make a difference and we appreciate your concern and awareness.
For us, we know the benefits of converging with life-minded folks in person, on occasion, who want to make a difference in the world, create online businesses and give back is priceless!
Here are three companies that you can refer to for offsetting your carbon units:
The planet is calling for our powerful presence and healing gifts to be seen and heard now. This requires looking at fear, doubts and insecurities in the eye and dismantling them one by one with support and loving care. After all, your gifts is what creates change in the world.
If you’ve been giving, giving, giving to others, but no one’s been giving to you, then this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to step outside your everyday routine and dive deep into your inner well of wisdom so you can return home replenished and ready to make a difference.
So whether you just need to take a pause from the pressures of your profession, know it’s time to reassess your life, then time to yourself within the support of the group is guaranteed to free your soul and replenish your energy to do your creative work in the world.
Together, we’ll be attracting in feminine forces far more powerful than us to create an experience that goes beyond words and expands you into another paradigm altogether. But you’ll have to answer the call and say YES to join us and experience it. If your heart says YES, we NEED you to join us there!
