The Spiritual Walkabout

A Dance between Heaven and Earth

Retreat of Dreams

Awaits You

Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina

APRIL 4TH - 8TH 2026

A rare, ultra-intimate five-day immersion, exclusive to four women who are ready to cross the threshold of their lives.

Curated for those who value concierge-level, individual support through life’s more delicate and fractured moments, and feel ready to move forward with greater awareness, connection, and clarity.

Through fire, darkness, light, and water, you’ll enter a deeply personal journey of truth, ascension, and renewal — guided by nature, soulwork, silence, and the Translations of Light™.

Aligning body and soul — into a lived state of consciousness.
An invitation to step into how you live, choose, and move through your life.

This isn’t an escape.
It’s the turning point.
The moment everything shifts.

Forest Walk on The Trail Love

A soul-led, ceremonial passage along the Trail of Love — a tender entry into the sanctum of inner beauty, where the land invites your body to let go and rediscover what your heart has been holding.

A journey to the center of your soul — your spiritual walkabout on a trail with no fear, where the gateway to your truest self opens and evolves.

A quiet communion with water, stone, and the language of trees — where the sound of the falls softens the mind, steadies the breath, and opens you to clarity and serenity.

Whispering Falls Meditation

From that instant, you can finally exhale — preparing for the day you step into the hills of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, where Spring awakens the land with vibrant color and the hum of Mother Earth calling your name.

It is the season of rebirth — the perfect moment to begin the gentle renewal of your own inner pilgrimage. As the world around you opens, so does something within you: a new beginning, a deepening into inner beauty, and the quiet unfolding of a love becoming real in your life.

The retreat greets you with the soundscape of the mountains carried through the trees, as swallows and cardinals sing, and the chorus of spring peepers rises from the water. Every breath pulls you deeper into presence. Every step brings you closer to yourself.

A defining part of this retreat is the sharing of stories — the conversations with nature, spirits, animals, and the other side that reveal how the unseen world speaks to us, and where you discover the translation of light and love.

On your first day, you begin by softening the chaos in your mind and body, guided by the whisper of the 75-foot waterfall cascading beside the homestead — your sanctuary for rest, sleep, and renewal. Settle in and join your host, Deborah, for an orientation to this oasis and a welcoming afternoon tea.

This is the moment the deeper process begins — the tender release of everything that no longer serves you or your inner goddess.

It is here that you begin the quiet walk into the truth of who you are…
and into the mystical presence of your soul.

Hello Beautiful…

Your sacred journey begins the moment you Say Yes!

You Are Entering The Dream

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

If you’re reading this and something stirs inside you… It is not by chance

1. You want to feel comfortable in your own skin again

You’re craving a place where you don’t have to perform, hide, or hold everything together — where you can simply be yourself and exhale fully.

2. You’re ready to trust your inner voice

Whether you’ve meditated for years or you’re just beginning, you can feel something inside you asking to be heard… and you’re ready to "listen" and learn your spiritual tongue.

3. You’re tired of being strong all the time

You’ve carried so much — responsibilities, expectations, emotions — and you’re ready for a space where you don’t have to hold it all together anymore.

4. You want real empowerment, not a role to play

You’re done with spiritual performance, self-pressure, and pretending you’re “fine.”
You want authenticity — the kind that rises from the quiet truth inside you.

5. You’re ready to experience what it feels like to love yourself — no matter what

A love that doesn’t depend on achievement, perfection, or approval — a love that comes from knowing yourself, trusting yourself, and feeling safe within yourself.

🌿 THE SANCTUARY FOR YOUR BODY, MIND & SPIRIT

This retreat honors the inner temple of who you are.

Most retreats are designed for the general public — not for women with sensitive bodies, unique needs, invisible injuries, trauma histories, or energetic overwhelm.

This one is different.

Here, your body is not questioned.
Your sensitivity is not judged.
Your pace is not a problem.


And for four sacred days, your mind is freed from screens, noise, and outside demands — giving your nervous system room to breathe.

This is a sanctuary that nurtures your whole being — exactly as you are.

A place to rest and love yourself without condition.
A place where you don’t need to be perfect, strong, or agile.
A place where you can simply be you — tender, human, and whole.

7 BENEFITS OF THE RETREAT

Beyond an experience - an invitation to step into awakened consciousness

⭐ 1. Living Embodied Wisdom

Are you exhausted from holding the truth in your mind — knowing it, but not living it? It would be a relief, wouldn’t it — to finally have your truth become a way of life…

I understand. This is my passion, guiding you on how to embody your wisdom in your everyday life and let it shine through who you are and all you do.

⭐ 2. Finally, Let Go of Being Strong

Are you tired of being the rock — the one who keeps it together for everyone else, even when you quietly need space to exhale and let go?


Can you imagine the freedom of stepping into a space where nothing is demanded of you — no performing strength, no fixing, no rescuing.

I see you. During this retreat, I offer a safe, grounded space where you can soften into yourself again — supported, seen, and restored.

⭐ 3. Releasing Invisible Fears

Are you secretly held back by a quiet fear beneath your confidence — a fear no one sees, but you can feel? Picture for a moment what it would be like to move through your life without that hidden hesitation and anxiety whispering beneath the surface. Totally empowering, right?

I feel you. During our sacred journey together, I guide you in naming that subtle fear, releasing its grip, and stepping into a calm, steady confidence that feels real — not performed.

⭐ 4. Embodied Power Without Survival Mode

Are you weary of living from that constant inner vigilance — a misguided power that keeps you alert, tense, and quietly drained? How depleting this is. Can you imagine a future where your energy rises from calm courage instead of urgency and pressure?

Can you feel the possibilities? In our 1-on-1 coaching and daily meditation sessions, I help you access a power that generates from within — lived, embodied, resilient, and no longer something you have to fight with, but instead be in partnership with.

⭐ 5. Learning to Work With Mother Earth’s Elements

Do you feel a natural connection to nature but aren’t sure how to use it for inner balance, healing, clarity, or daily support?

Imagine understanding the pulse of Mother Earth, fire, water, sound, and stillness — not as concepts, but as living tools that help you feel centered, safe, and clear each day.

This is part of my signature process, Translations of Light. Together, we collaborate with these elements in real time, so they become an active companion in your life — guiding, grounding, and strengthening your inner world long after you leave the retreat.

⭐ 6. Being Secure, Centered, and Feeling Free — Not Perfect

Do you ever feel out of sync — even after the meditation, the yoga, the self-work? I’ve been in that place. I know how disorienting it is.

Imagine feeling centered and secure from within, free from the need to perfect anything. This is the dance of divine balance I help you merge into — the beginning of mastering a life of Divine Balance.

⭐ 7. Elevate Your Spiritual Gifts into Lived Reality

Do you sense things, feel things, or “read” energy beyond the basic senses — but struggle to understand or trust what comes through? It can be frustrating, can’t it?

How would it feel if your inner light was finally clear, understood, and easy to navigate? Magical… absolutely.

During your spiritual walkabout, I help you translate what you feel — awakening your intuitive gifts and turning your inner intelligence into lived, grounded reality.

It is time to stop the need to look outside of yourself

to know the future,

define what's next,

and live an authentic existence,

in this moment -

and genuinely feel worthy,

blessed, and divinely guided.

This retreat is not about becoming more.
It is about living from what is already true within you.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

If you’ve nodded your head YES to any of the above, this sacred journey in the Blue Ridge Mountains

was created just for you.

“Your soul is stirring. Step into the light.”

Welcome to The Retreat of Dreams

Where the Walkabout Begins

Dear Soulweaver,

Welcome to the trail where truth awakens — a path revealed breath by breath.

Hi, I’m Deborah Berry — a consciousness coach, spiritual guide, and author. My passion and purpose live where human suffering meets the quiet intelligence of the soul.

What unfolds within Retreat of Dreams is not academic. It is shaped by six decades of lived experience — including profound loss and surviving multiple brain injuries — and a deep, embodied understanding of consciousness, awareness, and the soul’s architecture.

For decades, I have walked alongside women and seasoned professionals as they learn to interpret the unspoken language of their inner life — the ongoing dialogue expressed through emotion, intuition, and dreams. Together, we move through the uncomfortable passages shaped by grief, loss, and fear, allowing clarity and steadiness to emerge in their own time.

Through guided silence and meditation, soul sessions, creative rituals in nature, and living ceremonial experiences, subtle awareness is translated into lived meaning. What arises is not something to achieve, but something to inhabit — compassion, coherence, and a clear, grounded way of being.

Integration is at the heart of the Spiritual Walkabout. It is how insight is gently anchored into daily life, so the experience continues long after the retreat ends, becoming a reliable roadmap for spiritual coherence.

Retreat of Dreams is individually curated for each woman — an intimate, immersive journey into honesty, self-love, and inner truth, inviting you to return to your life with unshakable confidence and a presence rooted in your authentic self.

Come with me on a trail with no fear and dance to the beat of your own drum and expand in beauty of your light.

Your Soul-Shaping Journey

The 4 Streams of The Retreat Experience

The Sanctuary

A private mountain retreat nestled on 8 acres where Mother Earth meets heaven.

The Sanctuary is where you arrive, unplug, and let the noise of life fall away. This serene space is a home away from home. With skylights that welcome the shifting mountain light and intimate spaces that hold your inner world gently, your body begins to exhale, and your spirit aligns.

Four nights, four days, all-inclusive VIP experience

  • Crisp white linens, fine furnishings — cozy and modern

  • Two private queen luxury suites, a private bathroom, a balcony with a view

  • Quiet decks, secluded nooks, and private forest trails for mindful wandering

  • Chef-prepared meals + all-day refreshment bar and snack station

  • The Vibe Station — for body and mind recalibration, a self-help healing space offering on-demand access to advanced technologies, therapeutic massage, hand light therapy, and immersive soundscapes to restore balance throughout the retreat

The Immersion

A curated inner journey reconnecting you with your emotional, intuitive, and creative worlds.

The Immersion is where outer noise fades, and your inner world comes into focus. Silence becomes a guide, creativity becomes expression, and nature mirrors what is stirring within you. Through intentional practices, gentle ritual, and hands-on creation, you begin listening differently — not to the past, but to what is rising now.

This is a space of presence and perception, where awareness deepens naturally and insight unfolds without force.

Creative Practices, Rituals, and Inner Exploration

  • Whispering Falls Morning Meditation — a quiet communion with water, stone, and the language of trees — where the sound of the falls softens the mind, steadies the breath, and opens you to clarity and serenity.

  • Silent Streams: 24-Hour Immersion™ — a full day of intentional silence designed to open perception, heighten awareness, and reconnect you with your inner world

  • Soulweaves Dreamcatcher Creation Workshop™ — design and create your personalized dreamcatcher to take home as a symbolic map of your inner world

  • Gratitude Treasures Ritual™ — an intimate exploration of 5–7 meaningful items from your life, offering a loving way to see what has been quietly holding you in pain, and to shift your gaze toward the inner treasures — the strengths, gifts, and light within you — that are ready to lead your next chapter.

  • SoulSense in the Kitchen — a fun and playful union preparing, tasting, and embracing holistic living. This is a grounding, sensory experience that connects you to nature’s wisdom and healing.

The Transformation

Where clarity returns, strength rises, and inner truth is reclaimed.

Transformation begins when you meet yourself without turning away. In this realm, compassionate light softens what has been carried too long — not to relive the past, but to loosen its grip. Through honest conversation, intuitive guidance, and shared witnessing, protective layers begin to release.

Here, insight becomes embodied understanding, and mind, heart, and soul realign with authenticity and inner leadership.

Personal Support, Integration, and Inner Leadership

  • 1:1 Soul Sessions with Deborah — intimate, intuitive guidance that meets you in the deeper currents of your story, helping you hear the truth beneath your experiences and feel supported as new clarity rises

  • SoulWeaves Integration™ — a practical and soul-led process that helps you understand the insights revealed through your inner Translations of Light™ and weave them into the rhythms of daily living, so your healing continues to unfold long after the retreat

  • Retreat of Dreams Journal & Workbook — reflective tools that help you trace your inner shifts, strengthen focus, honor what surfaces through fire and shadow, and give shape to the light returning to your story

  • Group Circles for Healing & Expression — where the Warrior of Light in you is invited to speak your truth, be welcomed and witnessed, and rise into your own wisdom

  • Daily Tools & Practices — engaging rituals and brave-in-nature moments that strengthen self-awareness, release your mind from unhealthy patterns, awaken perception, and help you move fluidly between the practical and the Mystical.

The Ascension

The lived expression of awareness woven into everyday life.

Ascension is not rising above life — it is learning to live fully awake within it. Spiritual awareness becomes grounded, practical, and trustworthy as you recognize how guidance speaks to you — through intuition, nature, dreams, and subtle moments of knowing.

Through ceremony, story, and soul-connection, the mystical and the practical meet, allowing clarity, compassion, and courage to move with you into daily life.

Ceremony, Story, and Conscious Awareness

  • Tea with Kindred Souls™ — a sacred afternoon gathering of true stories and soul connections that reveal how love, consciousness, and the unseen continue to speak in our lives, even after someone passes

  • Fire Horse Alchemy™ — a strategic alignment of fire and darkness into the light of alchemy, honoring the freedom, trust, and love born from inner suffering, and celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse

  • Stories of Spirit, Dreams & Whispers of Light — teachings and conversations that help you understand the presence of energy, spiritual animals, signs, and the guidance that moves through nature

  • The Ceremony of Living Light™ — a closing ritual where the spiritual and physical worlds meet within you, revealing how courage, compassion, and divine balance can move through your daily life. It concludes with Light Your Lantern™, a symbolic act of carrying your new awareness onto the spiritual path of embodied conscious living.

Where Food Becomes

Part of the Journey:

A Celebration

Where Food Becomes Part of the Journey:

A Celebration

My passion began as the daughter of a celebrity chef in Australia, who cooked for Prince Charles and children with special needs. I, too, discovered the language of food and service.

After surviving chemical trauma in my 20s, food became my healing through color, simplicity, aroma, and natural ingredients.

And here, at this retreat,

Food isn’t just served.

Part of our journey unfolds in the kitchen — through conversation, presence, and the preparation of nourishment that awakens every sense.

A Sensory Experience of Color,

Care & Creativity

I’ve lived in Asia, Britain, Australia, the outback, and now the United States — each place has shaped my cooking.

I’ve gathered rituals that enrich my kitchen
