Sacred Alignment Retreat

Sacred Alignment Retreat is a four-day healing retreat in Westport, Washington, for people who want to work with their chakras in a structured, supported way. It blends Eastern and Western philosophies, pairing the chakra system with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and it follows the Sacred Alignment workbook written by Jess Spain. The gathering runs over an extended weekend on the Washington coast, from a Friday evening to a Monday midday.

What to Expect

The retreat moves through the workbook one energy point at a time. Each chakra is approached through shadow work, gentle movement, energy work and self-reconnection, so the days combine reflection and writing with softer, body-based practice. Maslow's hierarchy of needs gives the work a frame: it asks what a person needs in order to feel grounded and safe, and what becomes possible from there.

The group begins on Friday evening at 6:00 PM and closes on Monday at 12:00 PM. Meals are part of the practice. Guests prepare nourishing food together in the house kitchen, so cooking and sharing a table become part of the realignment rather than a break from it. The atmosphere is connective and unhurried, with a hot tub overlooking the water for time between sessions.

The Setting

The retreat takes place in a house on the Washington coast in Westport, a setting the host describes as beautifully spooky, with the moody character of the Pacific Northwest shoreline in late winter. The hot tub looks out over the water.

Lodging is in the house, and guests choose a room tier when they register. Options include a solo queen room, a private room with a queen bed, a private room with a double bed, a shared queen room with another guest, and a futon as the lowest-priced option. Some of the private single rooms have already sold out.

Before You Go

Lodging in the room tier you select is included, along with the Sacred Alignment workbook, a journal and a small token of appreciation. Meals are prepared together by the group, so come ready to cook alongside others. No prior experience with chakras or shadow work is stated as a requirement, and the movement is gentle.
