It's Summer Camp meets Spiritual Retreat. I LOVED every moment! It was quite powerful going from insightful workshops to being outdoors with the special activities. The speakers, the location, the activities and even the food, this program had everything! I highly recommend it! I’ll be back!
Esther W. - Long Island, NY
I was nervous to attend, but so glad I did and it's become my favorite event. The breakout session, versus the gathering of all attendees and dining was a perfect combination to provide opportunities for sharing experiences with different people. I am very glad that I followed my heart rather than my head. It was outstanding!
Robert T., Los Angeles, CA
When you go to the Celebrate Your Life events it’s exciting because there’s so many speakers and you meet new people and new friends. You walk away feeling elevated! I’ve been to several and if you haven’t been to one, get on a plane, get on a train, walk to it! It’s fantastic!
Alejandria K. – San Francisco, CA
I deeply loved the connections I made at this event. Feeling very shy about being in groups has informed many of my decisions about spiritual growth events, and taking a chance with this event has shown me that I am not actually as shy as I thought. The loving energy I experienced was truly amazing and I will absolutely attend another event in the future :
THANK YOU!

Magic of the Soul - Inside Wisdom for an Outside World
This transformational and energetic workshop, Magic of the Soul | Inside Wisdom for an Outside World will help you to follow your Soul’s true path and reconnect you with your natural spiritual abilities so you can start following your true life purpose.
If you’re overcome with feelings of being trapped, constrained, or unfulfilled or you often ask yourself: “What is my purpose?” or “What am I supposed to be doing in this life?” then this workshop will show you how to tap in to one of the most powerful and magical forces in the Universe - your Soul!
John will help you develop a conscious awareness of the spiritual laws that shape your life and help you reconnect with your individual soul force.
John will cover topics such as:
1. Understanding the relevance & purpose of your Soul and how to open yourself to its guiding higher consciousness.
2. Uncovering & acknowledging your soul’s unique blueprint & purpose.
3. The 4 special ways your soul tries to get your attention.
4. Breaking free from past conditioning and beliefs and learning to live your ‘own’ story.
5. Embracing your Shadow-Side
6. Developing and using your psychic soul-senses in all areas of your life.

Our soul is what keeps us connected to the Divine Source. The soul provides a deeper understanding of life and the human connection with a higher power.
As John says: “Follow the inner-wisdom of your soul and you’ll be on your way to a better understanding of who you are and more importantly … who you can become!”
*BONUS * As a teaching tool John will end the workshop with a demonstration of his of his psychic & mediumship abilities so he can illustrate how he uses his psychic soul-senses to connect to you, your Soul and to the Other-Side.

FAQ's - Questions that other fellow attendees asked before attending the retreat
I have food allergies. Will the meals accommodate me?
We provide delicious and nutritious food and Vegan and Gluten Free options. To keep you feeling energized and focused as you learn from great spiritual teachers and embark on incredible journeys, we do our best to provide food that nourishes the body, mind and spirit.
What if I come alone, will I feel welcome?
At Celebrate Your Life! we do everything in our power to ensure no one comes to our retreats or events feeling alone. When you register for a retreat, you will receive an invitation to join a private Facebook group specific to the retreat or event you are attending. Over the past 24 years, we continue to hear the same feedback: our events feel like home, like family, because of our connected and engaged soul tribe community. Our community gives you a sense of belonging from true soul connections made before you even attend one of our events.
How can I find a roommate to share the hotel room with?
When you register for an event, you will receive an invitation to join a private Facebook group for the specific event. In this group, you can post a request to find a roommate or to carpool with others who are attending. This is also a great way to get to know each other and build connections prior to attending the event.
Can I come for just one day or one workshop?
At our events and retreats we do not separate out days, speakers or workshops for sale separately.
Can I get author’s books at events, and will they be available to sign books?
At CYL we have created a book store where you will be able to browse the latest releases by our presenting author’s as well as some favorite titles and items. The authors will have a book signing after their presentation.
What should I wear?
We recommend that you dress comfortably. You will be sitting, standing, meditating, moving and want to feel good. The spaces are climate controlled. While we do our best to ensure that it is not too cold or too warm, we do know that everyone is different. Therefore, we suggest that you bring layers in case you get chilly or warm.
Does the price include hotel?
While we do arrange for a group rate at hotels, the payment for the hotel is handled separately by you. You will receive hotel information via email upon registration. We always recommend that you book your room as soon as you register for the event to avoid discounted rooms being sold out. You are also responsible for travel to and from the event/retreat destination.
What airport do I fly into?
Portland International Airport is only 45 minutes from Skamania Lodge. We will provide the name of a shuttle service to all attendees that you can use to get to and from the airport.
