Your Hosts
Megan McCormick
Megan McCormick, a multipotentialite entrepreneur and native Texan, is currently based in San Diego, California. A lifelong artist, Megan finds immense joy through self-expression and empowering others to do the same. As a founder of three businesses, she has always been a leader in her community and family. Beginning in early adulthood, Yoga and meditation became steady practices in her life. She has always had an innate sense of knowing that there is MORE; more to love, more to feel, more to be, more to experience. During her very first retreat experience at Liberty Arising in Boulevard, California she was awakened to the understanding that she is infinite and limitless, and that everything she could ever want and or need was already inside of her. With this awareness, and her inner knowing of oneness with the universe and humanity, she realized she had the power to manifest her reality. Her effervescent passion for creating and bringing souls together has birthed Rising Soul Retreats. As someone who has experienced so much healing and support throughout her own spiritual awakening, it is her mission to facilitate that for others through Rising Soul Retreats.
Ashlee McRae
Ashlee McRae, a Self-Love coach and Manifestation Guide, loves creating meaningful connections in beautiful event spaces, usually under a disco ball. After diving deep into her own spiritual healing and personal development over the last three years, her entire reality has shifted. A long time wanderer, Ashlee spent much of her 20s “looking for herself” all over the globe. It wasn't until she discovered meditation, manifestation, and tapping into her own intuition that everything changed. Although still a seeker, she now turns inward for guidance. By knowing, loving, and accepting who she truly is, she has manifested her dream job working with The Royal Shaman, and lives unapologetically according to her own desires. She lives in a dreamy cliff side home in San Diego with the most supportive partner, and it’s her life mission to empower her clients to manifest the life of their dreams.
