Learn the Tools to Awaken to Your Dream Life

June 6-11, 2023

About The Retreat

Escape to Paradise and manifest your best dreams!

Have you ever wondered what your dreams mean?

Or how you can use them to awaken your best life?

If so, you're not alone. Your dreams are a window into your subconscious mind, a place where your deepest thoughts, feelings, and desires can be expressed without judgment. But what if you could use your dreams to enhance your waking life?

This is where The Dream Retreat at Imiloa in Costa Rica comes in. The Dream Retreat is designed to help you explore the power of your dreams and learn how to use them to achieve your goals.

 

Imagine waking up to the sound of birdsong and the smell of fresh coffee. You step out onto your balcony and take in the breathtaking view of the jungle, scarlet macaws chattering, sloths hanging from vines and monkeys singing. The sun is shining, the palm trees are swaying, and the cascade of a nearby waterfall lulls you in. You're in Costa Rica at a luxury dream retreat that's everything you've ever dreamed of.

At Imiloa, we are located above the beach, surrounded by lush rainforest. There are only a handful of villas, jungle bungalows, and yurts, each with its own private view; all beautifully appointed with all the amenities you need for a relaxing and luxurious vacation.

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature, and your own inner nature, via your dreams. Soak up the sun, swim in the ocean, and relax in your private villa. This is your paradise.

You'll also have the opportunity to share your dreams with a group of like-minded people and learn from each other's experiences.

Are you ready to transform your tragic into magic and manifest your dreams?

Book now to do less and accomplish (way) more while you sleep.

Retreat Experience

DAY 1 – Tuesday, June 6th

Arrival

DAY 2 – Wednesday, June 7th

What's your Dream Declaration?

What is it that you truly desire to explore, manifest, and become? Stronger than setting an intention, a Declaration is a lightning rod of conductivity to energize your intention for incarnating in this dimension. When you declare to yourself, to the Dream Maker, and to the universe that you are ready to dream-a-fest your best life, it shall be done. In order to craft a Declaration (a clear and focused statement of what you want to achieve in your waking life), you’ll bask in the quiet of nature, taking the time you need to hear the whispers of your soul. As you do this, you’ll identify what it is you truly desire at the core of your being. By setting your declaration, you broadcast to the universe what you are ready to receive, and the universe starts to conspire to help you actualize that.

DAY 3 – Thursday, June 8th

Alchemy via Release your Nitty, Gritty, Shitty List

We don't have to teach the sun how to shine. In order to feel the warmth, the clouds simply need to move past the sun. Alchemy via releasing your nitty gritty shitty list, is about removing the clouds you've been living with from in front of the brightness of your spirit. You’ll have the opportunity to transform your perspective on a situation that has been weighing heavy on you so that in the release of it you’ll give yourself the gift of a lighter, brighter way of living your dream life.

DAY 4 – Friday, June 9th

Embodying the Dream

The most important aspect of nighttime dreamwork is the embodiment of the energy, emotion, and/or feeling tone of the dream. Whether or not you remember your dream in vivid detail, recalling the way the dream made you feel, and the energy it produced is key. We will explore dream alchemy, dream reentry, and dream theatre to assist you in embodying the heightened energy of your dream. These processes are among the most valuable ways to affect quantum-level acceleration in your waking life.

DAY 5 – Saturday, June 10th

Lucid Dreaming & Lucid Living

Tucked away in the recesses of your mind is the memory that you are beautiful, perfect, magnificent, whole, and connected with all life. Remember? You came here to elevate yourself and everyone around you, from the pain of separation to the lucid dream of our oneness, our immortality, and infinite heavenly possibilities. This is lucid living. We’ll also explore lucid dreaming as well as group dream techniques to assist you in more powerfully co-creating your dream life… for the highest good of all!

Testimonials

Death never happens no matter what anyone tells you! There is only life… in all its iterations. I was lucky to share that with Kelly Sullivan Walden after her near-death experience, of which she writes about in this book. Once we know that life doesn’t end when the body does, we can get on with the business of living with more freedom and joy. That’s what Kelly talks about in this book—she gives us the steps and tools to transform our tragic into magic…one metaphorical or literal lightning strike at a time!
- Dannion Brinkley

New York Times bestselling author of Saved by the Light

As Carl Jung once said, ‘One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.’ In Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste, she does just that. She not only reveals her own shadowy stories and shares how she mined the gold from them, but she leaves a trail of breadcrumbs behind, along with a system to help us take our disempowered stories and transform them into the launching pad for our greatest compassion and contribution to humanity. And she does all this with the ability to belly-laugh at the dark, making sure it has no choice but to turn into light.

- Cyndi Dale

Bestselling and award-winning author of The Subtle Body

I hope your life is filled with grace, ease, and phenomenal prosperity. However, if you should encounter a bump in the road or any type of difficulty, my wish for you is that you learn how to see that life is never happening to you but for you. This is one of the reasons why I love Kelly Sullivan Walden’s book, A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste. It teaches us an enlightened perspective on how to perceive our tribulations and transform them into jubilation. The medicine in her 4-step OGLE process is truly life changing. I hope this book impacts you at least half as much as it has me!

- Marie Diamond

Bestselling author and star of The Secret

Could there be a more important time in our lives to learn the energy-healing tools to pull ourselves out of the mud than now? I don’t think so. In fact, to become able to transform our tragic moments into magic moments (as quickly and thoroughly as possible) is the name of the game. This is why I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste. This book is for anyone who wants to make the most at their difficulties to become the best version of themselves—to be able to pay it forward and make a difference on this planet.

- Lisa Campion

Bestselling author of The Art of Psychic Reiki and Energy Healing for Empaths

A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste reveals how the darkest traumas and misfortunes of our private histories can be transformed into treasure in the form of deeper purpose. In this brave and innovative book, Kelly Sullivan Walden takes the mystery out of such alchemy by systematically revealing, through personal stories and her breakthrough 4-step method, how to face and embrace our nightmares (both waking and sleeping) in order to transmute them into fuel for creating the life of our dreams. This empowering book provides the gift of clarity—the means through which to excavate the mud of our pasts and uncover glimmers of our unique purpose for being alive.

- Aspen Matis

Bestselling author of Girl in the Woods and Your Blue Is Not My Blue

For many of us, one of the muddiest areas of our lives is in the realm of our intimate relationships. If we want to attract and sustain the soulmate relationship of our dreams, we need to stop glossing over our heartbreaks. Instead, we need to read Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste, to help us shine a bright light on our crippling love-life woes to transform them into WOWs—and thus, become magnetic to the love we desire and deserve.

- Arielle Ford

Bestselling author of The Soulmate Secret

Having our dream life—a life where our greatest desires come to pass—is our birthright. But it doesn’t materialize without us learning some hard lessons along the way. I prefer the easy way—don’t get me wrong—but I’m grateful for my missteps and challenges because they’ve deepened me and given me access to valuable aspects of my inner wisdom that I never would’ve discovered otherwise. To help us flip the tragic into magic, I recommend the radically simple but profound 4-step process Kelly Sullivan Walden writes about in her book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste.

- Christy Whitman

New York Times bestselling author

From one who is no stranger to the mud, phenomenal Kelly and her amazing book is the perfect inspiration to remind us to STOP wasting our funky moments—they are so deliciously (albeit intensely) rife with learning, growing…and let’s face it, Sacred Exfoliation! I highly recommend it as a way to ensure the transformation of your tragic into your magic.

- Allana Pratt

Author of From Heartbreak to HeartMates

We all face adversities, challenges, and many face crisis that leave them paralyzed.

But what if in these times the gold is hidden under the mud? Kelly ignites us with practical

tools and soulful wisdom to find our inner magician to free us from our personal cage and give

us wings to believe that indeed we are the alchemist of our own life! And how grand is that?!

Read the treasures of this book and find your magic tools.

- Agapi Stassinopoulos

Bestselling author of Speaking with Spirit

Never in history (most certainly not in my history) has the bleep hit the fan more than it has lately. I am deeply aware of the fact that life can make us either bitter or better. This is why I love Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste. It helps us get down to the nitty gritty, to not just tolerate but celebrate the things in life that tip us upside down and shake us by the ankles. With Kelly’s OGLE process, you’ll learn how to quickly transform your tragic into magic.

- Betsy Chasse

Award-winning coproducer/director of What the Bleep Do We Know

When it appears like things are falling apart, a new world is trying to emerge—a world of higher values and vision. A world that works for the highest good of all. But it can’t happen apart from us. We each need to participate in this emergence by becoming the change we want to see in the world (personally, professionally, and globally). For this reason, I’m so excited about my friend Kelly Sullivan Walden new book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste. She gets into the nitty-gritty in her simple 4-step formula to teach us all how to transform our most difficult moments into a springboard into our greatest emergence.

- Derek Rydall

Bestselling author of Emergence

Everyone in my world knows that I am a huge proponent of falling in love with our shadows. My dear friend, Kelly Sullivan Walden has written a book of her own personal shadows and her process of not just tolerating them but celebrating them. When I think of the world I want to live in, it’s one where we all stop glossing over or ignoring our difficulties and most painful memories, but one where we love them so much they become our access point to truly making a difference in other people’s lives and creating great meaning in our own.

- Jo-e Sutton

Author of the upcoming book Falling in Love with Your Shadows
