IMILOA PRESENTS
A 6-day Journey Activating Your Highest Truth
September 30 – October 5, 2022
About The Retreat
Release masks that you wear for everyone else and embody your true nature in the presence of soul family. You are safe to be seen, be heard, be loved and be yourself here. Your soul tribe is here to love you as you are.
The world needs us. Needs you. For who you are. Not for who you pretend to be for your friends, neighbors, parents, co-workers… not the masks you wear to make everyone else happy. We need you. This week you will activate your true essence because the planet needs your unique personal perspective. You have permission to be your self, to take up space and to safely release past conditioning, behaviors and beliefs that prevent you from living your truth.
When we are given the love and space to shed layers that are not in alignment, we heal ourselves and the collective. In this retreat you will open and uncover these layers through many energetic offerings: meditation, breathwork, movement, quantum healing and heart-opening ceremonies that will leave you feeling clearer on your own soul purpose and inner wisdom. We co-create this space to ensure you feel safe to explore the fears that hold you back from embracing your genuine expression. You are loved here.
The behaviors, beliefs and conditioning that have caused you to protect your heart, to put walls up around your true nature, are coming down. It can be messy and uncomfortable… and we know you will leave this retreat feeling connected to your self, to your soul family and with our sacred natural environment.

Testimonials
This retreat led by Chelsea has been such a transformative experience. When I was told about this trip, I just knew I was meant to be there and that I would receive the answers to a lot of questions that were holding me back. I did what I needed to do to make sure I made it and boy was I right! Not only did I fall in love with the view, but I was able to experience the beautiful and radiant light that is Chelsea. Chelsea has such an amazing way of always helping you feel safe, heard, understood but also challenged.. regardless of whether it’s in a group setting or a one on one conversation. She truly embodies all that she is and is truly unapologetic about it in the most amazing way possible. If you’re reading this, it might just be because you’re curious and desiring to be part of one of her retreats. I say dive deep and if anything resonates, just jump into it. I promise you won’t be the least bit disappointed!
I have known Chelsea for almost 9 years now and I have never seen her so in her element. I attended the July 23rd to 25th full moon rustic retreat and I will remember it forever. Chelsea moved through obstacles with ease on finding a campsite (since there was an unexpected road closure) and was prepared for hosting in non-stop rain (which was forecasted) and had the confidence and faith that the universe would provide. We had the most amazing group of people with the perfect campsite and had not a single drop of rain on Saturday or Sunday. I full-heartedly believe in Chelsea's powerful connection to spirit and ability to manifest. She was exceptional at fitting a multitude of breathwork activities, crafting, and readings into the weekend without rushing any part of the process and allowing everything to fall into place. Our full moon circle was a safe space to put in the work and open ourselves to change and growth. Chelsea is amazing at holding space and opening people up to speak their truth. Her energy is so positive and soothing to be around. Not only has she discovered her ability to help others, but she is also open to and seeking continuous growth for herself. I can only imagine how much more amazing every retreat will be!
Chelsea's Connected Camping Retreat was truly one of the most heart opening, magical weekends I've ever had. I've paid $2000++ for weekend retreats that haven't even been half as impactful as the space Chelsea held. She is the medicine mama that your soul needs to journey deep into yourself and experience the breakthroughs that will take you to the next level. She was there with me every step of the way and made everyone at the retreat feel free enough to be open, vulnerable and lead with their hearts. I highly recommend experiencing Chelsea's gifts in this setting and getting out of your comfort zone!
I first started utilizing meditation and breathwork with Chelsea, which was honestly something I always struggled with. I’m now able to sit through her entire meditation class completely attentive to my awareness. This is huge for me. I’ve also had many many amazing breakthroughs in my meditations with the guidance Chelsea provides. The breathwork was difficult for me to get comfortable with due to my body getting tingly and reacting deeply to the healing but now that I’m able to move through it in a loving capacity, I’ve realized how deeply useful the breathwork portion is. I’ve been able to release such powerful shadows in short periods of time.
I started going to her Full Moon gatherings and Cacao Ceremonies and have felt extremely supported through all transitions. The Women’s circles are deeply loving and profound, giving me a community to feel supported by.
Everything Chelsea does, she leads with her heart and comes from a space of Love. She’s done so much deep work on herself that I know I’m being supported in the best way possible. Now that I’ve started her 1:1 container, I can’t express how freeing it is. It’s only been a week and I’ve been able to make radical shifts in my mental and physical being.
If you’ve been looking for the sign- this is it. I encourage anyone seeking a deeper practice with themselves or the world around them, to begin working with Chelsea in any capacity.
I had a quantum flow and soul expansion session with Katie. Let me just say… I wanted to do this ALLLL DAY!!! The healings and exercises were far different from anything I've experienced, and I've been a healer for 20 years. It was fun, gentle, IMPACTFUL and so effective. Within a day I met someone who I had known over 20 years ago and he immediately brought up a trauma I had long forgotten about that he had helped me with. I realized that ever since then I had greatly protected myself from men energetically and even had carried some extra weight around my middle as a protective mechanism. Within a few days I dropped several pounds and was down a size in my pants. The thing is – this wasn't AT ALL what our session was about, it was just an added bonus! I've had so much clarity and energy since our session, and have been attracting things with so much ease. The integration has been incredibly gentle and I can't wait to have another session with her! If you've been pondering quantum healing with Katie don't wait… it's truly an amazing gift to give yourself!”
