The Butterfly Experience

An immersive weekend retreat for those ready to do the deep work.

What it is

The Butterfly Experience is an immersive weekend retreat — deep, powerful work interspersed with joyful, playful fellowship in a loving, supportive environment. Working together in large and small groups over an extended period creates shifts that reverberate profoundly through the weeks and months that follow.

Who it's for

Those ready to step more deeply into their capacity as a healer, a lightworker, a force for good in the Universe — and who want to do that work inside a pod of soul brothers and sisters.

What the experience includes

  • Opening and closing ceremonies
  • A weekend of focused, Source-led group work
  • Meals prepared and shared together
  • Evening fellowship — divination, healing tools, music, crafts
  • A general retreat outline; no two Butterflys are the same

A story from this work

"
Butterfly — such a graceful, beautiful creature. A better title would be 'Immersion'. We all go with the expectation of waiting for a healing to happen, through no exertion on our part — a miracle of sorts. Imagine my surprise to learn that I must work hard, learn well, and change my life accordingly. And standing beside me is Kaaren — smiling at me one minute, the next telling me I alone am accountable. That is a frightening yet glorious revelation. Like the butterfly, I could fly. We are warriors in our own battle for understanding and change. Kaaren is the glue, the tunnel, the door — and as to her smile, I see love, and a prayer that says: 'May the Source be with you, Butterfly.'
Linda C. · Butterfly Experience participant

Common questions

Can I work with Holistic Healing on my loved ones?

Yes, you can. In the Metamorphosis Healing Circle and the Butterfly Experience, which are both group settings, on occasion an issue shows up – unbidden – that is for the loved one of a participant, and which we are more than happy to do.  In private work, we can do the work on someone else, as well.  Please be aware that, while one’s higher Self is all about growing and learning, if the conscious self is not “on board” it will take time to filter in.  While we know that from an eternal perspective, it is done – when it will be noticeable in this realm, that is up to the individual.  In all the years I have done the work, having asked permission from the individual’s higher self to do the work, only once have I gotten a “no”, which, of course, was honored (note:  that person has since then agreed, even at the conscious level, perhaps because their spouse has been doing lots of holistic healing).

Why am I experiencing these metaphysical issues?

The loaded question!  Generally, an unprocessed experience from the past, either yours or an ancestor’s.  Most of us do not have the tools to properly deal with “negative” events.  We have been given tools on schoolwork, housecare, driving, etc., but really don’t know what to do for an experience that deeply affects us.  There are more and more books, modalities, therapies, etc. out there these days, but this is a relatively new development.  Say, for example, that you are four years old.  The dog barks, startling you while you are standing at the top of the stairs.  You then fall down the stairs, land, crying and hurt.  Your mother comforts you the best she knows, saying, “You’re ok.”  Skip forward to adulthood.  You have a fear of dogs, especially barking ones, you avoid stairs, you are in complete disconnect with your own feelings, and ambivalent toward your mother.  All because of an event that wasn’t handled properly – through no fault of your own (you were four, remember?), and no fault of your mother’s either, as she didn’t know any better.  Skip forward a generation or two.  Your child or grandchild has debilitating fears, and no idea where they came from – well, they inherited them from you!  Therefore, it has to be approached from the metaphysical perspective.  This is obviously a very simple example, but I hope you understand the concept.  Another reason is there may be an entity, Being, spirit (choose your term) that has attached to you.  I will delve into that in more depth elsewhere.
