Awaken Your Inner Alchemist. Come Home to Yourself. Rise Through the Elements.
If you’re a woman who feels stretched thin, disconnected from your own intuition, and quietly carrying overwhelm you haven’t set down in a long time, then join Leona Douglass and Rev. Dr. Ellen L. Mosti for an intimate two-day women’s retreat where renewal meets ritual, and self-love becomes sacred power.
Set at the Lightness1All Private Villa in Venice, Florida, this nourishing weekend is designed to guide you back to your most grounded, radiant self—through the elemental forces of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
Whether you’re craving deep emotional release, spiritual renewal, or simply unhurried time to rest and reconnect with yourself…
This is your invitation to RISE.

The Experiences, Explained
Paper Crafting: Future Self Card-Making
Create a handmade greeting card with rubber stamps, ink, and paper, then write a loving message from your future self to be mailed to you after the retreat.
Seashell Energy Healing
A gentle, heart-centered energy healing experience using seashells to support relaxation, emotional release, self- love, and inner harmony.
ThetaHealing
ThetaHealing is a gentle meditation technique that shifts your brainwave pattern into the deeply relaxed theta state. In this calm, receptive space, limiting beliefs and stuck emotional patterns can surface and soften—making room for clarity, ease, and a renewed sense of alignment.
Cacao Ceremony
A heart-opening ritual using ceremonial-grade cacao to gently expand presence, connection, and emotional openness in a circle of women.
Sound Healing
Crystal bowls and resonant instruments wash over you with soothing vibration—on land and, during the floating sound bath, on the water—to quiet the mind and reset your nervous system.
Ecstatic Dance
Free-form, judgment-free movement that helps you shake loose stagnant energy and move into joy and flow—no choreography, no “right way.”
Fire Ceremony
An evening gathering at the fire pit where you release what you’re ready to let go of, symbolically returning it to the flames.
Somatic Energy Release
A gentle, body-based process that works with the unconscious mind to release stored stress and tension, leaving you feeling aligned, free, and reconnected with your body’s own wisdom.
Huna Healing
A remote pre- or post-retreat energy healing session rooted in Hawaiian wisdom to support balance, clarity, forgiveness, and deeper connection with your heart and higher self.
Testimonials
Ellen has a remarkable gift. She’s patient, insightful, warm, and deeply compassionate. She created a space where I felt completely safe to let go of things that had been weighing me down for a long time.
l…wholeheartedly recommend Ellen to anyone who feels ready to release what’s holding them back and move forward with greater freedom. Working with her has been truly life-changing.
I had a Somatic Energy Release session with Leona…Throughout the process, she guided me with great presence and sensitivity, allowing me to move through the different elements that emerged during the session.
I was able to connect with something deeply meaningful, and I appreciated how the emotional and energetic aspects were beautifully integrated. It was a valuable experience — especially as an opening for those who wish to explore deeper therapeutic work later on.
In one session with Dr. Ellen, she released shame, guilt, anger, sadness, and the belief that it was dangerous to be herself. She left feeling courage, joy, freedom, and safety in expressing her true self.
An extraordinary experience. [Leona’s] presence, intuition, and ability to facilitate deep energetic release are remarkable. I felt a level of calm and clarity that I haven’t experienced in years. If you are carrying stress, trauma, or simply feel “off,” this work is worth exploring. I left lighter, clearer, and deeply grateful.
