1st Annual St. Michael’s Retreat  

1st Annual St. Michael’s Retreat On November 7th & 8th, SHEALY International™ hosted the 1st St. Annual Michael’s Retreat. The retreat was held at the Harbourtowne Resort located on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. People attended from as far away as San Francisco, California. The group was a mixture of novices, SHEALY™ friends, and masters of various types of disciplines…coming together for the purpose of experiencing transformational energy medicine. Saturday began with Kina Nima™ exercises led by the creator of this discipline SHEALY™ Healy. The group then participated with another unique technique developed by SHEALY™…group channeling. It was then back to the mats for a second round of Kina Nima™ exercises led by SHEALY™. After a leisurely lunch break, the group was introduced to the magical energy of “toning” led by Ruth Pacini Holt…followed by a discussion on the “Wheel of Life” led by Marjorie Mundy. The afternoon ended on an exciting note as SHEALY™ channeled information in the form of a “group reading”.

Saturday evening was reserved for our “Energy Celebration” kicked off by SHEALY™ calling in the “four corners”. Noted drummer and spiritual leader Eric White* led the balance of the evening. Eric started the group out with Shamanic drumming as attendees lay still on their mats enthralled by the vibrational sensations. This was followed by African drumming, African dance, native songs, master toning and Qi Gong moves…all to further the opening of energy centers within the body. All participants were given a drum or other type of native instrument to join in the fun! Afterwards, all were invited to play one of the many “special drums” played by Eric.

Sunday was once again kicked off with Kina Nima™ exercises led by SHEALY™…followed by a profound experience as each member was placed in the center of a circle so that the group could send them vibrational healing via toning that had been learned the prior day. After more Kina Nima™ work, the group was treated to a lovely lunch. The final hours of the retreat were spent with the entire group riveted as SHEALY™ once again channeled a “group reading”. In the words of SHEALY… “I am grateful for the human beings of the curious persuasion who came together without expectations of a miracle this past November 7th and 8th on the small East Coast peninsula of St. Michaels in Maryland. With nothing more than the love of their hearts, the warmth of their hands and a program of discover introduced, they emerged into “one energy of happiness”. Ruth Holt, Marjorie Mundy and I took hold of the magic of source energy and guided individuals toward an experience that was profound. Words do not do justice to the light, tone, energy and emotion of the event.

I was happy to introduce the group to Kina Nima™, a meditational movement discipline that allows an opening of the spirit and body energy. Throughout the weekend we enjoyed Shamanic drumming, African dance, insightful readings and healings all combined with a lavender-like bliss that I keep with me always. Needless to say…miracles happened! Blessings ……Shealy” Nancy B. Wilmington, DE “You promised a life-changing experience…and you delivered!” Gordon M. San Francisco, CA “Saturday was great…not one lull. However, Sunday was profound!”
