THE THRESHOLD

Death, Grief & Becoming

 

26-28 June 2026 Retreat

at Raven Crest Botanicals

 

Where we honor what’s ending and step into what’s becoming

 

Reserve Your Place

You’re not who you were…

but you’re not fully anchored in what’s next.

Something is shifting.

Maybe you feel it in your body before you can name it.
A quiet disorientation.
A sense that the way you’ve been moving no longer fits.

Maybe it’s been unraveling for a while.

An identity.
A relationship.
A way of being.
A version of you that no longer holds.

And even if you can feel what’s ending…
you may not fully know what’s emerging yet.

That space in between?

That’s the threshold.

Most people try to rush through this part. 

They try to think their way out of it.
Push forward.
Find clarity.

Especially if you’re someone who is used to holding everything together.
For your clients.
Your family.
Your work.

But this isn’t something to solve.

This is something to be with.
To honor.
To allow.

This retreat exists because…

We are always in cycles of ending and becoming.

In cycles of change, of impermanence.
Even when part of us tries to hold things in place.

But there are very few spaces where you are supported in honoring what is ending, witnessing what is shifting, and allowing what is becoming to emerge.

Without rushing.
Without fixing.
Without bypassing.

Most people move through these thresholds alone.
Quietly holding it together while something deeper is asking to be felt.

This is a space where you don’t have to do that.

Imagine Three Days Where…

 

You wake up and your first instinct isn’t to reach for your phone.

You step outside and the air feels different.

The first sounds you hear are birds, frogs, bees,
the quiet hum of the land.

You notice your body before your thoughts.

There is nothing to solve.
Nothing to hold together.

You’re just here.

You sit with others who understand what it feels like to be in-between.

You say something out loud
you haven’t been able to name before.

You feel it move.
Not all at once, but enough.

You spend time in silence
without needing to fill it.

You begin to trust what’s unfolding.

You can hear the quiet voice within,
and recognize it as your own.

And for the first time in a while…
you don’t feel like you have to carry it all on your own.

THE THRESHOLD

Three days held by the forested land of Raven Crest Botanicals,
as you soften into what is ending and create space for what is becoming.

A space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and gently process
what is moving through you, supported as you cross into your next chapter.

This is not about becoming someone new overnight.
It’s about learning how to be with transformation in a way
that is grounded, embodied, and real.

This is not therapy.
And it’s not about fixing you.

Grief is not a problem to solve.
It’s something to recognize.
To honor.
To sit with.

You will not be pushed beyond your capacity.
You will be supported in staying present with what is here.

WHAT SHIFTS

This is not about becoming someone new.
It is about what remains…
when you stop holding everything on your own.

When you slow down enough to feel what is here.

The body softens.
The noise begins to thin.

What once felt urgent loosens its grip.
Stillness returns.

Clarity comes back quietly.
Discernment, without force.

Not because you figured it out,
but because something in you settled.

What you have been carrying begins to release.

Not all at once.
But enough to make space.

You begin to honor what is ending
without turning away from what is becoming.

And something shifts in how you meet yourself.

A softening.
A kind of mercy.

Less urgency to fix.
More willingness to stay.

You leave with a deeper clarity.
Not loud. Not forced.

But steady.
Grounded.

A clearer sense of what is yours to hold,
and what is ready to be set down.

And maybe, for the first time in a while…

You begin to listen.

WHAT WE'LL MOVE THROUGH

The weekend follows a natural rhythm.

There are guided experiences,
and space in between them.

You won’t be moving from one thing to the next all day.

You’ll have time to feel, process, and integrate what’s unfolding.

Across the weekend, you’ll be supported through:

Guided Somatic Practices

Gentle breathwork and movement to soothe the nervous system and help your body process grief and emotional weight safely.

Hypnotic Journeys & Meditation

Access deeper layers of your inner world, and begin to gently rewrite the internal narratives that shape how you see yourself, your past, and what’s possible.

Ritual & Ceremony

Intentionally acknowledge endings, honor what has been, and create space for what is shifting and beginning to emerge.

Becoming & Integration

Gently explore who you are becoming on the other side of loss and change. Create space for new ways of being, deeper self-trust, and a more authentic expression of yourself to emerge and take shape.

Sharing & Witnessing Circles

Sometimes, our grief just needs to be witnessed. Be seen, heard, and held in your experience without needing to explain, perform, or hold it all together. Learn to be present with what is, without fixing it.

Gratitude & Offerings

Practices to reconnect with the Earth in sacred reciprocity; honoring the unseen, and cultivating a deeper sense of meaning, reverence, and connection.

Grounding in Nature 

Plenty of beautiful spaces in nature to stretch out, relax, and just be. Support nervous system regulation, grounding, and a deeper reconnection to the natural cycles of change and renewal.

Integration Time 

Where nothing is asked of you; allowing space for rest, reflection, and for the deeper shifts to settle and take root.

There is no pressure to perform or participate in a certain way.

You are supported in moving at your own pace.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

Lindsey Guttilla is a medium, death doula, grief educator, spiritual mentor, and hypnotherapist who works at the intersection of death, healing, and transformation.

She supports individuals navigating profound life transitions — including grief, loss, illness, and identity shifts — helping them move through the thresholds of what is ending and what is becoming.

Her work is grounded in both lived experience and years of guiding others through complex, layered processes of change.

Through intuitive perception, somatic awareness, and deep presence, she creates spaces where people can be witnessed, supported, and gently guided back to themselves.

She does not rush the process.
She does not bypass what is surfacing.

She meets you where you are,
and walks with you from there.

THE LAND

Raven Crest Botanicals is a working medicinal herb farm on
325 acres of beautiful land in upstate New York.

There is a quiet to this place that you feel almost immediately.

Not because anything dramatic happens.
But because your body starts to slow down.

You’ll notice it in small ways.

The sound of water moving through the creek.
The way the light shifts through the trees in the late afternoon.
The absence of constant noise.

There is space here.

Space to walk.
Space to sit.
Space to not be “on.”

You can move through the gardens,
rest by the pond,
or simply lie on the earth
and let your system settle.

Nothing is required of you here.

And then, something begins to soften.

Not because you forced it.
Because your body finally has the space to.

THE RHYTHM

This retreat is intentionally spacious.

We begin Friday afternoon and close Sunday.

There is no rushing.
No pressure to keep up.

Time opens here.

You’re not moving from one thing to the next —
you’re moving with what is present.

There is space to rest.
To step away.
To follow what your body needs.

This is where the deeper shifts happen.

WHAT PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT OUR RETREATS

There’s something that happens here that’s hard to fully explain... but it’s felt.

This space, this land, and the way this work is held…
it stays with people long after they leave.

“I’ve done a lot of healing retreats and journey work, but nothing has ever touched me the way this did. Lindsey holds space in a way that is both incredibly grounded and deeply intuitive. I felt seen in a way I didn’t even realize I needed. It wasn’t about fixing anything... it was about finally having space to be with what was there, without pressure. Something shifted in me that weekend that I’m still integrating.”

— Jesse L.

“There is something truly special about Raven Crest. The land itself feels alive, supportive, and deeply calming. Being there allowed my nervous system to settle in a way it hasn’t in years. Between the trees, the quiet, and the energy of the space, it felt like I could finally exhale and just be."

— Lauren B.

“Lindsey has a way of guiding you without ever forcing anything. Her presence is steady, intuitive, and incredibly safe. I was able to access parts of myself I had been avoiding for a long time, but it never felt overwhelming. It felt supported. I left feeling clearer, lighter, and more connected to myself than I have in a long time.”

— Danielle M.

“Absolutely stunning! Nothing compares to being on this land. It’s not just beautiful, it’s regulating. The trees, the quiet, the space. It changes how you feel in your body within hours. I didn’t realize how dysregulated I was until I finally felt calm again.”

— Joshua E.

“This retreat met me exactly where I was. I came in feeling like I was in between versions of myself. I felt lost and stuck. The space allowed me to honor what I was letting go of while also gently opening to what’s next. It wasn’t rushed. It wasn’t forced. It was exactly what I needed.”

— Monica D.

“I’ve been in Lindsey’s mentorship and attended her retreats, and what stands out is how she holds space. There is no pressure to be anything other than where you are. That level of feeling seen, accepted, and understood allowed me to actually drop in and do the work in a way I haven’t been able to anywhere else.”

— Jennifer P.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

This is for you if you find yourself in a moment of transition,
where something in your life is shifting, ending, or asking to change.

If you feel in-between…
no longer who you were,
but not fully anchored in what’s next.

If you’ve been holding a lot
for your clients, your family, your work,
and you’re ready to have space where you don’t have to hold it all alone.

If you’re moving through grief in any form,
loss, identity shifts, life transitions, or the quiet letting go of a version of yourself.

If you’re craving clarity, but not through force.
Through slowing down, listening, and reconnecting with yourself.

If you want to be supported in a way that is grounded,
honest, and deeply human, not performative or surface-level.

If you’re open to being present with what is here,
rather than trying to rush past it.

If you feel the pull toward this…
even if you can’t fully explain why.

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…

This is not for you if you are looking for a quick fix
or a way to bypass what you’re feeling.

If you want someone to give you answers
without being willing to sit with your own process.

If you are seeking clinical therapy or acute crisis support.
This is a supportive space, but not a replacement for therapy or medical care.

If you are not open to slowing down
or being present with what is unfolding.

If you are not willing to take responsibility
for your own experience within the space.

If you’re unsure, you are always welcome to reach out.

HELD BY THE LAND

Raven Crest is the kind of place where something in you begins to shift, without effort.

 There is a quiet here that you don’t have to create.
A steadiness you can feel as soon as you arrive.

Forest, open sky, medicinal gardens, and spaces designed for rest, reflection, and presence.

This is a place where your nervous system can settle.
Where you can step out of the noise and back into something more natural, more grounded.

Take your time here.
Walk the land.
Sit in stillness.
Let yourself be held by the space as much as the work itself.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE EXPERIENCE

Mornings begin slowly, with gentle somatic movement, breathwork, and guided meditation or hypnotic journeys — the body waking before the mind.

Afternoons open into spaciousness.
Time to walk the land, sit in stillness, rest, or wander through the gardens and surrounding nature at your own pace.

Evenings soften into connection and reflection; through ritual, quiet integration, or simply being together as the day settles.

You’ll stay in thoughtfully held spaces across the land, from the cozy Mullein House to secluded woodland cabins or camping beneath the trees.

Falling asleep to the sounds of the forest.
Waking to light moving through the leaves.

This is not just where the retreat takes place.
It’s part of what makes the work possible.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

A beautiful and comfortable stay on the land, with nourishing meals prepared by the on-site farm chef from Friday evening through Sunday lunch.

Time and space to rest, explore, and be; with full access to the land throughout the weekend.

All retreat sessions, practices, and materials are included.

You’ll also receive a custom hypnosis and meditation album recorded by Lindsey to support your integration after the retreat, so the work continues beyond your time here.

If you register before April 15, you’ll receive a curated apothecary gift bundle from Raven Crest Botanicals.

Everything is designed to support you in softening, settling, and fully arriving into the experience.

There are times in life when something is clearly shifting.

You can keep trying to move through it on your own.
Or you can step into a space designed to hold you inside it.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

You don’t need to be “ready.”

You just need to be willing to meet yourself here.

If something in you is responding to this,
that is enough.

You don’t have to do this part alone.
