About the Women's Retreats
HISTORY:
Started in 2009 The Women's Spiritual Retreats is a "must attend" event in Sarasota. Every Winter, women come from across the US, Canada, and Scotland to be part of these extraordinary women's gatherings in Southwest Florida. Past attendees say these retreats, "Enhance or change their lives; create a sacred connection with spirit; inspire and enrich existing spiritual practices; make complex topics easy to understand and assimilate; and offer valuable tools and practices that can be used in daily life."

WHERE HELD:
The spiritual retreats give women a place to get away from their normal routines, and to unwind for three days with like-minded women in a beautiful country setting in southwest Florida. DaySpring Retreat Center sits on 96 acres along the banks of the Manatee River, It offers nature trails, a large Chartres labyrinth, an old tin-roofed chapel in the woods, and an open-air stained glass oasis near the river. There are classrooms, several conference rooms and guest accommodations with double occupancy, and a limited number of single rooms.
WHAT'S COVERED:
Each Retreat covers teachings in Living a Conscious Spiritual Life. Material is presented using slides, videos, lectures, spiritual practices, and meditations, all of which contribute to the theme. You'll experience inspiring guided meditations; you'll be taught advanced esoteric practices, and, as previous attendees tell us, you will reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been long dormant. A typical day begins with a morning walk, and breakfast at 8. Sessions begin at 9 with a break for lunch around 12. We resume at 1 pm in the afternoon and continue till about 4:00 pm.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Retreats are held at DaySpring. We offer single day retreats and at times, 3-day retreats which include 2 overnight stays, single or double occupancy, and meals starting at lunch on Friday through lunch on Sunday, a gift bag and an original 50 page book covering the material and theme presented. Snacks, coffee and teas are provided during the day. The cost depends on the accommodation selected. To register or for more information, please contact Jo Mooy at [email protected] Pre-registration is required.

RETREAT TRIBES 1-8
Eight Tribes of women were formed over 14 years of Retreats. They return annually to spend a weekend together in spiritual pursuits, learning new practices, enjoying each other's company, and catching up after a year away. They created Puja blessings, did Forgiveness work, expanded their minds with Quantum Physics relationship to spirituality. Sunday was kept sacred as Khata scarves were given out and we created the Vesica Piscis. In 2018 ALL the Tribes gathered as one in sacred ceremony at the DaySpring Labyrinth. The day included a 20 minute film of the highlights of the past retreats. In 2020 COVID halted the in-person retreats. The Retreat was recorded and released on a private channel to the women who registered for it. We're back now with in-person retreats. |
THE WOMEN'S SPIRITUAL RETREATS
2022 The Soul's Journey
Reincarnation, Near Death Experiences, Life Between Lives
with Patricia Cockerill & Jo Mooy
Presented Online in Three Video Segments
This retreat follows the sojourn a soul takes from its beginning as a spark of Source Energy to its many incarnations. The Retreat was developed from the works of Drs. Michael Newton and Helen Wambach who each spent 30+ years researching over 13,000 cases of Life After Death. The exceptional studies from the Univ. of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies were also researched for inclusion in this Retreat. Ultimately, the journey evolves to recognizing spiritual consciousness through the teachings of Vedanta.
The material is presented with slides and each segment is followed by a meditation addressing that segment. The book, The Soul's Journey is available for purchase with this Retreat. This retreat is recorded and available now.

Mastering the Practices
with Patricia Cockerill & Jo Mooy
Presented Online in Short Video Segments
Only available to students who attended 2020 Retreat
Due to ongoing concerns with Covid-19, the annual Women's Spiritual Retreat will be presented in a different format. Instead of an all-day in person Retreat, the Retreat is conducted in shorter recorded video segments.
The Advanced Practices presented at previous retreats are not well understood, and in many cases, not being done as instructed. Two of the most powerful teachings of 2020 - The Garden of Eden and Transforming Emotions - need further review and actual live practice. Therefore, this Retreat will spend much more time on them and other selected teachings to make sure they are well understood and used properly. These practices are highly advanced and not taught in other venues. They work with current world situations (or personal ones) that will empower individuals to overcome negativity and rise above their perceived limitations.
The Retreat will be presented LIVE in multiple segments and then Video-Recorded so participants will have a secure link to the teachings that they can watch over and over. The meditations are also included as free downloads from a secure link. To register or for more info please contact [email protected]

There's a constant grind of day to day news and social media posts that cause you to square your shoulders and prepare for the fight.

Re-Write Your Story - BE IN BARBADOS!
Creating the Reality You Want
Two-Day Retreat Seminar with Patricia Cockerill & Jo Mooy
We tend to blame everything or everyone else when things don't work out in our lives, failing to understand that our pre-existing beliefs prevent us from experiencing the real vision we want in our lives. The difficulty is understanding that the true capabilities of conscious creation requires you to undo habits of unconscious creation. Generally, most people are completely unaware of the negative chatter in the mind that derails the best of intentions. Techniques and practices taught by an Ethiopian Mystic who trained his disciple Neville Goddard are now proven by Quantum Physics. These techniques will create the "ground" for understanding and achieving your personal vision of reality. Putting yourself into the role of "creator" changes everything about this work!
TESTIMONIALS: "Being in Barbados changed my life! I found that I control my destiny!" - "Whenever I'm in doubt, I recall what you taught, I go to Barbados, and change the outcome! " - "You have no idea how many lives you've touched and changed with these teachings. I see the connection in everything around me because you brought to us, Be In Barbados!" - "You planted seeds in me that are growing deeply." - "Your work and your teachings inspire and lift one's spirit. You do this with such love for your students."
