How the healing process works:

  • Brett asks intuitive questions to gently surface the source of your issue, often stemming from childhood.
  • You repeat guided affirmations that release old pain from your body and mind, open your heart, and help you feel more light, uplifted and empowered.
  • As one person lets go, others start releasing as well. Music, movement & meditation support the transformation in a gentle, loving way.

“Divine light fills you like a caterpillar in its chrysalis and enables you to open up and evolve into a beautiful monarch butterfly.”

- Nicole Riley, Event Planner, PA

“As a clinician, it was impressive feeling my own stress lift out of my body."
- Gerri DeBenedetto, LCSW

Group Structure 

  • The group is arranged in a carefully spaced circle. Participants can sit in a chair or backjack, or lay down on a yoga mat with a blanket and pillows.>

Discovery Phase

  • Brett asks questions to quickly surface the original memories at the source of your pain. For example; if you are experiencing stress with your spouse, often the pattern stems from not receiving the love you wanted as a child from one of your parents. For years these older memories have been buried deep in our subconscious and make every day stress overwhelming. As the original memory surfaces participants feel tension arise in their body, then they raise their hand and are guided through the release phase.

Release Phase 

  • Brett leads the group through easy-to-follow affirmations he intuitively receives in the moment to release tension from the body, mind, and original memory. Imagine a simple game of “Simon Says” for stress relief. These affirmations hold the opposite energy, frequency and vibration of the pain, and reconnects the individual with their higher-self and energy source. During this phase participants release deep layers of emotional pain and feel powerful waves of self-love throughout their body, often describing warm tingling sensations, suddenly feeling lighter and having wide open space where there was tension.

The miracles that happen have to do with the healing energy your spirit has been waiting to bring you. My favorite part of the work is witnessing waves of unconditional self-love heal a persons body from the inside out. You are forever reconnected with your essence as the experience becomes part of who you are, you own it and can access it again and again.

I do my very best to get out of the way, to let your spirit guide me in what to say to release the old pain from your body, mind and soul. Since 1999, I've been working with this healing energy and learning from it. For almost 25 years I've been honing my ability to hear and feel your pain while listening to your spirit how to heal it.

Music, movement and meditation help anchor the emotional transformation within the body. 

Our gentle morning Qi-Gong helps ground in the feeling of being safe in our own skin. This helps participants become present as the emotional healing work begins.

Our evening session uses simple movements that build with a sequence of uplifting songs that bring us into a fun state of free-form dancing. The experience reconnects us with joy and happiness. 

All movement sessions are optional for retreat participants.  

Meditation is pavement for the peaceful path, a tether to our source, that helps us release attachment to the material world and stay in-touch with our center.

Our Guided Meditations align the psyche with quickly releasing tension from the body. Our cells are ready to let go while the mind requires some help to do so. 

After attending an in-person retreat you have a complimentary 6 months Stress Is Gone Membership that includes:

  • 3 Live Meditation Classes per week
  • 2 Live Movement Classes per week
  • 1 Live Training per week
  • 1 Live Coaching Call per month
  • Replays + Teaching Libraries
  • The Masterclass / Workbook / Mobile app
  • Access to our growing SIG community of like-minded people that support one another throughout the journey.

This retreat is for anyone overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or traumatic memories and is ready to let go. This work helps you process and heal the most painful events of your life. You will be in a safe place and must be willing to answer Brett's discovery questions and repeat the releasing affirmations to heal your pain.

If you're feeling any of these, this Stress Is Gone Retreat is definitely for you:

  • Emotional pain from heartache or lost loved ones
  • Things feel out of your control
