Liz Gross is my wife, who has been leading retreats with me since 2014 (about 75 retreats). Liz is a gifted energy worker, intuitive healer, yoga and meditation teacher, and a great cook! She also brings her wonderful healing technologies for those interested in extra assitance during the retreat.
Liz is a gifted energy, sound and vibration healer and intuitive, and also helps people clear scar tissues and energy blocks in the body. She also teaches yoga, meditation and healing with Roy on retreats. Liz often does some of the cooking on our retreats, and is a amazing cook!
We are currently (Roy and Liz) studying the human nervous system and how to rebboot and regulate our nervous systems out of flight and flight into rest, digest, heal and awaken. There is much stress and anxiety in our world and we want to help!
Liz also helps people with her knowledge of astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys, which help people know themselves and their purpose.
“When you’re consciously in touch with the life energy within yourself, you have awareness & communication with the flow of energy that connects you to spirit. I feel very passionate about Vibrational Medicine and love working with others in this way & helping others to connect with their purpose and passion in life. Vibrational Energy Medicine brings the physical, emotional, mental, & spiritual bodies back into balance, which opens the way for rebuilding the healing systems of the body.”
Details of this retreat
Why Hot Springs, Montana?
Liz and I “accidentally” (as in guided!) discovered this little gem of a town while returning from Glacier National Park in 2021. We stopped for a quick soak, and ended up staying the night. Since then, we have been back several times, so impressed with the healing properties of the mineral water, and the kindness of the people.
The water is rated first or second in the entire world, depending on who you talk to, in certain minerals. Their motto in Hot Springs is “Limp in, Leap out!” The town itself is tiny and unpretentious. People move slow, have time to talk and connect, and are genuine. There are deer and wild turkey roaming the streets!
While the town is nothing fancy, the residents are genuine, and our Wildlife Lodge is comfy, clean and awesome. There are several room options (see below).
For soaking, we have a few options. There is a hot tub on the property for our exclusive use (non chlorinated, natural water). Even better, the hot mineral baths are right across the street at the historic Symes Hotel. You will have free passes for the week. We will also visit a couple other healing water mineral pools in the area.
What will we do?
It is estimated that 80% of chronic disease conditions could be alleviated with proper health care and knowledge of healthy living patterns. This week will help prepare you to take good care of yourself and your family.
This will be our fourth retreat to Hot Springs. The retreat is a combo of soaking-relaxing, body movement, and important ane timely health teachings & education. Hot Springs is an awesome spot to just hang out, slow down, and soak, heal, detoxify, learn, rest and rejuvenate. To assist your healing, we will lead daily slow flow body movement and yoga classes, lead some prayerful meditations, teach a daily workshop (nutrition, detoxification, healing, holistic teeth care, cancer prevention, etc.), while still leaving time for the precious hot springs soaks.
We will also have some wonderful healing options: NeurOptimal Brain Training technology, Rapid Release (for clearing scar tissue and tight muscles), Biopulsar readings (to see your real time chakra and aura ratings), and life coaching. Extra fee for these options.
For those who want to “do” a bit more, we will also take a one hour drive to the Bison Range. There is also short hikes to a great view of the town and valley. We also learn some HIIT (High intensity interval training), a 10 minute, fun, efficient workout that is easier than it sounds!
