These are three SEPARATE events, so you can choose which one fits your schedule the best. This is not a series of three.
Would you like an opportunity to receive direct support around your health or a challenging area of your life?
Bring any questions or concerns you have, which could include health, relationship, emotions, thoughts, or repetitive patterns.
The healing power of ReConnective Therapy appears to be amplified when it is done in a group setting.
In addition to the energetic support of ReConnective Therapy, these groups are also designed to bring awareness to the forces at play in your life while providing teachings and practices that support transformation.
With greater self-awareness, the work of RCT goes deeper. In our work, we have observed that the healing effect can be significantly enhanced when we conduct sessions in a group setting as opposed to one-on-one sessions. We think that the reason for this to be possible is because the healing effect is triggered by resonance. We have observed that in a group setting, not only can we trigger the resonance effect in every individual present, but all the participants can also stimulate this in each other.
In other words, it is possible that every healing process in you can stimulate a healing process in everyone else present in this event. This phenomenon can exponentially increase the healing power the more people are present. On top of this we spend about one and a half hours together and while it is not possible to provide any guarantees, the longer we are together, the higher the frequency can rise and the more healing can happen.
Each RCT Online Awareness & Transformation Group is led and facilitated by Kerstin Schoen.

We’ll spend some time closing out 2024, and dreaming into 2025.
What do you want to say goodbye to, and what kind of new year do you want to manifest?

You can read about the very first Dreaming the Dark ritual back in 1995, in this article.
HELLO, 2025!
On our final morning, we’ll do a manifestation ritual to seed and empower our dreams for 2025.
