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.”

Who should attend?
This is a unique trip, with yoga, meditation, hiking and backpacking. What is the difference between hiking, car camping and backpacking? We do some short hikes without packs, as well as two nights car camping in a campground, with bathrooms and showers available, and with our vehicles. Backpacking is more challenging, leaving the cars and crowds behind and carrying our food and overnight equipment (backpack, tent, sleeping back, pad, etc.) on our back. Though these backpack trips are not very long or steep (3-5 miles max per day), this is not for everyone.
