Janet Kingsley

Janet first ventured onto a Holotropic Breathwork® mat in 2010. Being a lifelong journeyer into the transpersonal, she knew she had found her place to be, as a breather, a sitter being witness to a breather, and as a facilitator creating and holding the setting for others to journey through their consciousness. In 2015 she was offered a place on the GTT team, first as the registrar, and then in 2020 as the office manager. July of 2017 found Janet fully certified. She fully engages with the Holotropic Paradigm as a way of embracing everyday life.

Minnesota is Janet's birth home, but Washington State is home to her soul. Outside of work, she spends her time gardening, preserving food, cooking gastric delights, collecting rocs, adoring and interacting with her family and friends, and caring for the furry four-legged children that surround her

Mike Deal was born in La Paz, Bolivia, and grew up in Latin America and on the East Coast of the United States. After discovering the better coast, he settled in Central Oregon in 2021. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Forest Service, worked in corporate America, and founded a Health Coaching business. His desire to be of service comes from life experiences seeking to improve his own wellness & wellbeing. Mike is influenced by the study of Emotional Freedom Technique (‘Tapping’), Holotropic Breathwork®, Indigenous Rituals & Traditions, contemporary therapy frameworks, new science-backed health approaches, and, more importantly, his own direct experiences. He believes health challenges are often a sign of a life that needs re-routing. In this spirit, Mike is honored to walk alongside you on your path towards healing, freedom, and ultimately, wholeness.

Details of this retreat

Holotropic Breathwork® is a rich and potent tool for the exploration and understanding of personal consciousness.

Using the breath and evocative music, the workshop group creates a supportive space where participants can access expanded states of awareness and the Inner Healer, the innate healing wisdom of consciousness within each of us.

During the workshop, participants have the opportunity to be both a breather and a sitter. While breathing, participants may have sensory, biographical, perinatal, or transpersonal experiences that provide opportunities to address unfinished business from the past, traumatic events, cycles of birth/death/rebirth, or a variety of encounters with the inner and outer worlds. As a sitter, participants will help create a safe, supportive container for their breather to journey within.
GTT-certified facilitators and GTT apprentices in training will create a welcoming and safe retreat space and will be on hand to ensure safety and lend assistance as needed.

Fox Creek Fall Music Festival, July 19, 2025

I wasn't expecting such a lovely, wooded setting, and relatively small venue. I loved it! It became a significant part of my experience in addition to listening to the bands from which earnest singing and music flowed! My only criticism was there was only one "official" lodge restroom for an expectant 100 attendees. Get a couple porta-potties next time, folks.

Exquisite beauty abounds!

I recently stayed at Fox Creek Falls for several days and it was beautiful. Every room had window that drew me in. I found myself gazing at the frosted hills, and flat lands. The views are simply exquisite and you will not be disappointed!
The main house I very spacious and cozy with a Great room that brings the most fantastic view of rolling forested hills. I had a beautiful and memorable experience!

beautiful setting

Fox Creek Falls was a beautiful, comfortable place to stay with plenty of space, light, airy rooms, and all the necessary amenities, plus some fun bonuses like the hot tub and sauna. The old logging trails were fun to navigate and I wished that I had had more time to get higher up. There are waterfalls everywhere. Penelope the dog was probably my favorite part. :)
