A two-day virtual exploration of your senses, your instincts, and the quiet knowing you’ve carried all your life.
For two afternoons, Yolessa will guide you back toward your own intuition: the instincts and senses many of us were taught to set aside. You’ll explore the Intuitive Activation approach she has shared with thousands of people over twenty years.
Live on June 27–28, 2026.Two afternoons, online, from wherever you are.
Intuition rarely lives in one place; it tends to travel. It often starts in the gut. Your gut and brain stay in constant, two-way communication through what scientists call the gut–brain axis, which is one reason instinct so often arrives first as a feeling in your belly, before a single thought.
The heart sits in the middle, as a kind of translator. The field of neurocardiology describes roughly 40,000 sensory neurons in the heart, a dense network that many traditions associate with deeper knowing. In this tradition, the heart is where you begin: opening it is the first step in everything that follows.
Here’s something easy to forget about your own body. Long before you had words, you were reading the world around you: through sensation, through feeling, through a knowing you couldn’t yet explain. That gut–heart–mind conversation was running when you were small, and it’s still running now.
This is the path Yolessa teaches. Over two calm afternoons, you’ll have the chance to understand yourself with new clarity.
Some researchers and practitioners describe a subtle field of information around the body, what some call the biofield, what older traditions called the life force. Whatever name you use, most of us have felt it: you walk into a room and sense its mood, or feel what someone isn’t saying. That sensitivity isn’t a flaw to manage. In this tradition, it’s understood as a natural human sense, and it’s the reason you’re intuitive.
Modern research and ancient practice describe the heart in surprisingly similar ways. A few examples, offered as perspective rather than proof:
You don’t have to take any of this on faith. Over the weekend, you’ll simply have the chance to experience your own attention more directly. (See the medical disclaimer below.)
Most of us have had these moments:
In this tradition, intuition isn’t treated as mystical; it’s understood as a natural human sense everyone can learn to notice. If any of this feels familiar, you already have it. What most of us were never given is a calm way to listen, without the interference.
Many of us spend years quietly questioning our path, our instincts, the difference we might make. Who am I? Why am I here? What do I do next? When life gets noisy, that quieter inner voice can get hard to hear. This calm, two-day virtual retreat is an opportunity to turn the volume back down on the noise, and to listen to yourself again.
Here’s a pattern many sensitive people recognize: you pick up something real, and before you can do anything with it, the analytical mind files it under “imagination” or “coincidence.” Day One looks gently at that filter: where it comes from and how to work with it. Many participants describe noticing a shift during the first afternoon, not as a lecture, but as something they feel for themselves.
A grounding center sits just below the navel. If you’ve practiced qigong, your body already knows it. Day Two is an opportunity to turn it into a steady practice you can return to any time, so that what you sense moves through you rather than into you. It doesn’t require travel or prior experience.
The complete five-step Intuitive Activation approach is introduced at the close of Day Two, for those who’d like to continue.
Sedona Mago Lead Instructor · 20 years of practice
Twenty years ago, Yolessa moved to Sedona, not for a weekend, but to live and practice there, and to understand what she was experiencing well enough to teach it. Before this work she was an attorney, trained to ask for evidence and to distrust mechanisms she couldn’t articulate. So she spent two decades asking questions until the practice made sense to her, then built an approach she could teach repeatably.
Her training began under an energy master in Sedona and continued through years of mentorship across North America, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan, in a lineage whose Brain Education method has been recognized in international education settings. Today she teaches as a Sedona Mago Lead Instructor, and thousands of people have moved through her programs.
Each session moves through a gentle progression; this isn’t a download of information sent home with you. It’s a guided experience designed to help you strengthen and trust your own intuition, at your own pace.
We begin in the body with a short grounding practice that sets the foundation for the weekend.
Yolessa shares the framework she teaches: how the analytical mind tends to intercept intuitive impressions, and how to gently work with that rather than be ruled by it.
Yolessa works with a participant while narrating what she notices, so the approach feels understandable rather than mysterious.
A small, like-minded group, all here for the same reason. You’ll connect in small groups on Day 1 and work in pairs on Day 2.
One gentle practice for the evening: when you notice a sensation or a knowing, simply write it down and bring it Sunday.
You arrive with what you noticed overnight; Yolessa responds to observations from the room in real time.
Many sensitive people describe absorbing others’ moods and feeling drained. Day Two explores, in this tradition’s language, a gentle practice for letting that move through you. (Education and personal experience, not treatment; see medical disclaimer.)
In breakout pairs, you’ll practice structured intuitive exercises with immediate, supportive feedback. For many people this is a first clear, trust-worthy intuitive experience.
The weekend ends with one short practice you can use on Monday morning. Then Yolessa introduces the complete five-step approach for those who’d like to continue.
She described herself as a tree with no roots: sensing for years, never quite feeling at home in herself. After working with the grounding practice, she described stopping reacting and starting to simply observe.
“I’ve learned to really be in my body more. With that, I’m more present, more able to connect, more observing and listening than just hearing.”
Difficult interactions used to leave her drained; she’d known for years she was picking up other people’s pain. With a framework that made that information useful instead of destabilizing, she described feeling steadier, observing rather than absorbing.
“It’s helped me not respond so negatively to negative interactions, understanding that people act out of their own pain, not anything personal.”
Individual experiences. Results vary.
Both days are recorded, so you’ll always have the teaching. The live sessions are where the practice and real-time feedback happen, so if you can join live, we hope you will. If you can’t make one day, the recording is there for you.
Join us live for both days. If, having taken part, you feel the experience wasn’t right for you, simply email welcome@sedonamagoretreat.org within 7 days of the retreat (by July 5, 2026) and we’ll refund you in full. No need to explain.
I’ve worked with sensitive people for twenty years. I know what it looks like to carry a gift you haven’t yet had the chance to understand: the tiredness of sensing everything in a room with nowhere to put it, the quiet loneliness of being the most sensitive person there.
You don’t have to carry it that way. Not because anything is wrong with you, but because there’s a gentler way to work with it. This weekend won’t give you everything; that’s not what it’s for. It’s meant to give you a few things that make the rest possible: a clearer understanding of your own intuition, and a steady way to hold it.
Some part of you has been waiting for permission to take this seriously. Consider this your invitation.
With warmth,
Yolessa
