Edge of Becoming
Exhale into your next chapter
October 2-8, 2026 ~
Sayulita, Mexico
Do you feel like a stranger in your own life right now?
Are you staying in a relationship, job, or identity you've already outgrown?
Do you know something in you is changing, but you can't name what yet?
You are not lost. You are in the in-between. This is a retreat for the moment after everything has changed but before you know who you are becoming.
"You come in as one person and leave as the genuine one within yourself." ~ Patti
There is a moment in life no one prepares you for.
When the relationship ends.
When the job no longer fits.
When the identity you built your life around starts to dissolve.
And suddenly... you are standing in the in-between.
Not who you were. Not yet who you are becoming.
Just here. Trying to make sense of yourself again.
Edge of Becoming is a retreat for this exact moment.
Not for when you have it figured out. But for when you are ready to stop forcing clarity and start listening for it.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN THE VOID
Most people treat the in-between like a problem to solve. They rush to fill it — a new relationship, a rebrand, a new routine — anything to feel resolved again.
That's not what this space is for.
In the void, you don't need a new identity yet. You need to actually sit in the discomfort of not knowing, without grabbing the first thing that makes the not-knowing go away.
This is where we work:
𖦹 Don't fill the space with something else, we notice the urge to, and stay anyway
𖦹 Get honest about what you're actually struggling with right now, underneath the surface story
𖦹 Ask yourself what you actually want to bring into the next chapter, instead of defaulting to what you've always brought
𖦹 Let parts of who you used to be actually finish ending, instead of dragging them into what's next
You don't leave the void by thinking your way out. You leave it by finally being still enough inside it to hear what's next.
The Transformation
You arrive feeling:
𖦹 emotionally in transition
𖦹 unsure of your next step
𖦹 mentally overwhelmed or looping
𖦹 disconnected from your body
𖦹 trying to "figure it out"
You leave with:
𖦹 clarity on your next chapter
𖦹 deeper self-trust
𖦹 grounded decision-making
𖦹 emotional release from what ended
𖦹 a sense of inner steadiness again
You don't leave with a new identity. You leave with access to yourself again.
Over 7 days in Mexico, you are guided through:
𖦹 embodied practices to reconnect with your body
𖦹 emotional release and integration work
𖦹 water and sound healing experiences
𖦹 guided reflection and inner clarity work
𖦹 nervous system grounding practices
𖦹 deep rest, nature, and space to feel yourself again
This is not about becoming someone new. It's about meeting who you already are... underneath the noise.
WHY THIS RETREAT EXISTS
We are living in a time where people are expected to move through life transitions quickly... breakups... burnout... loss... identity shifts.
But most people don't need more answers... they need space.
Space to stop performing. Space to feel what actually ended. Space to hear themselves again.
Edge of Becoming was created for that space.
Who this is for
This retreat is for you if:
𖦹 Something in your life has recently ended or shifted
𖦹 You feel stuck between your old life and your next one
𖦹 You are tired of overthinking your next step
𖦹 You feel disconnected from your own inner knowing
𖦹 You've outgrown who you used to be
𖦹 You are craving clarity, but nothing external is helping
𖦹 You know something is changing in you, but you can't name it yet
You don't need fixing. You need space to hear yourself again.
WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS DISCOVERED
"My experience at the Water Retreat was nothing short of life-changing. From the moment I felt called to attend, the synchronicities leading up to the retreat made it clear I was exactly where I was meant to be. Throughout the week, I was guided through such powerful healing work that helped me uncover and release things I didn’t even realize I had been carrying. I was able to cut energetic cords, reclaim my power, and reconnect with a deeper part of myself. The retreat guides Carla and Rebecca, created such a safe, loving, and magical space for transformation in one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Their care, intention to each activity, and wisdom made this experience incredibly special and deeply healing. This retreat is something I will carry in my heart forever. I am beyond grateful for this experience and will never forget it."
Elizabeth W. from Held By The Waters Retreat
Imagine this
Waking up feeling grounded in your body instead of overwhelmed in your mind.
Trusting your decisions without constantly second-guessing yourself.
Feeling your emotions without shutting down or pushing them away.
Moving through your life with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner steadiness.
This is what becomes available when you return to your heart.
WHY now
You don't get to choose when life hands you the in-between.
A relationship ends when it ends.
An identity stops fitting when it stops fitting.
But you do get to choose how long you stay standing in it.
Most people don't get out of the in-between by waiting it out. They wait for six more months, a new year, "when things calm down" and the in-between doesn't resolve, it just gets more familiar. You get so used to standing in the threshold that you forget you're allowed to walk through it.
This retreat happens once, on these dates, in this place, with this specific group of people who won't be in the same room again. But the real reason it's "now" isn't the dates on this page, it's that you're already in the in-between, whether you name it or not. The only real choice left is whether you sit in it alone a while longer, or with people whose whole purpose is helping you finally cross it.

Your Hosts
There's no shortage of retreats promising transformation. What's different here is that you're not being guided by one person who's arrived somewhere and is now teaching from the other side.
Carla, Rebecca, and Brittany are each walking their own in-between right now. Different chapters, different griefs, different somethings that ended but the same terrain. None of us are holding this space from above it. We're holding it from inside our own becoming, alongside yours.
That's not a lack of credibility. It's the reason we can actually be with you in this. Between the three of us, you get different lenses on the same threshold — energetic release and Akashic record work, spiritual response therapy and somatic practices, and lived experience of stepping back from an old identity to make room for what's next, plus three people who won't flinch at the mess of it, as we have been there too.
Most people standing in the in-between have already tried therapy, journaling, one more self-help book. What they haven't tried is being witnessed by three people, in three different ways, at the same time while they actually let something end.
Carla, Rebecca and Brittany's story began the way many meaningful connections do... on retreat.
Carla Jans
Energy Practitioner | Spiritual Mentor | Akashic Record Reader | Womb Reconnector | Water Wisdom Carrier
Earlier this year, I ended a nine-year relationship. I've spent the time since grieving the dreams I built inside that relationship, and grieving past versions of myself I lost somewhere along the way. Underneath the grief was an emptiness I didn't expect. Instead of rushing to fill it with a new relationship, a new plan, a new identity, I sat with it. I let it stay uncomfortable instead of solving it.
That's where the clarity actually came from. Not from forcing an answer, but from finally being still enough to hear one. Looking back at myself, I could see what was actually still important to me, versus what I'd just been carrying out of habit. And from that stillness, new dreams and visions have started coming to life, taking shape even better than I could have imagined by forcing them.
I'm not writing this from some distant "after." I'm close enough to my own in-between to remember exactly what it asks of you. And that's exactly why I can hold this space for you, not because I skipped the discomfort, but because I let it do its work, and it's already giving me back more than I knew to ask for.
Carla has been walking the path of personal and spiritual transformation with a deep devotion to helping women find their home within. She specializes in guiding souls back into their bodies to move through fear, release stored emotions and deep-seated energies, and reclaim their divine feminine power emerging in the embodied magic of who they truly are.
Her journey has taken her across continents and into the depths of healing from solo travels through Africa and South America to navigating heartbreak, chronic pain, and profound spiritual awakening.
Through it all, she has come to know that true healing begins the moment we feel safe enough to return to ourselves.

Brittany Jean-Kathleen
Intuitive Healer | Energy Alchemist | Sacred Space Holder | Embodiment Practitioner
Brittany walks the path of deep soul remembrance, devoted to guiding women back home to themselves… their bodies, their truth, and their innate inner wisdom.
Her journey has been one of profound transformation, shaped through life’s initiations… motherhood, heartbreak, personal rebirth, and the courage to continuously choose growth, even in the unknown. Through these experiences, she has cultivated a grounded, intuitive approach to healing that honours both the human experience and the soul’s evolution.
Her work weaves together Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT), intuitive channeling, and body-based energy practices to support the release of subconscious, ancestral, and energetic imprints. Each session is held as a sacred container… guided by Spirit, attuned to the body, and led by what is ready to be seen, felt, and transformed.
Brittany believes that true healing happens not through force, but through safety… when the body softens, the nervous system settles, and we are able to reconnect with our authentic essence.
Through her offerings, she creates spaces where you can release what no longer serves, reconnect with your inner power, and remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
