Energy healing with a guide: sound, breath and the field

Energy work on our retreats has two hands. Lexa works through sound and breath: bowls, gong, voice and kundalini sets that let whatever has gone still in you move again. Evgenia works with the field and the family line, where the charge you carry often turns out to be older than you are.

What it is here

What we mean by energy work

In the language of this field, energy is what moves through you while you are alive and stops when something is being held. A fear that was never lived through. A resentment you swallowed. A family scenario you carry without knowing it. People feel it as heaviness, as a tiredness sleep does not touch, as a body permanently braced.

Energy work is the practice in which what has stopped begins to move again. There are hundreds of schools and hundreds of names for it. With us it is led by two people whose work we know, in ways that can be described in plain words, and with your consent at every step.

It does not replace a doctor and does not promise an outcome. What it gives, Lexa names as states: the body lets go; reserves you had forgotten you had; learning to feel your own energy and spend it on your life instead of losing it.

With Lexa

Sound and breath: energy through the body

Lexa is a sound healer and a kundalini yoga teacher. In a sound session you lie down, and the singing bowls, the gong and her voice work through vibration, bypassing the mind. It is the most passive practice of the retreat and often the deepest.

Breath is the active half. Calming techniques and more intense ones, always guided, always with the right to stop. Kundalini adds movement and mantra, and the energy in the body gets somewhere to go.

In Sedona her energy practice goes out onto the land. At the places of power the group practises rather than only looks, and on one of the days there is the Sweat Lodge with M.H. Black Wolf: darkness, fire-heated stones, steam and breath.

With Evgenia

The field and the family: energy that is not yours

Evgenia Arkhipenko reads the field. In Universal Therapy, the method of Leonid Talpis, the field shows what stands in a person and where it came from: from today's life, from the parents, or from the family line.

When the charge belongs to someone else, a mother's fear or a great-grandmother's unfinished story, the work is to see it, bow to it and return it. That is a different movement from cleansing. Nothing is scraped off. Something is given back to its owner, and the person stops carrying it.

Evgenia led our retreat on Kauai in July 2026, with breath by the water and slow work with the body, and she works with women one to one.

Sage and cleansing

What about sage, smoke and cleansing rituals

People often ask about sage and smoke cleansing. Smudging comes from the living traditions of the peoples of North America, and on our retreats we meet those traditions through a person who carries them. In Sedona M.H. Black Wolf holds the Sweat Lodge on one of the days, in the way of his people.

At home, between retreats, the cleansing we can offer is Lexa's breath and sound: three of her meditations are on this site for free.

Questions

Asked before energy work

Do I have to believe in energy for this to work?

Belief is not required. Bring one thing you are tired of carrying. The practice does the rest of the talking.

Can I do energy work if I have a health condition?

Energy work does not replace medical care and cancels no prescription. Before the retreat, tell the guide everything about your health they should know.
