You are invited to spend a glorious weekend learning powerful transformational tools and techniques of self-healing practices from three unique healers over three days at a beautiful hot springs mountain destination in colorful Colorado.
The Healers featured are Grace Tzofia, Gar Bergstedt, and Greg Hill. The three G’s got your back! Grace Tzofia is a Reiki Master with Advanced training, Shamanic Practitioner and Energy Healer and Facilitator of Ceremony. Gar Bergstedt is an Earth Magic Wizard and teacher.

Come play amongst the wildflowers, and soak in the healing waters at the magical Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs. This sacred destination also offers the generous assistance of indigenous spirits and allies to help facilitate our healing and growth for the highest good.
With the recent New Moon (7/11) in Cancer, as well as the Sun being in Cancer, we will be ultra supported to explore the subconscious depths of our emotions and feelings and allow them to inspire us to greater extents of self-healing and self-actualization.
“Physician Heal Thyself” (Luke 4:23, KJV)
This quote was originally shared in the time of the Greek philosopher Aesop. Later, it was a challenge to Jesus himself. We live in a day and age where it is most crucial to develop alignment with the self and be able to self-heal. Not only can you not heal others until you can heal yourself, but it is crucial to be able to do so in these uncertain times. This weekend healing retreat is focused on the most essential components of self-healing that we have integrated and shared with clients, colleagues, and friends throughout many communities. These skills and tools will be passed to you through experiential learning. You will learn to sense, feel, and develop acute awareness of your energy, others energy, the energy of your environment, as well as the energy of plants, animals, and minerals.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing art that induces relaxation, promotes, stress reduction, and is similar to the “laying of the hands” modality. Reiki is a form of energy healing that is founded on the premise that all of life is supported by an unseen life force energy, which flows through us and is always available. This philosophy is similar in other cultures using the terms “prana” in India or “qi” in China. The healing benefits of Reiki are multilayered in that they have a positive effect on the physical body, the emotional body, and the etheric or energy body. Reiki is administered by laying the hands on the body or by hovering the hands a few inches above the body. According to reiki.org, “The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.” In a traditional Reiki treatment, the practitioner places their hands palm down on specific energy centers of the body, with customized additional placements for each client.
Reiki is a wonderful foundational practice for self and other healing and for the development of psychic abilities and sensitivity to subtle energies. In order to practice the healing art of Reiki, one must first receive the energy of Reiki through an attunement process. The Reiki energy is passed from a Reiki Master to a student and thus one becomes part of a lineage of Reiki healers going back to the founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui. During this retreat, participants will learn about Reiki, practice Reiki, and receive their Reiki Level I Attunement from Grace Tzofia. Grace Tzofia received all three of her Usui Reiki attunements and ART (Advanced Reiki Training) from Dr. Joseph Meador of the Reiki Institute of Austin. Grace Tzofia is the fourth descendant from Dr. Mikai Usui himself.
Kind Words about Grace
– Nichols
You are a very wonderful and gifted healer, From the depths of my heart I thank you so very much For the work that you do in service and love. I’ve met a lot of healers that are not in their integrity and you are definitely aligned with your highest truth and it is a beautiful thing to see somebody holding that container for the planet, Delivering the wisdom and the Energy needed at this time.
– Nathan
I’d like to put in a good word for Grace & her intention-filled gatherings. The Plant Medicine & Dance event she held on Jan 30, simply changed my life. It is a rare & special thing to be touched with such a powerful experience, & to be re-attuned to the majestic energy consciousness living within myself, all living things, and in the Universe. In a private ceremony, I went through a most profound spiritual awakening, and it was Grace who facilitated this. It was also the intense pure energy and intention that had been set from an entire day of soul work. Many factors contributed, but her facilitation was the connecting piece. I’d highly recommend her for anyone seeking spiritual growth, soul change, and deep connection to the ancient healing traditions

I’m an energy worker. I can project as well as sense energy. I even go as far as claiming that I’m an energy junky. I just love this stuff. I’ve learned to sense the energy patterns along trails from rocks, trees and other plants. I can blast a space in light so that all darkness is shattered and I do that on a regular basis as training. I’ve learned to detach entities. I can project over distances with light energy and healing. Recently, I got a transmission that transformed my body and mind. I can now heal much faster and I’m working on other abilities. (Too bad these transmissions don’t come with manuals). My day job was as a senior software engineer and physicist. My last contract was for Bose (The headphone company). However, I’m now retired and working full time on spiritual pursuits and investing in the stock market.
I love teaching folks to sense nature from an energy point of view. I take groups on energy walks, where we sense flows, different types of energy, portals, other beings and much more. I have great fun teaching energy exercises, like transmission, blocking, shielding, transforming, etc. I also enjoy teaching Qigong. Join me in this wonderful multi-dimensional world of energy. We can have great fun.
Greg Hill is a sensitive/conscious nature loving renaissance healer. Greg has been studying and practicing a range of bodywork and body awareness practices for over 20 years. He has studied western Swedish massage, Tai massage, Tui Na and Korean bodywork, along with other practices. He has studied level 1 and 2 Reiki energy work. His latest educational journey into the Shamanic path brings his naturally intuitive and subconscious awareness more into the forefront of his offerings.
He continues to give workshops on authentic relating and has a private practice assisting individuals in clearing blocks on the physical and emotional/energetic levels in the practice of Nourishing Touch. Even though Greg began his life after high school in more of the scientific and technological arenas, a recent conversation with an old high school friend reaffirmed that they always saw Greg as “a natural healer”. Both his practice and teaching style is grounded in results while also encouraging personal preference. He understands that everyone is a unique individual and while some people love deep pressure, others don’t like it. Some people absolutely love Tai Massage, while others prefer light/energetic touch. Wherever you are at, you’ll find a flexible and healing time.
