Ready to set your soul on fire?

The word Alignment, from the Alignment Essentials® perspective, refers to the Mind, Body, Breath and Spirit. Our live wellness retreats expand on this concept and allow you to find serenity and peace to clear your mind, become focused and discover who you are.

Join us at the 600-acre Flying W Ranch in Tionesta, Pennsylvania in the peaceful Allegheny Mountains. Quiet your mind, make connections that last a lifetime, feel like you belong, and know you are not alone on your journey.

About

Alignment Essentials® has been hosting exclusive unique wellness retreats since 2016. As the world and needs of individuals evolve, so have these retreats. In 2024, we were called to incorporate Shamanic Healing and Wellness. Shamanic healing is an ancient spiritual practice found in many cultures worldwide, aimed at achieving balance and harmony within an individual and their environment.

Set against the peaceful backdrop of Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountains, this holistic wellness retreat offers a journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation with a touch of shamanic wisdom. Embracing the healing power of nature, participants will engage in activities designed to align the mind, body, and soul, including guided meditations, nature walks, gentle movement sessions, and mindful practices.


The retreat also weaves in traditional shamanic elements like drum circles and grounding rituals, allowing guests to reconnect with the earth and deepen their inner awareness. Each day offers time for solitude and a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Embrace a weekend of wellness, reflection, and transformation in the timeless serenity of the Alleghenies.


This small intimate retreat provides a safe place for you to embrace your inner Warrior and fly to new heights. Led by Shamanic Healer, Jani Roberts, will allow you to connect to Mother Earth and experience rituals and ceremonies that aid you in achieving optimal healing and wellness.

Accommodations : The Flying W Ranch

Accommodations are not included in the retreat pricing.

Four upper cabins (12 people) are held for Alignment Essentials® until February 1, 2025.

We felt the need to remove accommodations from the payment structure in order for attendees to have more flexibility on where they stay - whether that is in one of the Flying W Cabins, bunkies or camp sites. Attendees also have the flexibility to stay at an Airbnb nearby. 

Opening up more options, allows you to expand your ability to have more control over your experience. 

Each cabin has two private bedrooms, one three piece bathroom, and a common living area with futon, a kitchen area (including fridge, microwave and stove) and magical views overlooking the ranch right from the porch. 

  • You must reserve your cabin directly with Flying W Ranch by calling 814-463-7663. They require a 50% deposit upon booking. When you call, state it's for the AE Retreat
  • Cost per cabin in $175 +taxes per night ($300 +taxes for 2 nights). You can have up to four people in a cabin. Arrange with Warrior sisters who you would like to room with. If you are new we would be more than happy to connect you with someone amazing. 
  • Cabins can accommodate up to four people but sleeps 3 comfortably (2 beds in private bedrooms plus 1 futon in the common area).

what participants are saying

I FELT FREE

Wellness Retreat: 2020 was my very first Live Retreat. I cannot put into words how amazing it truly was, especially during the pandemic. Activities such as hiking, horseback riding, campfires, stargazing at night, to the Warrior workouts, sunrise Warrior® Tai Chi Yoga, pet therapy, I felt free, connected. I will never forget this amazing experience and cannot wait until Retreat 2021!

Sherry

TRULY AMAZING

Wellness Retreat: AE retreat is so great for the body, mind, and soul. After attending 4 retreats, I can say it's one of the best experiences I've ever had with the most amazing people. It’s truly amazing.

BLOWN AWAY

Wellness Retreat: I attended my first retreat in August of 2019 and was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the experience! The acceptance from day 1. The energy was magical. The people all spilling over with love and appreciation gave me hope and a sense of belonging. I found like-minded, lifetime friends there.

Gwenda

EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS!

From the glorious Flying W Ranch, to the gracious employees & family members, to the food, the adorable cabins, the swag, the fabulous workouts, the epic hikes, and self exploration activities, to the great campfires, the fun shopping, to Captain, the Wonder Dog, and to the best of all--Jani, our host, the retreat was spectacular. It was a life changing experience you won't want to miss!

Rhonda

JUST WHAT I NEEDED

Wellness Retreat: I felt at peace, and grounded for the first time in many months. 2020 has been a year of great personal loss, along with the stress we all are feeling about this pandemic and the direction of our country. This experience helped me to look inside and find my strength to focus, and move forward. Just what I needed! It was awesome! Thank you.

SPARKED MY INNER WARRIOR

Wellness Retreat: My favorite part was the feeling of being a part of a community again. Waking up early with purpose after completing the Warrior® Tai Chi Yoga class. Honestly I feel like joining this retreat sparked my inner warrior.

Michelle

FOREVER CONNECTED

Wellness Retreat: I attended my first retreat in 2019. It was completely out of my comfort zone as I wouldn’t know anyone there and I wasn’t even sure what I had signed up for! The energy felt vibrant and more apparent. The relationships that are made with other Warriors feel like friendships from the fourth grade- they are always there to support you without judgement, and although you may not see each other often, the connections will last forever.

ETCHED IN MY MEMORY

Wellness Retreat: I was introduced to AE by my cousin in March 2019. We decided to attend AE Retreat that July. Those 5 days were some of the best of my life. I knew I belonged from the moment I arrived. 2019 Retreat - I rolled down a hill for the first time in my life. It was my idea, spontaneous as could be, and while I still wish I had a picture/video of it, the experience is etched in my memory, I will always remember the Ranch, Retreat, My Tribe, my Very First MM and MY ROLL DOWN THE HILL!

Anita

TWO WORDS

Wellness Retreat: I can sum it up in a couple words: Amazing and Magical!

COMMUNITY

MAGICAL EXPERIENCE

Wellness Retreat: Retreat is the most magical experience!! Being surrounded by the absolute beauty of nature, like-minded people, animals, and pure love and acceptance is so incredibly healing and empowering at the same time. Every year I attend I grow more as a person, and the friendships I have made at these experiences are cherished and life-long. I look forward to retreat so much every year and can’t imagine a summer without it!!!

Jen

NO WORDS

Wellness Retreat: There really are no words for this live experience. I look forward to it all year. Each and every retreat results in a new self awareness and all who attend inspire me. Whether we are hiking, horseback riding, chillin’ by the campfire or experiencing Warrior Tai Chi Yoga at sunrise I feel more connected to Source and myself there than any other place on the planet. These mountains are special and call to me and the unique group of welcoming souls who attend are on a similar journey. I always leave the AE experiences inspired to live my purpose.

BEST TIME OF MY LIFE

Wellness Retreat: I have been unable to put into words what the experience meant to me; personally, professionally and spiritually. Warriors are a special breed and when connections are made they are made forever. Best time of my life, without a doubt. Can’t wait to be back next year.

Kim

LIFE-CHANGING

Wellness Retreat: This retreat was life-changing for me in that I was welcomed with open arms into the tribe family and I felt as though I belonged and was home. The activities were empowering and transformational in my journey. The Warrior Tai Chi Yoga at sunrise is an experience that I will always cherish because I felt the doorway to the future opening up for me.
