Soul Empowered Healing
A space to slow down enough to hear your own knowing again. Through energy work, ceremony, intentional rest, and community, the work always points back to the same place: you.

The heart of the work
The goal is not to become dependent on another person’s answers. It is to hear yourself more clearly.
There are seasons when you do not need more information, more pressure, or another version of yourself to chase. You need room to feel what is already there.
Soul Empowered Healing creates intentional spaces for that return—spaces where the body can soften, emotion can move, intuition can get louder, and you can reconnect with the woman underneath the responsibilities and noise.
The work can be quiet or powerful. It can look like rest, energy healing, breath, ceremony, reflection, movement, or simply being witnessed without having to perform.
Nothing here asks you to hand your power away. The point is to remember what was yours all along.
Ways to work together
Each offering creates a different amount of space, but all of them are built around the same intention: helping you reconnect with your body, your intuition, and your own authority.
Private Reiki, shamanic healing, and guided meditation sessions tailored to what you are carrying right now, with space for reflection, grounding, and integration.

Founder & facilitator
Aulana Smith is a Shaman and Reiki practitioner who creates intentional spaces for people to reconnect with themselves and move through what they’re carrying.
Through honest conversation, shamanic healing, Reiki, and spiritual alchemy, she guides others in transforming what no longer serves them into deeper clarity, balance, and connection.
My role is not to tell you who to become. It is to help create the conditions where you can recognize the woman who is already there.

September 25–27, 2026 · Harvest Moon weekend
This is the season where you get to reap the rewards of your labor. Look at what you have survived, what you have learned, what you have healed, and what you have created. You are no longer the woman who began the journey.
Your harvest
To gather what is good. To give thanks for what has grown. To burn and release what is finished.
So often, we move from one challenge to the next without ever stopping long enough to recognize how much has changed within us.
This weekend is a chance to stop. To look at the woman you are today. To honor everything it took to become her. To gather the fruit of your labor. And to decide what you are, and are not, carrying with you.
Aligned with the energy of the Harvest Moon, we will gather for a weekend of release, awakening, creativity, connection, and celebration.
Like a harvest, we keep what nourishes us. We honor the wisdom, strength, love, lessons, and growth that this season has produced—and intentionally release what no longer belongs in the season ahead.
The journey
01 · Release
A harvest is as much about clearing the field as it is about what we get to keep. Through ceremony, journaling, reflection, and intentional rest, you will be invited to acknowledge what has been and surrender what is ready to go.
Forgive · Release · Surrender
02 · Recognize
Through Kundalini yoga, intentional journaling, sharing, sacred space, and Ayni Despacho, you will have room to recognize your growth, reconnect with your intuition, and meet the truth of who you are now.
Growth · Wisdom · Self
03 · Return
Integration, creative reflection, and a 30-day Return Circle help give shape to what is emerging. You leave with a clear intention for what you want to cultivate next—and support for meeting that intention in real life.

The retreat home
Private mountain home · Sylva, NC
Our retreat home rests on ten private acres in the Nantahala National Forest. It gives our small group welcoming shared space for meals and ceremony, along with a pond, pavilion, trails, and quiet places to step away and listen inward.
Every guest will have her own bed. Four shared-room spaces and two private queen-room spaces are available.
The exact arrival instructions and address will be sent directly to registered guests.
Your retreat team
Throughout the weekend, Aulana and Hyun will guide a focused rhythm of ceremony, reflection, Kundalini yoga, sound, rest, and integration—without crowding every hour.

Healing artist · Kundalini yoga · Sound · Reiki
Hyun Pak is a healing artist based in the Triangle. Through Kundalini yoga, sound, and Reiki, she helps people come home to who they actually are—so they can stop maintaining a life and start living one. Her work is an invitation into presence: to slow down, listen inward, and meet yourself where you are.
Nourished & cared for
You spend so much of your life doing, tending, giving, managing, and caring. This experience is being designed so that once you arrive, much of the tending has already been done for you.
The full moon weekend
Arrival begins Friday at 6:00 PM and the retreat closes Sunday by noon. The weekend is intentionally spacious enough for the work to land.
Friday · Release
Beginning at 6:00 PM, we settle in, share a welcome dinner, open sacred space, meet one another, set intentions, and journal together. The first evening is about arriving fully—not performing, fixing, or forcing.
Saturday · Recognize & receive
Kundalini yoga, guided reflection, quiet time by the pond and trails, shared meals, and a central Harvest Moon ceremony move us through the day. Ayni Despacho, release by fire when permitted, and one closing sound journey honor the full moon on Saturday, September 26.
Sunday · Integrate & return
We gather what the weekend has shown us, honor what we are taking home, close sacred space together, and depart by noon with a deeper connection to the woman we have become.
Intentionally intimate
Keeping the group small gives connection room to form. You can exhale. You can be quiet. You can participate without disappearing into a crowd.
You do not have to perform, impress, fix, or prove anything here. You simply arrive as you are.
You have already been growing
“To gather what is good. To give thanks for what has grown. To burn and release what is finished. To reap the fruit of your labor.”
Maybe this season stretched you. Maybe it changed you. Maybe you discovered strength you did not know you had. This retreat is a place to recognize all of it—and from that place, create what comes next.
