Discover the deeper story your life has been telling all along.

 
February 5–7, 2027 at The Inlet Farmhouse, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia 

A three-day immersive workshop with Dr. Carole MacInnis & Anne Berube

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

Every one of us carries a story. Some parts are easy to tell. Others remain hidden for years. Not simply because they are painful, but because, over time, we begin to believe they define who we are.

The experiences we've lived through—and the meaning we've made from them—shape our relationships, our confidence, our choices, and what we believe is possible for our lives. Without realizing it, we begin living inside a story that no longer fits the person we are becoming.

Many people spend years trying to change their lives without ever changing the story they're living inside. This workshop offers another way. Over three days, you'll be guided through a carefully facilitated process of telling your whole story—not only the events that shaped your life, but the meaning you've attached to them and the beliefs they've created about yourself and the world.

Together, we'll gently uncover the patterns, assumptions, and identities that have quietly influenced your life for years. But that isn't where the journey ends. Because the greatest discovery often isn't found in the story itself. It's discovering that your deepest identity was never created by your story in the first place.

Beneath every experience, every success, every disappointment, every role you've played, there is something that has remained unchanged. Your essential self. The part of you that has always known love, creativity, wisdom, resilience, and possibility. The person your life has been shaping—not despite your story, but through it.

This is the story beneath the story. And discovering it changes everything.

What makes this workshop different?

 

Many workshops invite you to revisit your past.

This one invites you to understand your life in an entirely new way.

Together, we'll explore:

  • the stories you've been told
  • the stories you've told yourself
  • the beliefs that formed through your experiences
  • the identities you've unconsciously carried
  • and the deeper thread that has been present through every chapter of your life.

Rather than asking, "How do I fix my story?"

We'll ask a different question.

What has my life been trying to reveal about who I truly am?

As that deeper story begins to emerge, something shifts.

You stop seeing yourself as the sum of what happened to you.

You begin recognizing the qualities that have always been present beneath every experience—your courage, your compassion, your wisdom, your gifts, your capacity to love, and the unique purpose your life has been preparing you to live.

Your story no longer becomes a prison.

It becomes a path.

Who is this workshop for?

This experience is for people who feel ready for a new chapter.

You may recognize yourself if:

  • You've done years of personal growth but still feel held back by familiar patterns.
  • You know your past shaped you, but you don't want it to define your future.
  • You feel disconnected from your purpose or uncertain about what's next.
  • You find yourself telling the same story about your life over and over.
  • You long for greater freedom, clarity, and meaning.
  • You sense there's something deeper your life has been trying to show you.

Over three days you'll:

  • Tell your whole story in a safe, confidential, professionally facilitated environment.
  • Discover how experiences became beliefs and beliefs became identity.
  • Recognize inherited family, cultural, and relational stories you've been carrying.
  • Identify the strengths, values, and gifts hidden within your life experiences.
  • Discover the deeper story your life has been telling all along.
  • Learn to distinguish between the story you've lived and the deeper self that has always existed beneath it.
  • Leave with a renewed sense of purpose, freedom, and direction.

The immersion includes

  • 4 guided sessions with Anne
  • shamanic journeying + energetic practices
  • chants, healing symbols, and sacred transmissions
  • Rest, integration, and nervous system regulation

This is a space where depth is welcomed…and where your body can move at the pace it needs.

Your story matters.

But it is not the whole truth of who you are.

There is another story.

A quieter one.

One that has been unfolding beneath every challenge, every joy, every loss, every relationship, and every turning point.

It is the story of your becoming.

When you discover that story, you don't erase your past.

You begin to understand it differently.

And from that place, a different future becomes possible.

Reserve your spot

There is a part of you that has never been disconnected.

A part of you
that still lives in harmony… still trusts… still knows how to receive life.

This retreat is not about becoming someone new.

It is about remembering who you already are.
