A Retreat in Purpose, Ancestry, and Possibility
May 14–17, 2026
at Svalja Whole Being, Duluth, MN
Come Breathe With Us.
The word conspire comes from the Latin conspirare — to breathe with.
Conspire is a 4-day retreat designed for people who want to strengthen their trust in their own intuition and clarify the purpose work they are here to do.
Held at Svalja Whole Being in Duluth, Minnesota, this intimate gathering weaves storytelling, ancestral connection, intuitive practice, and relational reflection into a grounded, spacious container for alignment.
Led by Alexis Flanagan, founder of ARVEL Group and creator of Ancestral Bridging℠, alongside Ed Heisler, Conspire is for those who are ready to slow down enough to hear themselves clearly.
What You’ll Experience
Practices that help you recognize and trust how intuition shows up for you.
Guided storytelling as a path toward integration and clarity.
Ancestral reflection and lineage inquiry as sources of strength.
Relational exercises that deepen intimacy with self and others.
Time in nature to ground, listen and receive insight from the living world around you.
Community rooted in presence and belonging, where we serve as mirrors and witnesses to one another’s becoming.
What You’ll Leave With
Greater trust in your own knowing.
Clearer articulation of your purpose work.
Practices you can return to when doubt arises.
A felt sense that you are supported by lineage, by community, by life itself.
Integration & Accompaniment
Insight without integration fades.
Participants will have the option to continue their journey through post-retreat coaching or accompaniment with Alexis or Ed. These sessions are designed to support you in translating what emerges during the retreat into real-life decisions, shifts, and commitments.
Who This Is For
Purpose-seekers ready to trust themselves more fully.
Storykeepers and change makers seeking deeper alignment.
Those open to intuition, ancestry, and relational reflection.
People wanting to slow down and listen.
Investment
Conspire is intentionally small to preserve depth and intimacy.
