You've been
retreating long enough.
It's time to advance.
January 8–11, 2027
Four days in beautiful Utah with a small, hand-selected group of women, plus eight women facilitators trained in the Theta Method, and a container built to hold real depth. It's not an escape from your life - this is a deliberate move toward creating the life you want.
RETREAT VS. ADVANCE
We named it on purpose.
A retreat is a withdrawal. A pulling back from the line. And there's a season for that — sometimes stepping away from your life is exactly the medicine.
Many of you have done this. You've retreated. Repeatedly. You've gone to the beautiful place, felt some real feelings, cried in a circle, returned home lit up - and came back to "reality" to watch much of it fade.
That's not a failure of the experience. It's what happens when there's an opening without structure around it.
This is a new direction.
An advance. Toward something. On purpose, with a plan, with people who will still be here as your journey continues.
The question we're going to keep asking you all four days is not what do you need to get away from.
It's: what do you want to create?
WHO IS THIS FOR
You'll know pretty quickly.
This is for you if:
You've done work. Therapy, books, modalities, maybe years of it — and something underneath still hasn't moved.
You've had a powerful experience somewhere before and came home to little or no support.
You keep arriving at the same wall in your relationships, your body, your money, or your sense of self, and you're tired of being surprised by it.
You can hold your own state in a group. You're not looking for someone to carry you.
You want to be around people who are serious about this work, while also knowing how to connect and play through the challenges.
This isn't for you if you're looking for a vacation with an escape accent, if you want someone else to do the work for you, or if you're not in a place to contribute to a group's culture as well as draw from it.
We're saying that plainly because the group is the point. Everyone here is personally selected, and the standard is the same for everyone.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
The four days
JANUARY 8
DAY ONE — Arrival
You land, you settle, you exhale. An opening circle, dinner together, and an introduction to every facilitator who will be holding this container. By the end of the first night you'll know who everyone in the room is and why they're more about who we are and why you're here.
JANUARY 9
Day Two — The first experience
We don't wake you at dawn. The day begins late and unhurried, and then we begin.
A full day held by the whole team. No stations you're supposed to rotate through, no schedule you're supposed to keep up with. This is a safe, spacious container with the time to go wherever you need. Connection, support, exploring personal depth. And at the end, we tuck you in.Just a safe, spacious container and the time to go where you need to go. At the end of it, you get tucked in.
JANUARY 10
Day Three — Restoration, then the second night
Bodywork. Rest. Real food. Quiet.
You'll have a private hour with the coach who was with you the day before — someone who was listening closely to your language and can reflect back the core beliefs that surfaced. For most people this hour is the one they talk about later.
Sound bath. Breathwork together and individual. And then a second night to explore yourself - softer, connective, together.
JANUARY 11
Day Four — Integration and the map
This is the day we hand you the framework.
Each facilitator takes a domain — emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, social, financial — and walks the group through what showed up, why, and what to do about it. No lectures. Short teaching, real practice, and and space to interact with it.
You'll see how the domains are wired to each other: how I'm not safe in the body shows up as there's never enough in the money, how sovereignty in one place unlocks belonging three domains over.
Then lunch, and we send you home — with simple continued rewiring practices, community, daily check-ins, and two integration calls already on the schedule. We also provide you with options for continued self-commitment individual and community experiences. We won't leave you in the dust.
BEFORE · DURING · AFTER
You'll receive full support before, during and after the advance.
BEFORE
The Foundations program — everything you need to complete before you arrive. Preparation, mindset work, and the daily practices, so you land already inside the framework instead of spending day one catching up.
A consult call and medical review with Mel.
Community access from the day you're accepted.
Access to preparation support in the run-up.
DURING
A fully held, distraction-free environment.
Eight facilitators working as one integrated team.
Space to go at your own pace — never rushed, never left without witness.
Gentle guidance when you need it, quiet when you don't.
All creature comforts taken care of so you can stay fully present.
Professional photo shoot, raw, feminine, self-witness.
AFTER
Two integration sessions with your coach.
Daily integration support through the retreat and the days following.
Ongoing community — a private forum, plus a weekly space where two coaches show up to take questions. Pseudonyms welcome. What's said there stays there.
Continued Foundations access.
First access to what's next, at the rate we hold for people who were in the room.
❝
Her support didn't end when his journey did.

OUR PROMISE TO YOU
Come see for yourself.
We know that saying yes to four days away is a real decision, especially if you've been to retreats that didn't deliver.
So we're making it simple. Arrive, settle in, and spend the first day with us. If by the end of day one you're not completely blown away, let us know, and we'll refund your investment in full.
No forms to fight through, and no hard feelings. We'd rather you leave whole than stay unsure.
We offer this because we trust what happens in the room.

ABOUT
Melanie Winsor
Melanie Winsor is a Medicine Woman; Board-Certified Registered Nurse, and the founder of Theta Integrated. With over 20 years of experience in trauma-informed care, including psychiatric nursing and a deep grounding in the neuroscience of mental health, she bridges clinical expertise with ancient healing traditions to support people in returning to wholeness.
Her path has been shaped by multiple lineages and methodologies: deep global study and practice in spirit wisdom, somatic and energetic approaches to trauma, and years of experience walking with thousands of fellow humans through deep inner work. Over time she repeatedly witnessed the same pattern—the openings that occur during intensive healing processes can fade, fragment, or remain incomplete without skilled, intentional support afterward. That lived observation became the seed of Theta Integrated.
Melanie created the Theta Method as a structured yet soul-centered integration pathway specifically designed around the critical return period; the window when the nervous system is the most plastic, insights are the most accessible, and old neural patterns are the most available for rewiring. So she began asking the question, “To what? What are we ‘rewiring’ these patterns to?” She believes this period is not an afterthought; it is where lasting transformation either takes root or can slip away. Her work focuses on assisting others with metabolizing whatever arises, to gently dismantle limiting core beliefs, and embed new neural and embodied pathways of safety, agency, and resilience.
Her goal is simple and steady: to walk alongside people, whether they are just beginning or deep in the process, so they can move from profound experience into lived, sustainable change. She holds space that is clinically informed, spiritually respectful, and fiercely practical, always oriented toward embodied well-being rather than temporary insight.
“We’re all just walking each other home” -Ram Dass
MEET THE BEST FACILITATORS
Your Team
Eight facilitators. Every one of them trained in the Theta Method and personally selected to support you on your path.
“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thoughts - nor measure words -
but pouring them all right out, just as they are - chaff and grain together –
certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them -
keep what is worth keeping –
and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away”
— DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK, A LIFE FOR A LIFE (1859)
Cassie
Cassie is in the middle of becoming. She doesn’t come to this work from the other side of a perfectly completed healing journey. She comes from inside it - from the messy, beautiful work of dismantling old identities, learning to inhabit her body, reclaiming desire, practicing boundaries, questioning what she thought she knew, and discovering that self-trust is something we build one brave choice at a time.
She has spent much of her life caring deeply for other people. These days, she is learning that caring for others and belonging fully to herself do not have to be opposites. Curious by nature, Cassie is fascinated by the places where psychology, spirituality, medicine, embodiment, relationship, and mystery meet. She is willing to sit with contradiction and is increasingly suspicious of tidy answers. She loves questions that open the way rather than close it.
More than anything, she believes there is profound medicine in being witnessed without being managed - in having someone beside us who isn't telling us who to become, but who can help us listen for the person already emerging. She is practicing that kind of presence with others because she is learning, every day, to offer it to herself.
Angie
Angie is a facilitator, retreat leader, photographer, and community builder whose life’s work centers on helping people feel deeply seen, safe, and empowered to reconnect with themselves. Throughout her career, she has been a trailblazer in creating transformational experiences, from leading immersive retreats and capturing meaningful moments through photography, to cultivating brave spaces where women can gather, heal, and grow.
Her approach is grounded in genuine connection, curiosity, and the belief that every person carries an innate capacity for wholeness. Drawing from her own lived experience, Angie is passionate about integrating the wisdom life offers, alchemizing pain into beauty, and guiding others through meaningful transformation. She meets people with compassion, presence, and authenticity, helping them cultivate greater self-trust, freedom, and connection.
Whether through facilitation, ceremony, or creative expression, she brings warmth, playfulness, and a steady grounded presence that invites people to come back to who they are.
Heather
Heather is a certified breathwork facilitator and sound bath practitioner who has a deep love for creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore what healing might look like for them. Always a student and endlessly curious, she continues to learn, experience, and question anything that might help us understand ourselves a little more deeply.
Heather’s path to this work has been shaped by life itself. She has experienced profound grief, watched someone she loves fight for his life and learn how to live it differently, walked away from beliefs that once defined her, and witnessed the pain of addiction. These experiences have broken her open in ways she never expected, but they have also taught her about the duality of life. She is learning that walking through grief, pain, and uncertainty allows us to more fully recognize the joy, beauty, and goodness that exist right alongside them.
She is learning to sit with her angels, to become quiet enough to listen, and to trust the messages they have to share. She believes there is wisdom in our bodies, in the earth beneath our feet, and in the generations who walked before us.
Heather will never tell you that she is healed or that she has life figured out. She is a beautifully flawed human being who is still learning and growing. Through that work, she has discovered what it feels like to live as the most authentic version of herself, and she is deeply passionate about helping others discover that freedom for themselves.
Above all, Heather hopes to create a space for others to get curious about themselves, to listen a little deeper, feel a little more, and discover the wisdom that has been inside them all along.
Lynn
Lynn is a somatic coach with a degree in psychology and training in embodiment practices, conscious connected breathwork, sacred sexuality, and archetypal energetics. Her studies and practices have taken her to diverse parts of the world. Working across different cultures and healing traditions broadened her understanding of the unique ways people experience and move through life.
Lynn’s work is informed by trauma-aware principles and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience, autonomy, and capacity to know what is right for them. She frequently uses the body as an access point for insight, helping clients notice and stay present with their emotions without immediately acting on them. Through this practice, clients learn to move with their emotions rather than be governed by them.
Lynn’s approach weaves together psychology, somatic awareness, energetic practices, and each person’s innate spiritual genius. Grounded in the connection between body, emotion, and nervous system regulation, she creates a trusting space where clients can deepen self-awareness, strengthen their capacity for emotional regulation, and build a more connected relationship with themselves.
Maggie
Maggie's path into healing work began with a deeply personal desire to understand herself, know her highest self, and consciously break the unhealthy, destructive patterns that had been carried through generations before her. What began as a journey of self-discovery has become a lifelong practice of healing, awareness, and choosing a different way forward.
Along the way, she discovered the profound power of sound to create space for stillness, connection, release, and transformation. As a sound healing practitioner, she is passionate about sharing the gift of sound and creating experiences where people can step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with themselves.
She believes healing doesn't always require us to have the answers. Sometimes, it begins simply by being witnessed, feeling safe enough to soften, and having the space to turn inward and listen. For the past six years, she has also had the privilege of working with the elderly, providing meals, meaningful connection, companionship, and support. This experience has taught her that some of the most sacred moments in life are found in simply being present with another person—meeting them exactly where they are.
Her path forward includes a continued pursuit of end-of-life doula care, deepening her understanding of how we can honor transition, grief, life, and death with greater presence and compassion. She sees herself as someone who can walk beside you, hold space for what is emerging, and help create the conditions for you to hear the wisdom that already lives within you.
Her intention is simple: to create spaces where you can slow down, reconnect, release what no longer serves you, and remember who you are beneath the patterns, expectations, and stories you've inherited. This is the work that continues to transform her—and it is an honor to share the space with others as they find their own way home to themselves.
Emily
Emily is a DNP, MSN, RN, holistic wellness coach, healthcare leader, and breathwork facilitator with more than 20 years of experience in healthcare.
Her work is rooted in the belief that meaningful healing involves the whole person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit. She blends her clinical background with holistic practices, including meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, somatic awareness, inner-child work, and spiritual connection, to help individuals reconnect with themselves and their inner wisdom.
Through her personal healing journey, she learned that healing isn't simply about moving through difficult experiences—it's about creating enough safety and compassion to turn inward, listen to what is asking for our attention, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves we may have lost along the way.
She is passionate about supporting people through expanded states of consciousness and transformational experiences. She brings a grounded, compassionate, and trauma-informed presence to the spaces she facilitates, honoring each person's unique journey without judgment or expectation. Profound experiences can open a door, but lasting transformation comes from how we honor what arises and bring those insights into our everyday lives.
She believes healing is deeply personal, and her role is not to direct someone's experience, but to create a supportive space where they can safely explore, connect, and listen to their own inner knowing. At the heart of her work is helping people come home to themselves—to reconnect with their authentic selves, trust their inner wisdom, and move forward with greater clarity, compassion, connection, and purpose.
Maria
Maria (“Goldie”) is an embodiment practitioner, advocate, and guide whose work is rooted in helping people return to themselves with greater authenticity, self-trust, and freedom. With more than 10,000 hours spent sitting alongside individuals in deep personal work, her approach has been shaped by extensive experience in embodiment practices, relational healing, and narcissistic abuse and recovery.
Goldie is well-traveled and deeply curious about people, culture, and the human experience. She has devoted time in meaningful work with women who have left polygamy, has helped people leave High Demand religions, and has built homes in Tijuana. She creates space for complex emotions, changing beliefs, and deeper connection without asking anyone to abandon themselves in the process.
Her work is centered around identity, belonging, boundaries, and rebuilding trust in one’s own knowing. She believes healing is not about becoming someone new, but shedding what no longer belongs and remembering who we have always been. She deeply loves IFS work and has practiced the methods for over 6 years.
At her center, Goldie is a lover of life, finds laughter in all the places she can and is deeply devoted to individuals willing to step into the work. Her greatest joy is helping others come home to themselves—not to a more acceptable or polished version, but to Be exactly who they are.
Nikki
Nikki is a professional speaker and NLP Practitioner. In addition to running multiple companies she was also the host of the popular podcast Life Amplified with Nikki. She has been featured in 16 publications, including LA Weekly, New York Weekly, and Forbes, contributing her expertise on entrepreneurship, beauty, branding, and leadership. She is a Women’s Entrepreneur VIP Award winner and has been recognized by leading manufacturers for her achievements in sales, training, and leadership.
After many years of building businesses, leading teams, and living life at full speed, Nikki began searching for a deeper way to connect with herself beyond achievement and productivity. What began as a personal journey of slowing down, healing, and getting in touch with her inner self evolved into a profound transformation—and ultimately, a calling to help others navigate their own journeys. Nikki has completed years of trauma-specific and transformational training with leading organizations and coaches in the industry. She brings together her entrepreneurial experience, professional training, intuition, and genuine compassion to create a space where people feel safe to explore, heal, grow, and reconnect with who they truly are.
As a facilitator, Nikki is passionate about helping people move beyond the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that have kept them stuck, reconnect with their authentic selves, and create a vision for a more fulfilling future.
Outside of her work, Nikki’s favorite title has always been Mom. Her favorite pastime is traveling and creating new experiences with her husband and family—because for Nikki, a truly amplified life is one that is filled with connection, adventure, love, and meaningful moments shared with the people who matter most.

There's no one I'd trust more with this kind of work.

She never handed me answers or told me who I should be.

INVESTMENT
Three ways in
Bring a friend — $6,600 each
The best price we offer, and not only for the reason you'd think. People who arrive with someone they trust go deeper faster. Both of you apply; both of you have to be accepted.
Early — $7,200
Apply and enroll by [DATE].
Standard — $8,800
THE FIRST ONE
This is ground zero, and we're being particular about it.
This is the first, and the culture of this group will set the tone for every one that follows. So we're selecting for it, honestly and a little ruthlessly. Not for credentials or how much healing work you've done. For whether you can hold your own state, contribute to a room, and let other people have their own experience without needing it to look like yours.
That's what the application is actually measuring. Not your history. Your capacity to be in a group.
If that reads as exclusive — it is, and not for the reasons people usually mean. The container is the product. We're not going to compromise it to fill a room.
❝
She didn't fix me, but she opened the door to the path forward.
— SONA G.
The process to join us
1. Apply. A short application — mostly about where you are on your healing journey and how you show up in a group.
2. Acceptance and enrollment. You'll hear from us either way. If it's a yes, you make your payment, you get community access and schedule your first call, and you're in.
3. Medical review and consult/foundations call. Standard. Thorough, and non-negotiable. A real conversation where we discuss current medical status, history, what you're wanting to create in this experience, and answer your questions.
QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
We get it. You might be wondering...
Where exactly is it?
Southern California. We'll share the property details with you once you're enrolled.
Do I need experience with this kind of work?
No. Some people arrive having done a decade of it, some have done none. The Foundations program gets everyone to the same starting line.
Am I going to be sharing a room?
Most likely, yes — and honestly, that's part of what makes the group what it is. A limited number of private rooms are available for an additional cost.
Is this therapy?
No. This is coaching, education, and integration work, and it doesn't replace medical or mental health care. Many of our clients have a therapist, and we're glad they do.
What if I'm on medication?
That's exactly what the medical review is for. Bring your full list to the consult call — we'll talk it through honestly, and if this isn't the right time for you, we'll tell you.
What if I'm not spiritual?
Then don't be. We work with devout people and with committed atheists and the work does what it does regardless of what you call it.
What happens afterward?
Two integration sessions, ongoing community, continued Foundations access, and the option to keep going with a coach at a rate held for people who were in the room. This is the part most experiences skip. It's the part that determines whether anything holds.
I'm nervous.
Good. That's an appropriate response to doing something real. Fill in the application and let's talk.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. We offer a full satisfaction guarantee. If you're not blown away by the end of day one of The ADVANCE, simply let Mel or one of our facilitators know before day two begins, and we'll give you a complete refund.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, and we'd love that. Through the Bestie Bundle, you and a friend can enroll together, and you'll each receive $1,100 off your spot. To request your shared code, email [email protected] with your name and your friend's name. We'll send you a code to use at checkout. Both spots need to be secured within 7 days of each other for the Bundle to apply.
Where is The ADVANCE located?
The ADVANCE takes place in Utah, January 8–11. We will share the full location and travel details with every participant very soon! If you have questions about getting there in the meantime, reach out to us at [email protected].
