Unlock Your Intuition and Strengthen Your Psychic Gifts

Have you ever felt a strong gut feeling or a deep knowing about something before it happened? Edgar Cayce called intuition our highest form of psychic ability—one that we all possess.

Join renowned psychic and spiritual teacher Echo Bodine at the 35th Annual A.R.E. Wildacres Fall Retreat, where you’ll explore how to develop and refine your intuitive gifts.

This immersive retreat is designed not just for those seeking to become professional psychics but for anyone who wants to better understand and utilize the gifts they have been given.
Echo will introduce “The Four Clairs of Intuition” and provide practical exercises to help you strengthen your abilities. She will also help you distinguish between intuition and psychic gifts, allowing you to access deeper spiritual guidance in everyday life.

What to Expect at This Retreat

This three-day immersive experience is designed to help you tap into and fine-tune your intuitive abilities through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and group practice sessions.

• Develop Your Psychic Senses – Participate in exercises to enhance your abilities.
• Intuition vs. Psychic Abilities – Gain clarity on how these gifts work differently.
