5 years ago, I had a new dream begin to move inside of me. It was to move to a large house with lots of space. Filled with love and fun and friends and beauty and authentic giving and receiving. With an abundance of grass and trees all around. Close enough to my (at the time) clients, practice, and work.

I also had a dream to run retreats in this home. I wanted it to be a retreat home. Where I can host gatherings and in person groups for my clients and music and friends for long weekends. A retreat home both for the incredible retreats I had in my heart and mind to create, and a retreat space for me and the people I love.

I was dreaming of this home and also looking at basements and apartments in the neighborhood. Some friends and people told me to stay practical, to stay in "reality." I needed a new home, so Everyday, I went to go look at another place.

But one day I came to my senses, my sense of my Self, and I realized: my dream IS reality. It is my own reality. And only I can and will make it happen for myself, when I partner with Hashem/God, call on faith, make movements, and align my insides with what it is I desire on the outsides.

So I went to look at a house for the first time. My mind was not computing, but my heart and soul walked with conviction. I was going to create with Hashem. It was a huge jump from the places I was looking at before and it wasn't just a house. It was a huge and beautiful home with a pool, a 3 acre yard, and enough space for everything I wanted to create and dream into Being.

But the woman said they wouldn't even rent the house to me. They wanted a family with children to have it, for whatever reason. So I accepted that, felt the feelings that came along with it, and kept looking elsewhere.

I almost chose to settle into a basement apartment after that, I found something cozy and spacious enough, and then again, the homeowners didn't want me to live there at the end. At the time, my private practice was growing by leaps and bounds and they didn't want private clients coming in and out all day, and parking in front of their house.

That same night one of my mentors and friends told me: Rivky, you aren't going to live in a basement. There is nothing wrong with that, it just isn't for you, and what you are creating.

I came home and told Hashem/God: "I am ready to partner with you. Show me the space I am supposed to be. I will bring desire, the vessel, and a faith beyond any logic, the light. I am ready for miracles, wonder, and stretching my capacity. I am willing to grow into the person who IS the dream that I have. I want to partner only with you."

The next day, I saw an ad in a local paper advertising this house I currently live in. I went and looked at it a few days later. I knew it was going to be where I ran retreats, groups, and created massive movements, possibility, rest, respite, healing, connection and so much LIVING for myself and many others. I said YES, I WILL make this move. And then Hashem came through. I kept holding the faith. And I kept feeling what I felt, creating, and coming back to my true identity. Doing the inside first work each and every day.

Over and over again, Each day, month, year, This home has been a miracle, a portal, a safe haven, a growth and resting place, a consciousness shifter, an unbelievable blessing. I ran 5 retreats here, hosted 13 rounds of the 6 week groups, countless experiences, breathwork groups, Medicine without Medicine, community events, musical events. I hosted friends, new moms, family, loved ones. I created my home studio here for zoom clients and classes, as well as a home office. All of my best friends have cooked in my kitchen. I've hosted events for business owners, even spoke to incredible leaders in a private amazing and fun speaking engagement right here in my living room. They said: "you stay in your home, we will come to you." And they all flew in.

This January, I am again going to be running a retreat in my home. My friend Chani Frankel @grassrootsbklyn will be returning as the Chief of Nourishment and the group of women in the retreat are magnificence. This retreat was sold out in pretty much one day (I just needed a few days to give interviews to many women!)

The group that formed is incredible... and one woman who was signed up to join was unable at the end due to circumstances with her child. We had a waiting list of people to join, but they all wanted to come to the next one I'm offering (in an epic destination to be announced!) So, with much excitement I share that have this 1 spot left!

Part of my deal with God is that I follow the flow, the subtle call of my heart and soul beyond logic. I will keep following the signs and where my life and heart and God is leading me. That being said, This may be the last retreat in my home. There's a chance it will not be, and also a chance it will. If you wanted to join a retreat that was more local, and intimate, and have the kind of experience you will only have in this home, message me.

There is 1 spot that opened for the January retreat in my home in Toms River, NJ for the woman who is ready for this opportunity, who feels inside that they desire this for themselves, and they are ready to create and receive this for themselves.

I am requesting serious inquiries only please 🤍
