"Hello! My name is Jess and I am thrilled to be leading another retreat. (This is my SEVENTH one!)  I use my educational background of clinical psychology, my cultural (indigenous- Umpqua Cow Creek) identity and practices, and my personal experience to help others find their way back to themselves. I have been on a personal trauma healing journey for the last 20 years, focusing on introspection and cultivating mindful awareness the last 7 years. I started Two Moons in 2020 and I truly believe in the empowering and transformative forces of shadow work and mindfulness for trauma and healing. I am honored to be in a position to help lead others back home."

I cant wait to meet you all!

"Hi! My name is Alexandria, I am a PNW native and the visionary behind Lux Aura, a healing studio located in downtown Vancouver, WA. My work as an intuitive energy guide and Reiki practitioner is rooted in a deeply personal journey of transformation, devotion, and remembrance.

​

Through life experience, years of study and personal practice I have come to understand the depth, tenderness, and resilience required to hold both life and healing at once. An understanding that gently informs the way I hold space for others. My offerings are expressed through intentional ritual, energetic support, and an authentic, soulful presence that allows me to meet you exactly where you are.

​

I believe in the transformative power of community healing. When we gather with intention, something sacred is activated. Through Lux Aura, I create immersive sanctuaries for self-expression, restoration, and profound inner reconnection, inviting you to return to yourself with clarity, softness, and truth. In my free time I love to spend time with my family, explore nature and try new activities. "

"Hi! I’m Alelie, pronounced Ah - Le - LEE, but I am ok with Uh - Lay - Lee as well :) I am Mexican - American, born in Salem, OR and raised in Woodburn, OR. I have been a holistic esthetician since 2014. Taking a craniosacral therapy course in 2022 changed my practice and my life. I now weave together facials, craniosacral, reiki and emotional release for 1:1 sessions in Salem, OR. In group settings I host ceremonies with cacao to gather in community and help people reconnect to the earth, their bodies and each other. I believe a disconnection to the earth can lead to anxiety, depression, loneliness and even a lack of purpose. The sacred plant medicine of cacao can help connect you to your heart space and offer realizations about your next steps on your life journey. I am immensely grateful that cacao connects me back to my roots as it is indigenous to Latin America and it is an honor to offer its medicine. "

Hi! I’m Jessie, and I will be this year’s yoga teacher. I began practicing yoga 10 years ago to help me navigate a mental health crisis, and it has become a passion and essential tool for my holistic health.

In 2023, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training and now teach at two studios in Salem. My aim is to provide a gentle space for people to tune inward.

I care deeply about social justice and integrating it into my yoga practice and believe all people should have access to the healing journey.

I feel so honored to be one of this year’s teachers and can’t wait to practice yoga with you all!
