The ELEVATION Soul Sanctuary

What is it? 

People who are truly ready for change in some aspect of their life, coming together to create a community, a clan of cheerleaders for change. 

This is a deeply personal process, but the sanctuary created means you have the support of others who are also committed to changing their lives in some way, and to be their own experiment for a FULL YEAR.   

We start off with a week long Soul immersion in Sligachan, Isle of Skye, on Sunday 2nd February 2025.  Our stunning home for the week, these cottages have phenomenal views and comfort. This is where we establish the foundations for our peer mentor group. 

We then return back to our everyday lives on 9th February, with our transformation toolkit and tribe to help us to remain in an ‘elevated’ state, as much as possible, once we return back to our familiar, everyday environment and lives.  BUT, the Sanctuary we create doesn’t end there. After spending a week in person, you have access to a year long online course, with seasonal inspiration each month to help keep us focused, and an optional online connection, once a month, to support, motivate, and help elevate each other until February 2026.

Our week-long soul immersion gives enough time to retreat from everyday life and environment, gaining enough distance from playing the part of who you’re tired of pretending to be, and offers a safe space to open your heart and mind, reconnecting with the light and wisdom within.

Opportunities to rest, reflect, resolve, receive, and reset, as we move through the week.  You create a ‘toolkit’, and an individual plan that helps you to help yourself, and stay more in alignment with the vibration of connection, creation and Elevation that you know is available for you.

Accepting all of our emotions, the light and the dark, the guilt and the shame, the bliss and the joy, we embrace and allow change, by integrating all of parts of us, reclaiming our power, learning to love and accept ourselves, and we tribe up with awesome humans who aren’t afraid to, well,  ‘BE human’.

I’ve been to events, and on retreats before, what makes this one different? 

Let me ask you this: when you left the event, feeling like you have changed in some way, did you manage to hold onto that inspiration and motivation for an extended period of time, once you returned home?

If the answer is ‘not as much as I would have like to’, then it’s likely that when you returned to your everyday life and environment, surrounded by people who represent the familiarity of the OLD thoughts, ideas, beliefs and behaviours of the person you were BEFORE the event, you defaulted to the OLD PROGRAMMING.  That’s perfectly human, and usual. 

The difference with the ELEVATION Soul Sanctuary is this: you create a toolkit that works for YOU, so you can help yourself when ‘life happens’, and also, you have the opportunity to participate in a year long program that will help keep you remembering to choose differently, to act differently, consistently. 

For a full year, we will be supporting each other to take action on our own behalf.

You won’t be in it alone.

You will always have your Soul Tribe to remind you of what you’re doing, and why, and no matter the pace, encourage you to keep moving in the direction of creation and growth, when it would feel so much easier to slip back into survival mode.

Whatever changes need to occur in your life, career, relationships, health, confidence, or otherwise, you’ll make them personally, but with the love and support of your tribe. 

My background in working with children, families, and educators helped me to discover a universal truth – the ‘programs’ we ‘download’ and run subconsciously from before birth, until around age 7, determine the outcomes of our lives.  Our interactions with people, places, ideas, situations and tribal beliefs affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Curious about the body-mind-soul connection, and intrigued by the ‘new’ sciences around this, I began the process of becoming aware of, and familiar with, how I personally was showing up in the world. I noticed how my body responded to the thoughts, feelings and actions I took (or didn’t), and the impact it had on my life.

I have learned, un-learned, and re-learned. I have been experimenting, implementing, and most of all understanding the nature of what it means to be human. So, now I work with people, help them to rewire the programming they inherited or learned, so that they can live a more authentic, autonomous life.

Personally, I’ve made LOTS of ‘mistakes’ in my life so far, and will continue to do so (there is no other way to live, in my opinion, none of us have all the answers). I have fully embraced this human experience, and like many people, I have been given the opportunity to experience illness (I suffered chronic migraines for 13 years, endometriosis, multiple cancer diagnosis), betrayal, hardship, depression, and other challenges life throws at you. I’m on the other side now, cancer free for 8 years, and there’s nothing ‘chronic’ in my life.

I have also personally experienced, and witnessed, what some would call ‘miracles’, and I truly believe that we are unlimited beings, with infinite potentials available to us, if only we become conscious of our choices and behaviours, and know when to integrate, acknowledge, transcend or overcome our ‘familiar’, or even our excluded or rejected parts of ourselves. 

Once I stopped being a victim to the programming and challenges, and started choosing to become the person I want to be (still a huge work in progress), then it led me on an adventure and surrender into the unknown. When I started showing up FOR MYSELF, I discovered some seriously mind-blowing stuff. I took courses, went on immersive retreats, and learned from some of the most incredible people on Earth. People with no agenda, other than to be love, and remind others of the potential and power they hold.

I embraced the teachings of Dr. David Hamilton, Dr. Lori Leyden, Dr. Bruce Lipton (see my conversations with him on this page, regarding ELEVATION) Dr. Joe Dispenza, Gregg Braden, Lynne McTaggart, Dr. David Hawkins, Caroline Myss, and many others.

I study new sciences, and modern Ayurveda – ancient wisdom, with awareness of today’s world. I share relevant findings with people in various ways, working with people one to one, and hosting workshops, training and retreats.  People have made HUGE changes in their lives with my support, encouragement, and unconditional love.

While I started this adventure curious about human development in the early years and the impact it has, I now work with adults, helping them to gain awareness of ‘why’ they are they way they are, and ‘how’ they can reclaim their power, so they’re free to become who they came here to be.

People have become their own hero, made their own connections, and continue on their own learning path, motivated and inspired to live life in the way it’s meant to be lived.

They reclaimed their power, and choose to step away from the dysfunctional society and programming that champions stress, pharmaceuticals, and a never-ending cycle of lack mentality.

They step away from the notion that we need to be ‘more’, and start reconnecting with the joys in life.

The creativity starts to flow.

The weight starts to lift.

They feel more abundant, more connected, more alive.

All of that is easier when you’re surrounded by like-minded people.

What I have found over the years, is that it is easy for people to slip back into the familiar.. even though that ‘familiar’ meant being unhappy, unhealthy, and completely out of balance. So, people have come on retreats, and after they have been home a couple of months, they’re desperate for the next one, because while they are away at the retreat, held in a loving, safe, sacred space – they connect with the true essence of their being. They are free to BE’.

My inspiration for The Elevation Soul Sanctuary, is born from a curiosity to see what will happen if a small group of people, interconnected, but each with their own aspirations, choose to elevate their emotions for a year.

• What will happen if they are consistent with taking small steps?
• What happens when an unconditionally loving community is formed, and the power of intention amplifies the connection to the potential?
• When we witness the greatness that each of us are, will the emotion of ELEVATION intensify the vortex of creation?
• Will outcomes manifest into being quicker than going it alone?

I know that the tools and strategies I share will help people to become unstuck. To find momentum and joy in life again. To move forward fearlessly, knowing that we are truly held.  Whatever that means to them, whatever they’re working on personally.

Want to improve your health? Your career? Your relationships? Your home life? Your confidence? Whatever it is, our collective will support you to achieve your goal. We’ll embrace this adventure, we will connect. We’ll create. We will ELEVATE.

What’s your story so far?

It’s time to write the next chapter…

This week-long soul immersion (and year-long programme) is right for you if you are truly ready to make changes by:

• Being ready to heal yourself by looking for the ‘wisdom in your wounds’, accepting what is, letting go, and calling yourself out on your own nonsense when necessary.

• Taking full responsibility for yourself, your choices, and behaviours.

• Acknowledging, accepting and integrating aspects of your human journey so far, adopting a sense of humour, love and compassion, and reclaiming your humanness.

• Demonstrating a willingness to step into the unknown, and open your heart and mind to the unlimited potentials and possibilities available to transform and heal yourself, the wider community, and the land on which we live.

• Being your own experiment, being curious to discover what happens when you act on your own behalf, stepping out of familiar comfort, being the change, and trusting in life again.

This event is NOT FOR YOU if you are looking for prescriptive programs or traditional advice to follow. Karen Conville is not a medical practitioner, trained counsellor, or spiritual advisor. The power belongs with you, but she’ll be your greatest cheerleader as you take responsibility, and transform your own life.

 

Throughout the week, we will:

• Explore seasonal living*, internal and ayurvedic wisdom, and consider how you can start to live a more harmonious, balanced life.

• Reflect on conditioning, beliefs, and our story so far. We will explore family constellations, and create a new story, a preferred way to be.

• Embrace the sciences of change and possibility, and gain awareness of why change seems so hard* – and how the power of altruism, connection and community transforms previous limitations.

• Practice connecting to our hearts and the unified field, trusting ourselves, getting into creative flow state, and ‘being the change’.

• Create life-affirming habits and behaviours, and systems to recognise when we default (as we inevitably will) to the old ways once home.

• Meditate, laugh, release, reflect, inspire, create. Be gloriously ‘human’, and know that’s ok, you’re enough, and you’re worthy of becoming that lighter, freer version of ‘you’.

• Lilia will be offering breathwork sessions*, and your have access to the energy spa (click here), and sauna, too!

* these sessions are available to book as an online workshop, see Heal Scotland HEALINN page for details. Breathwork will be streamed live on Facebook. 

CONNECT. CREATE. ELEVATE.

I’m worried about coming by myself.

It’s perfectly natural to feel a bit wobbly about this, but I assure you, those who return to these retreats do so because the environment created is so welcoming and nurturing.  A sacred soul sanctuary where your heart feels at home so much, that you can’t help but be anything but your authentic self.

Even if you’re sharing a bedroom, there is plenty of space indoors and outdoors for any alone time should you feel all ‘peopled out’.  Or, treat yourself and upgrade to a sole occupancy room with a double bed (only 2 available).

 

What are the expectations around participation?

As with anything in life, you get out what you put in.  It is highly recommended to get the most out of your week, you really embrace the ‘soul sanctuary’ experience, by participating in the daily practices and workshops.  This is, after all, about overcoming the old self and becoming more aligned with your greatness.  That might take a little effort, but it shouldn’t be too taxing. Remember, this is a very personal process, you don’t have to bare your soul all the time, shares are always by invitation, not obligation. 

Gifting ourselves the time for dedicated reflection and creation is extremely beneficial to our lives, and means you leave the week and return home with clarity, purpose and vision for the year ahead.

 

How can I expect to be supported?

Of course I, and Heal Scotland are there to provide the safe physical and emotional environment, the ‘sanctuary’ that supports you and offers a safe, nurturing and nourishing foundation for your week away.  However, YOU are sovereign, and solely responsible for your own health and wellbeing.  Only you can be responsible for your thoughts, feelings, actions and interactions with others. If there is something said or presented by Kaz, Lilia, or any other participants that doesn’t align with you currently, or challenges your thinking, you are encouraged to sit with that, and contemplate what is coming up for you, with compassion and self-responsibility. 

The whole point of this Elevation experiment, is for you to become more familiar with yourself, and your role is to support you, and only you. It is NOT your, or our, responsibility to advise, counsel, or offer healing to others. By doing this, we disempower each other. Our role is to witness, cheerlead and allow others to be exactly as they are as they navigate their own growth (all parts of you and emotions are welcome), but our core responsibility is to ourselves. By healing yourSelf, you heal your community, and humanity best, by ‘being the change’. 

 

What is the cancellation policy?

Should you need to cancel up to 8 weeks before, half fee is due.  After that, full payment is retained, no matter the reason, as it’s unlikely to fill that space at such short notice. Tickets are non-refundable, but you are welcome to sell your space privately, just let us know so we can register whoever is taking your place. You may want to consider taking out suitable travel insurance if this is a concern for you.
