Michele Grace creates a sacred space where we get to show up and be ourselves. Her gift of astrology, shamanic practices, art, doodling, coaching comes through with such kindness and joy. She supports people to bring their gifts out in the world. I remember when I met her, she was a light in a place of chaos and I was so drawn to her, Michele Grace is clear, crisp and totally herself! Always a great fun to be with, your Initiate Retreat offers such great fun and powerful teachings… always I want more.

Join us live on Saturday, setting aside 4-hours to play straight through or
if you can’t make the live session work one module at a time. Do it your way.
It’s that powerful.
It’s planning for those who love thinking outside the box.
Are you ready to fully bloom in your life and business?
What would it be like to ask questions and doodle your dreams for 2025?
Fall is about harvesting seed intentions for the spring.
In winter we move into the darkest time of the year….
astrologically closing out a chapter (eon) so the new era can begin.
Let’s gather together and get ready to leave 2024 behind.
Let’s access new paths of creativity and joy that may surprise you.
During our time together we’ll release what no longer serves you setting the intention to…
Focus on the joy.
Focus on the way forward.
Activate joy. Any bit of joy.
If you have a vision…. let’s activate it. Dance it. Drum it. Write it.
The bits of joy that your vision brings to you.
And if we all focus on our bits of joy, large and small…
then we’ll create forward momentum.
Personally. Collectively.
Did you know that 65% of us are visual learners + your brain processes 60,000 times faster than reading text, that’s why it’s time to doodle your way into 2024.
Clearing the path forward to create magic in your life and business.
In this 4-Hour Session at the Initiate 2025 Retreat I give you the Doodles to play with (you can doodle if you want, but no art skills are needed). We’re going to review 2024- what worked, what didn’t. And then set into motion what you want to create in 2025.
You’re invited to join us…
Attending this virtual retreat is easy: you are on and off your computer in the comfort of your home: you can sip tea, journal, collage and walk your own land during the breaks which takes your journey and aha’s deeper.
Make the decision to spend the day with us- it’s easy and fun!
STEP into to the MAGIC of the MOMENT and the MYSTERY of YOU
by engaging the ALCHEMICAL journey through Michele Grace’s proven doodling process.
YES! I’m ready.
The lightness, doodles, quirkiness, and powerful shamanic container you offer has changed my life. Each year I work with you, I see how the me that showed up has shifted so much. Always asking, “What feels light?” I’m grateful for you. You let me be me. The “me” I didn’t know I could be.
Instead of…
Commitment ask
What lights me up today?
How have I spent time in communion with my business?
What is the ask of me today?
Will this _______ create more in five years?
Goals. Planning. Action.
Where am I in my cycle of creating?
What feels juicy to create at this moment?
Does this light up my body?
Business how would you like to create with me?
Opt-in for Immersion
Where can I have this and more in my business?
How does this create more money?
What future am I creating with my choices?
More Ease. More Joy = Space to Create.
Dear friend,
In Life and Business I follow my lightness, asking “what wants to be created in my business?”
Initiate Retreat is not like any other planning retreat… because I DO planning the a different way.
I’ll teach you how to ask and follow your inner joy. It’s how I started my first business (and then my healing practice) with a dream and no money, that grew into a $500,000 enterprise.
Where have you invested money in a coach, training or process only to find you lost momentum?
Then judged yourself wrong for making such a ‘bad choice’?
What if you were never wrong?
What if it was not the right time and you were far ahead of yourself?
You just didn’t know or understand. There’s a huge gift in your ability to future see.
As you invested in that future vision, the momentum lost was really you playing catch up with your BIG vision.
The judgment creates a wrongness within, that stops your creative flow.
It doesn’t matter whether your investment was $5 or $50,000.
It’s the same damn energy!
What if you do an inventory of all your business investments?
Clear the points of view around judgment and wrongness. What happens when you stop beating yourself up?
What gift will allow you to receive more?
How can I co-create my future with joy?
What way am I discounting the impossible because I haven’t lived it?
Let’s play!
Let’s DOODLE!
We’re going to create 2025 from this LIGHT space.
Through questions and doodles.
If what I’ve shared here feels light, SIGN-UP!
If you’re on the fence…go for a walk, wash the dishes… ask this question:
Will the Initiate Retreat create more for me in 5 years?
If what I offer feels heavy, then this Initiate Retreat is not for you at this time. I trust your knowing.
With love,
Rev. Michele Grace Lessirard

PS it’s never about the money.
Listen if you’re planning your 2025 at the first of the year then you’re missing the opportunity Sagittarius offers.
Your fiery passionate Sagittarius nature within you LOVES to EXPLORE, it’s all about claiming your good fortune by saying YES! to your VISION. When the Sun moves through Sagittarius (November 21st-December 22nd) it’s time to expand into YOUR vision, and take a creative risk. Then in the energy of Capricorn you create the container to build your vision
When there is a New Moon in Sagittarius (December 1st, 2024) and Full Moon in Gemini (December15th, 2024) there is a release of potency to build from in the new year.
That’s why we do our planning at the Initiate Retreat in the Sag energies.
Plus the planetary energies are shifting….
Mars goes Retrograde. Venus goes Retrograde.
Saturn is moving through Pisces and changes signs in May 2025
Jupiter is moving through Gemini and changes signs in June 2025
For the first time in 248 years (this one is the biggie) Pluto moves into Aquarius and stays until 2044. When Pluto enters an aspect of your life and chart… things are taken apart.
The ask is for joy and innovation.
It’s time to say…
Whoot^^ what else is possible?
Bravo Valerie!
“Snickertales®, the stories I write for children, really took off since the Initiate Retreat in December.
One of my realizations at the retreat was that I was not respecting it, I was treating it as an “oh, well, I’m just doing this until something better comes along.” It demanded I pay attention. On January 3, I gave Snickertales® its own FB page and began to promote it. I now have 130,000 followers in 45 countries. I bought the Snickertales® and Snickertale® web domain names. it’s a lot in a short period of time that bloomed from the Initiate Retreat. Thank you Michele! – Valerie Edgar

“This was so much fun. Could have gone on for hours more. Love the group energy and synergy. Thank you all for your contributions. Michele Grace, many thanks for holding the sacred container and asking the most divinely spot on questions.”
“The secret sauce to your Initiate Retreat, Michele Grace, is creating the space for us to step in, unload, and sift through our stuff. While some of us were cleared for takeoff by the process, some of us are still sifting. And that’s okay. All ways work.LOVE your way AND your work, thank you!!”

Where are you trying to create MORE from the old order?
What if “that order” aka “what works for you” may not work for me?
Mulling this question can start to unwind your creativity.
That’s what we do at the Initiate Retreat… play. create. generate.
What does it take
to create wildly with chaos?
