Join us for a transformative one-day retreat that invites you to reconnect with the elemental forces of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.

This immersive day is designed to help you release emotional blockages, awaken your mental clarity, and ignite your inner strength.
Morning: Grounding with Earth & Expanding with Air. We begin the day by grounding ourselves in the nurturing energy of Earth. A gentle grounding meditation and a mindful nature walk will help you connect with the Earth’s solid presence beneath your feet, promoting stability and inner peace. This practice will center you, allowing you to feel anchored and ready for the day ahead.
Next, we transition to the expansive energy of Air. Through deep breathwork and a mindful reflection session, we’ll clear mental fog and open ourselves to new insights. You will learn to invite clarity and mental focus into your life, letting go of limiting thoughts and allowing space for fresh ideas to emerge.
Afternoon: Cleansing with Water & Igniting with Fire. After a nourishing lunch, we turn to the healing power of Water. Partake in a cleansing ritual with the element of water to move you through emotional blockages, helping you release stuck feelings and create space for emotional renewal. You’ll be invited to journal or reflect on what no longer serves you and let go of any emotional burdens, allowing the water to wash them away.
Finally, we close the retreat by calling upon the dynamic and transformative energy of Fire. A sacred fire ceremony will invite you to release any lingering fears, doubts, and obstacles, allowing you to reignite your passion, vitality, and purpose. Through candles and intention-setting you will tap into the transformative power of Fire, embracing new possibilities and empowering yourself to take action.
Closing Ceremony: Integration and Reflection.

Fourth Annual Novena
2025-05-13 - 2025-05-21 | Elevated Arts, 7223 W. Laraway Road, Frankfort, IL, 60423, United States
In Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Holy Child of Remedy.
This year, our Fourth Annual Novena is dedicated to the sacred bond between Our Lady of Guadalupe, the universal mother, and the Holy Child of Remedy, the embodiment of innocence, hope, and divine love. Together, they represent a powerful symbol of healing, unity, and renewal – qualities that our world so desperately needs today.
The Holy Child of Remedy: A Sacred Legacy
This year’s novena also features the Holy Child of Remedy, a miraculous and historic statue from Madrid, Spain, dating back to 1902. For forty years, this sacred image was venerated in the chapel where it was originally housed. After the rediscovery of the original Holy Child of Remedy statue, this particular one was entrusted to the care of the nuns, who lovingly preserved it for decades.
When unforeseen roof damage to their convent left in them in urgent need of funds, a man who restores religious statues acquired the Holy Child to assist the sisters. Though he did not initially intend to sell it, after much discernment, he allowed me to acquire this cherished image. Now entrusted to our community, it will be blessed and dedicated during the novena.
Known for inspiring miracles and healing, the Holy Child of Remedy has brought countless faithful comfort and grace in times of trial. This devotion serves as a reminder of divine care and the profound hope that sustains us, offering strength and solace to those seeking healing – whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
A Novena for Peace, Healing, and Unity
This nine-day journey of prayer and reflection invites us to come together, lifting our hearts to pray for a better world:
For peace in our hearts, families, and nations.
For healing of those who are suffering in body, mind, and spirit.
For unity to strengthen our bonds with one another and create harmony in our world.
What is a Novena?
A novena is a sacred practice of prayer and meditation over nine days, rooted in ancient spiritual traditions. It offers a unique opportunity to focus our intentions, align with divine energies, and open our hearts to transformation and renewal.
This novena, though inspired by Catholic tradition, transcends religious boundaries, inviting all to participate in this spiritual journey. Together, we honor the mother and child, lifting prayers for healing, unity and a more compassionate world.
Candle Service-
As part of this novena, we are offering a special candle service that allows you to participate wherever you are. On the first day, a candle will be lit in your honor, symbolizing your intentions joining with those of the community.
You may also dedicate candles for loved ones or family members, with each candle available for $22. These candles will be blessed and lit throughout the novena serving as a tangible symbol of faith, hope, and love.
Send Your Intentions-
We encourage you to share your personal intentions for this novena -prayers for healing, peace, gratitude, or guidance. These intentions will be uplifted throughout the nine days, uniting the hearts of all participants.
Let us come together to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Holy Child of Remedy, praying for a world filled with peace, love, and healing.
