There are moments in healing when you realize your path is part of something much greater—a sacred circle of transformation. That realization has led to a powerful evolution in Central Florida’s spiritual wellness community.
Ginger Cleland, the radiant healer behind Spirit Rizing – Bodywork & Energetics, is answering that deeper call. As a trauma-informed Reiki master, spiritual mentor, and PTSD specialist based in Maitland, Florida, Ginger has long supported veterans, first responders, and couples seeking healing through holistic bodywork and energy medicine.
Her journey began with the co-founding of Oasis of Life Retreats, a safe, sacred space for emotional release, spiritual awakening, and heart-centered connection. Oasis quickly became known for its soulful ceremonies, Shamanic healing practices, and support for trauma survivors, especially those navigating the demands of service careers or relational healing.
In 2023, Ginger was divinely led to launch her own offshoot Central Florida retreat: the Rizing Earth Retreat, a 3-day immersive healing experience in Geneva, Florida. This retreat focused on deep detox, emotional integration, and earth-based energy healing for the same communities and within Central Florida, it was set to become a grounding space to be held, seen, and reconnected to purpose, yet Spirit had other plans.
Now, the journey comes full circle.
Rizing Earth Retreat and Oasis of Life Retreats are merging once again, this time with even more wisdom, clarity, and intention. This reunion isn’t just a collaboration; it’s a soul-aligned convergence of purpose. This Central Florida healing retreat is expanding the container to offer even deeper transformation, spiritual community, and Shamanic healing.
Our Central Florida healing retreat holds space for and includes:
Shamanic healing and sacred ceremony
Emotional release and trauma support
Reconnection through nature, energy work, and community
Couples’ work rooted in spiritual alignment and intimacy
Veteran and first responder-specific healing experiences
This unified retreat experience is intentionally crafted to meet the unique needs of those who serve, support, and love deeply. Whether you're recovering from emotional fatigue, seeking clarity in your relationship, or navigating post-trauma healing, Oasis of Life Retreat offers a sacred place to rest, release, and rise again.
Oasis Of Life Retreats is for: women, veterans, first responders, couples, and anyone on a healing journey home to their true purpose.
