about the retreat
This Journey To Your Sacred Heart Retreat is the fruit of Mark and Marcia Mariner’s thirty years of work as therapists, coaches, and group facilitators.
Ever knowing of the positive core that resides within every human being, they have devoted their lives to developing experiential tools that bring forth the best in each person. Their work has served as a roadmap for evolving humans to live out their full potential and to embody their unique contribution to our planet.
After decades of research and experimentation, Mark and Marcia have identified five dimensions of the heart, the sacred heart being the culmination and the most luminous dimension. This retreat is a direct transmission of that discovery, guiding participants into the embodied experience of their own sacred heart.
the journey to your sacred heart
Your Sacred Heart is a rediscovery of your radiant heart. It is your heart full, strong, gentle, humble and serene. It iswhere your heart feels closest to Source, to all beings, to planet Earth and to the outer reaches of the universe. Your humanness and your divinity become one lived experience here. Your wounds and your survival patterns are accompanied and transmuted bythe tenderness and non judgment of your sacred heart.
this retreat is offered both as
A personal retreat for those wishing to deepen their own embodied heart practice and a training experience for facilitators, coaches, therapists, healers, lightworkers, and guides who want to bring this work into their offerings with clarity, integrity, and presence.
If you are attending primarily for personal exploration and renewal, you are fully welcome. You can participate in all practices without any expectation to teach, lead, or perform. It will be your time to receive, integrate, and connect.
FOR THOSE PARTICIPATING AS FACILITATORS
IN TRAINING
You will receive additional support in:
• Understanding the structure and intention of each practice
• Integrating the five dimensions of the heart for yourself fully
-
Learning how to hold group space safely and ethically
• Working with breath, writing, and sharing processes in a grounded way
• Integrating heart-centered work into existing modalities or
offerings
This training emphasizes embodied understanding over technique, inviting facilitators to teach from lived experience rather than scripted methods.
You are welcome to choose the level of engagement that feels right—there is no requirement to facilitate or teach unless that is your intention.
your hosts
Beyond the retreat experience, Mark and Marcia train facilitators who feel called to carry this work into the world. Through immersive mentorship and facilitator development pathways, they support leaders to embody and transmit heart-centered processes with integrity and depth.
They are devoted to cultivating heart-coherent community — spaces where individuals gather not only for personal transformation, but to accelerate collective evolution.
Most of all, they are committed to their own inner journeys.
Meeting all who say yes to this path with unconditional love, compassion, and a deep understanding that comes only from a devotion to exploring their own depths, dimensions, shadows, and light.

Marcia & Mark Mariner
retreat co-hosts
Daughter of Mark and Marcia, Micaela takes after her parents in her mission to anchor in healing, authenticity, and joy on the planet - not through force or pretend, but through a willingness to meet the darkness with curiosity and compassion, then share openly and honestly about her process.
This mission led her to create an online sanctuary for other souls on their healing journeys to connect through the shared experience. She is passionate about discussing the highs and lows that come when you commit to re-opening your heart and remembering your true nature to help others feel less alone in their experiences.
Micaela will be here as a participant as well as a leader of various rituals that have deeply supported the emergence of her sacred heart. Combining breath, yoga, qi-gong, and dance, she is here as a steward to help us root our expansion into our bodies and express ourselves fully. She is filled with joy and excitement to connect and share with you all.
