Together We Rise
Releasing what was — to flow freely into what will be. A weekend where we co-create, open to answers, and amplify a shift that reaches far beyond the room.
Together We Rise is three intentional days — each standing alone, each deepening the next. Come for one, come for all. Business owners, entrepreneurs, and seekers of any background are welcome at every door.
John & Phyllis Simonetta Present
A space where we shift the energy field together — releasing blocks, opening to possibility, and amplifying that shift out into the collective. You don't need a spiritual label to belong here. You only need a willingness to rise.

Expanded awareness of your business vision
Investment $297
Includes lunch and dinner · 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (dinner 5:30 pm)
Facilitated flow
Opening Circle
A welcoming ceremony that sets the tone for the day. Meditation with intention, invitations to open to possibility, calling in support seen and unseen. We acknowledge the land, its beauty, and the space it holds.
Release of Blocks
Shared release of the obstacles, inherited beliefs, and patterns that limit what your business can become. There is unexpected power in hearing others name what you've been carrying — and in letting it go together.
Reflection and Journaling
Dedicated time to go inward, integrate what has surfaced, and begin to see what is on the other side of what you've been holding.
Lunch
A nourishing midday pause. Time to rest, connect with fellow participants, and let the morning settle.
Holy Fire Reiki Empowering Meditation
An energetic experience that opens pathways, clears residual patterns, and fills the space left by what has been released — with peace, clarity, and forward momentum.
Next Steps and Uplift Partners
Clarity on what comes next, and the beginning of a peer accountability partnership — someone who has been in the room, witnessed your work, and is ready to rise with you.
Closing and Dinner
The day closes in ceremony and gratitude. Dinner together at 5:30 pm — included in your investment — to nourish body and community before rest.

Lightning Class (A Dragon Light Technology)
Lightning, a dragon light technology for peace, returned to earth 2024 to support the evolution of humanity and beyond. This technology clears distortion at the soul level through deep heart activation, awakens remembrance of your multidimensional nature, and accelerates healing across all timelines.
The Lightning Installation
The Lightning symbol is installed in your energy field through the back heart, by way of a Light Language Activation from Phyllis. Each person's activation is unique to them. Once installed, it becomes a portal — anchoring more light and increasing your access to higher frequencies of peace and love. Lightning is activated with intention and can be used for self-healing or in sessions for others.
For more about Lightning, see Phyllis’ Lightning page.

Movement as medicine. We integrate the Lightning activation through somatic dance — freeing the body to express and anchor what has been received. No experience needed. Only willingness to move.

The Land — A Return to Nature
The final morning is held by the land itself. Laughing Waters — 900 protected acres, cascading waterfalls, ancient stones — becomes the final teacher of the weekend. We go outside, slow down, and listen.
9:30 am – 12:00 noon · Included in VIP · Details below
Guided mindful outdoor experience
Finding Your Purpose in Nature
Led by John — a Kripalu-trained mindful outdoor guide — this one-hour experience moves through gentle land acknowledgement, breathwork to quiet the thinking mind, a mindful walk with sensory invitations, a ten-minute sit in nature, and a closing expression of what has arisen. The entire experience is designed to help you feel your interconnectedness with the natural world — and hear the inner voice that knows your true north.
Participant voice
"Truly, from my heart, it was a life-changing experience that continues to resonate in my life and around it. This opportunity should not be missed."
Participant voice
"John creates a structured container for self-inquiry, guiding participants away from the noise of daily life and into purposeful presence within the natural world. With his heart-led guidance I found myself in a place of inner reflection where I felt soul nourished by the natural and unseen world."
Your Guides
Two people who kept saying yes
John and Phyllis Simonetta didn't arrive at their calling quickly or easily. They navigated marriage, parenting, anxiety, depression, awakening, financial fear, career changes and job loss, and a guided move to Asheville — and kept choosing the soul's call through every one of those thresholds. They are here because they lived it.
Once they both understood there was a bigger picture, they learned to trust, and it became easier. Ultimately they arrived at a trusting of each other completely — knowing that everything is as it is meant to be, in divine orchestration. This journey could not have been possible without an opening to all that is.
Phyllis and John intuitively guide with spirit, in joy. They follow divine guidance with invitations and experiences to open hearts and expand capacity, opening to possibilities for what could be. They offer an energetic component to deepen what the soul already knows.
