Valley Gals Travel Club

~ Australia focus with Jessica ~

Introducing Valley Gals Travel Club — a new travel community led by Jessica Valiant, hosted at Vicki Tree and created for people who share a love of travel, connection & culture.

All genders welcome.

This will be offered a few times over the year and each gathering will explore a new destination through inspiring stories, travel insights, open conversation, and shared experiences.

Our inaugural offering will explore Australia beyond the typical tourist experience — from hidden gems and unforgettable adventures to wildlife encounters, laid-back coastal culture, and the unique lifestyle that makes Australia so loved by travellers around the world.

We’ll chat about where you can spot kangaroos and koalas in the wild, (without going to the Zoo), which experiences are truly worth it, how much time you really need to explore Down Under, and why pairing Australia with New Zealand or a South Pacific cruise can create the ultimate journey.

About the lead, Jessica:

Jessica is a bona-fide Travel enthusiast who has travelled to 39+ countries with a goal to reach 50 by age 50! She brings plenty of wanderlust energy, creativity and a suitcase full of experience. Buckle-up - you're in great hands for this adventure!

Live Mediumship

"Messages from Spirit"

Rose DeGiorgio is back again in June and July. She is a Spiritual Medium, Founder of Heaven On Earth Healing Centre. 

Rose's work is centred on delivering messages that bring comfort, clarity and a deep sense of peace. During this two-hour live event, Rose connects with loved ones who have crossed over, delivering evidential messages from spirit to members of the audience. These messages often include validation, shared memories, personality traits, and heartfelt communication, offering reassurance that our loved ones remain present and connected.

While not everyone in attendance will receive a personal reading, all guests will have the opportunity to witness the process of mediumship and experience the profound ways in which loved ones communicate from the other side. Many find that even observing the connections brings a strong sense of comfort, insight, and shared healing.

Live By the Moon

~ with Pamela Fitzgerald ~

Live by the Moon is constantly shifting, guiding a natural rhythm of energy, rest, clarity, and change that exists within all of us.

Join Pamela as she invites you to reconnect with that cyclical nature and begin moving in a way that feels more aligned, intuitive, and your own.

Through an embodied and intuitive exploration of the Moon’s phases, you’ll begin to recognize how these patterns influence your energy, emotions, and inner clarity, offering a more steady and authentic way of moving through life.

Cacao is shared in ceremony as a sacred, heart-opening ally, gently quieting mental noise and deepening connection to what feels true and grounded within. From this space, somatic and intuitive movement allows the body to express, integrate, and reconnect, bringing a sense of wholeness and ease.

This is where clarity begins to emerge, not through effort, but through returning to something natural and already within you.

Fall Grief Retreat

~ offered quarterly every year~

Vicki Tree invites you to experience a day of renewal and hope at our Fall Grief Retreat. This retreat is an offering — a sacred space to be with your grief, held in compassion and quiet support. Whether it has been one year or twenty, the grief process always deserves a moment of pause — to remember, reflect, and acknowledge all that was, and all that now is. This one-day retreat will do just that. 

This retreat allows space for both grief and hope to coexist, encouraging participants to gently tend to the potential for renewal and personal growth, even when it feels fragile or unformed. 

Through reflection, stillness, and connection, this day will be a beautiful, uplifting part of your lifelong journey of tending to the slow, steady process of healing. We welcome you to join us.

We hope to be on the Forest Plank deep in the woods for part of the day.

The retreat consists of a workshop, circle discussions, connection to nature through gentle hike, nourishing lunch, gentle movement release and our hot stone relaxation sound immersion class where you can just let go.

Date: Sunday October 4th 9 - 4pm
