HEALING TESTIMONIES
“I can honestly say my life has changed for the better in a blink of an eye. I can not begin to express how grateful I am to you for giving me the tools I’ve been looking for my whole life. My session with you was amazing!”—P.S., San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
You are a true healer. I always feel blessed to be in your presence; you continually remind me of the Divine. I definitely felt a shift during and after our session and there’s no doubt it had something to do with the positive results I received at my doctor’s appointment. Every little touch — from the music, crystals, rattle, feather, and even the cards for affirmations afterwards — created such a safe and sacred place for me. You are a beacon of light and love.”—K.M., USA
“The intense healing I received from Chloe helped to open me up to past life traumas and grief and to clear karma so that my current life can progress without continuing to carry burdens from the past. I feel lighter and free to better continue this life’s journey as a Lightworker. I felt surrounded by a healing golden light. In the days and nights after, I experienced vivid dreams and visions that helped to process past grief and prepare me for the work that is to come. I highly recommend this healing experience for anyone — especially all Lightworkers, Star Seeds and Indigos.”—C.P., Registered Nurse, USA
“Wow! Your ability to tap into my past life and clear the stabbing wound literally feels like you removed a knife from my stomach! I feel like I just had an amazing, empowering energy transformation. Thank you for providing a relaxing and safe environment for my energy soul healing. I am amazed that you could channel such powerful energy. I feel like I can now understand and move past my karmic struggle in that lifetime.” —A.J. USA

We’ll enjoy meditations/visualizations, psychic ability empowerment, chakra activations, and lively discussions about how we can participate in the evolution of the new earth… a world where truth and the ethos of love (e.g.: Law of One) are the guiding forces.
All who are interested in spiritual growth and evolution and getting to know others who are “on their wavelength” are welcome.
NOTE: Bring a chair, pillow, or towel to sit on, an open mind, and energies of love, receptivity, and curiosity.

After five years of hosting our Gatherings at Camp Hope, which we dressed up and transformed into Camp LovEvolution for three powerful days and nights every year, the dream of finding and creating our own sanctuary for the LovEvolution year round has been realized.
So time to reunite and celebrate this evolution of the LovEvolution in pioneering and anchoring the new paradigm. Time to dance, sing, pray and celebrate on the beautiful 200 plus acres of wilderness that is cradled in a mountain valley bounded by rivers two miles of rivers, just north of Asheville.
During the gathering we’ll also be holding the first Sunday service for the recently created LovEvolution Fellowship Church in its new LovEvolution Lodge – Event Center and Chapel. These Sunday fellowship services will then continue on the first Sunday of every month.
We are powerful co-creators of the world we experience. To cultivate the world of our dreams we will share dozens of heart and mind opening workshops and events – including Ecstatic Dance, Song and Fire Circle, Drumming, Musical Performances, Ceremony, Celebrations, Compassionate Communication, Sacred Relationship, Qi Gong, Sound Healing, Yoga, Shamanic Breath Work and more.
There will also be opportunities to immerse yourself in nature by hiking the land, soaking in the hot tubs, cleansing in the sauna and swimming in the natural swimming pond and rivers.
