ACCESS GRANTED
When was the last time you gave yourself permission to feel?
To be vulnerable, open and raw?
In the US, men have been conditioned to believe they should behave, think and act a certain way. We are here to change that. Conditioning has led us to believe that men have to be hard, tough, always strong, never emote anything or express a vulnerability, never depend on anyone, never ask for help, deal with any issue internally and never have a need for healing, relief, support, connection, sharing or softness.
At the Access Granted Retreat we will provide a safe, open and adventurous container for men to explore and find new levels of peace and acceptance. You will hear from Teachers, Leaders and Healers who have chosen to walk a different path- and are here to help you walk a path of your own. At this retreat you’ll hear stories and engage in interactive workshops where you’ll learn techniques to help you identify and release trapped emotions and/or energy in your body. You’ll have opportunity to share, ask questions, and bring your curiosity with zero shame and judgement.
Your ACCESS is GRANTED.
Step in and join us.

Mo is a Coach, Energy Healer, Speaker, Retreat Facilitator and Podcast Host. She graduated from the University of Washington with her Masters in Social Work and has been manifesting her visions ever since. She has been teaching, leading retreats and speaking for 10+ years now. She started I love it when in July of 2020 and works with a variety of individuals, companies and entrepreneurs. Mo brings her passion, energy and presence to everything she does- and she is known for being relentless in her pursuit.
It's time to reconnect with your inner voice and align with your soul. Mo believes a balance of both the logical and intuitive minds is the next era of leadership.
“To say that I love to host and facilitate retreats would be an understatement… I have been creating, hosting and facilitating retreats since 2017 with anywhere from 5 to 40 participants. The amount of energy I channel as I’m creating these experiences and then DURING the experience is unreal. My body lights up and I get JACKED as I feel my way through how I want everything to go and who I envison at these events. When I’m creating a retreat I focus a lot of my attention on creating the safest container that I possibly can. In many ways- I believe this is a reflection of the container I wish to help create for this planet and all of us who live here. I believe in a world where people feel safe to be themselves. Not only safe- but ENCOURAGED and cheered on to be YOU! The moment you say YES to this experience and retreat- our energies will begin to flow together and we’ll all begin to feel the shifts- even PRIOR to our gathering in May. You see… intention is everything. And I intend to create a massive amount of love at this experience alongside YOU.
I can’t wait to see you there! TAKE THE LEAP and join us at Access Granted.” -
Tom Harrison is proud of many things— his 14-year career as a competitive swimmer, his Economics degree from Princeton University, and his 16 years as a litigation attorney. He is most proud, however, of two accomplishments. First, he intentionally raised his son using play as a platform to build trust and teach values. As a result, he severed generations of parenting through physical violence. Second, he learned to heal his body of its deep physical and emotional wounds– including chronic asthma, anxiety, and PTSD– through practices that include visualization, talk therapy, Tai Chi, yoga, and Qi Gong. His company, Planet Mynd, delivers play programming and workshops that emphasize communal coexistence, active creation, and in-person connection. Through its Blaster Battle Play Program, mentoring program, modding workshops, and activity zones for community events, the company has guided, coached, and connected thousands across Snohomish County.

I am a strong, gentle, compassionate, loving and funny man. I am a loving husband and proud father of 7 children (6 girls, one boy), which means sometimes I get things right, and many times I get it wrong. I embrace sharing my learnings and tools for communication with other human beings, especially men. As an elder I support men in leaning into our biggest strength which is our ‘vulnerability’. Our vulnerability allows us to unlock our gifts and become the best versions of ourselves in all aspects of our lives, especially as fathers and husbands.
I am writing a book on relationships with my wife, Dawn. We both have been married 3x, so yes third time was the charm! We are both leadership coaches and facilitate workshops on relationships and healthy communication.
I am the CEO and founder of Winning Edge, Inc. Winning Edge provides team building, leadership development, and defining/strengthening their organizational culture. I serve as a coach, facilitator, and trainer for select non-profit organizations and corporations,
I am honored to be a co-founder of College Summit now PeerForward, Inc., a national social non-profit organization that is now over 25 years old. PeerForward’s mission is to connect students in low-income communities with higher education and careers so that they receive the opportunities and achieve economic mobility that come with a postsecondary credential. I designed “Rap Training,” a leadership development training program for alumni that trains them to motivate and coach peer leaders at summer workshops and at their respective schools. Over 250 College Summit staff and alumni have gone through the training program. Many of the training program graduates have gone on to be the CEO’s, entrepreneurs and Leaders in their own companies and businesses around the country. I developed in-school youth development tools for PeerForward that are used in classrooms around the country.

A note from Mo:
We have been talking about creating a retreat for men for a few years now. I’ve been creating and hosting retreats since 2017 and the majority of my attendees have been female and/or identify as female. That was not my original intention, to serve primarily women, but I think it naturally took place because that is my primary perspective (well, one of them) in this world.
I also grew up with 3 brothers and have felt the tug to share what I’m learning more intentionally with men. I see a gap in access to healing and I’d like to help provide a bridge. I have met a lot of men in my journey of 44 years thus far on this earth- and have seen a pattern in men feeling a lack of safety to express and share emotions in a healthy manner. Between pressure from society, families, friends and however you were raised to think, believe and act- it takes intention and time to unwind that conditioning and start to live from your true self. I have had the privilege of experiencing more and more peace from the work I’ve done for myself- and I want to help YOU access this same peace.
I am SO excited and thrilled to be co-leading this with my partner, Tom Harrison. In the 5 years that we’ve now known each other- it’s been like creating a version of our own personal video game when it comes to our approach and perspective with healing and growth. We have found a way to provide each other with a safe container, a place where we can share without fear of retribution or harm, and it’s time for us to share what we’re learning with more people.
This retreat will be a combination of what I usually provide my attendees and what Tom sees and understands is a need from the male perspective. It will be an adventure.
A healing experience.
An opportunity to claim your true self and relax into that space.
You will meet new friends, forge new habits and leave with new tools that you can utilize DAILY.
Take the leap and experience something new!
I can’t WAIT to meet you.
A note from Tom:
It is time for me to finally share one of my secrets. At the age of 3 months, I turned blue in my mother’s arms. Chronic asthma was supposed to confine me to a small, isolated, and restricted life, its only abundance being its supply of medication. Instead, with my parent’s help and by embracing the life of a competitive swimmer, I broke free of my body’s prison. In the process, I turned the years of restriction and solitude into a superpower– the ability to focus inward and connect with my own body. Still, I have struggled as an adult, through career crises, surviving a near death-experience, finding purpose, and healing from the trauma of a difficult and sometimes abusive upbringing. I credit my use of this superpower and unlocking its amazing healing and feeling abilities, with the clarity, access to joy, and connection that I experience today.
I’m eager to make room for us all on the road. This road isn't walked, it’s built. It has no destination, but it has a lot of rest stops and scenic overlooks along the way. The road can never be traveled alone. The road’s name is happiness.
Many of my best decisions– starting a high school swim team without a coach or even a pool, becoming a radio DJ, starting my first novel, attending a writer’s retreat, seeking therapy, joining the yoga/tai chi center, seeking therapy again, and seeking therapy again– were because I was either fed up with the pain I was feeling or I was open to having MORE in my life.
If you regularly feel either of those feelings, then this men’s retreat is for you.

I am a healer, using my gifts as both a psychic and an energy worker to support others on their path to self-discovery and healing. The information I receive psychically comes from Spirit and from whatever Source is most appropriate for the person I am working with. This may include passed-on loved ones, Angels, Teachers, Masters, Guides, our Higher Selves, and more. I share this information with you so that you may integrate it into your life experience and take steps toward healing whatever has surfaced during our work together.I have had these gifts since childhood, but I initially kept them to myself once I realized that others did not share these abilities. As a form of self-protection, I remained quiet about them. In my early twenties, I slowly began to open up about my abilities, using greater discernment than I had as a child. Around the same time, I also embarked on the long journey of healing from childhood trauma—an ongoing process that has deepened my understanding of both myself and my work. I have come to understand that I cannot give what I do not have, nor can I guide others to places I have not been myself. The clearer I become internally, the greater my ability to express my gifts with precision and purpose.
A large portion of my experience and knowledge comes from being part of a meditative study group that met weekly for 35 years. The class was channeled and taught by an Ascended Master named Kuthumi. We explored a vast range of spiritual teachings, including the Tree of Life (Kabbalah), Hermetic Doctrine (the laws governing energy), the Rays, chakra work and clearing, meditation, grounding, manifestation, and working with different aspects of the Self. We also learned how to recognize and remove limiting beliefs from our consciousness. Through this experience, I gained profound knowledge, tools, and wisdom, all of which I continue to utilize and share.
I am called to service, supporting others who seek clarity and deeper integration of Self. It is an honor to witness and be part of another's healing journey—this is what I am here to do.

Kai is a Kahuna, which is the Hawaiian version of a shaman. She is an author, mentor, speaker, teacher, and energy healer. She has developed the ability to see, hear, feel, taste, and smell to receive information from the spirit realm. She has opened doorways for the dead to pass through and opened windows for the living to see the potential for their future. She has used energy to help those who wished to heal and for those who wanted to return to Source. Her strongest ability is seeing angels, ghosts, demons, and things she doesn’t have names for. With that ability, she can also see energy that is discordant with someone’s energy signature and transmute it or remove it and replace it with energy that is for that person’s highest good.Kai’s greatest strength is removing negative energy and entities from people, places, and things, allowing others to feel better, sleep better, and feel more secure in themselves and their homes. She is a science-oriented geek by nature and loves to experiment with energy. With the help of her friends, guides, and ancestors, she is constantly reshaping her understanding of the world and expanding her cosmology. One of the things she enjoys most about experiencing new ways of using energy is that she gets to share what she knows and looks forward to how others will use that knowledge and hopefully return to share something new with her, beginning the cycle again.
You’re going to walk away from this retreat with….
NEW TOOLS to help you tap into your inner knowing, ground, clear your energy and remove negative energy/lower frequencies- so that you can make decisions in your life with clarity and peace.
CLARITY on what you can do next in life to FEEL more peace and self love.
A RENEWED SENSE of hope and optimism.
AN ENERGETIC upgrade. (We’ll share more about what this means- but think: less things weighing you down or taking up your head space!)
NEW FRIENDS and connections!
Something MIRACULOUS and unexpected- I like to leave space for the unknown… you never know whats possible when you leave space and create with intention!

"The Unplug From Fear Retreat has had a profound impact on my life.
It hasn't been until the last few years that I've been able to focus attention on myself and take care of my needs.
I came to this retreat because I know it's time. I've been holding onto a lot of energy and pain that never belonged to me.
I am DONE putting myself last.
This retreat gave me the opportunity to let go of all that no longer serves me- and I gave myself the space to be me and let it go.
Between the speakers, fellow attendees and Mo- I was supported, loved and celebrated.
One example I'd like to share is that I've had pain in my stomach for the last 5 years. Every morning and evening- I have had to use a warm compress to help ease the pain. During the retreat- I experienced a breathwork session where I was able to see and sense where I had stuck energy- and the practitioners helped me release it from my body! Starting that night- I had ZERO pain in my stomach.
And that pain has been GONE ever since the retreat. If you're on the fence about whether or not to go to the next retreat- get off the fence and lean in.
This container is a SAFE place for you to heal and Unplug From Fear, just as I did!”
