Twin Vision Hub — Roots & Return 2026

This Is Not a Retreat. It's a Return.

May 1–3, 2026 · TLC Ranch, Cornville, Arizona · 30 minutes from Sedona Space limited to 20–25 guests · Registration closes April 15, 2026

"Hózhó nahasdlíí'." Beauty is restored. — Diné Blessing Way "Ichigo ichie." One time, one meeting. Treasure it. — Japanese tea ceremony "Grįžtis — tai drąsa." Return is courage. — Lithuanian proverb

You've Been Performing Long Enough.

You've done the work. You've checked the boxes. Built the career, held the family together, shown up for the community. You know, intellectually, everything you're supposed to know about wellness, purpose, and living well.

And yet something is blocked. Not burned out — blocked. You can feel it. The sense that you're one conversation, one moment of stillness, one honest reflection away from something shifting — but that moment keeps not arriving.

Roots & Return is designed for exactly that moment. Not to push you harder or give you more tools to manage yourself. But to create the conditions — land, animals, guides, community, and science-backed ancestral practices — for something to release that has been waiting a long time to be released.

Four Years at the World's Most Celebrated Wellness Sanctuary

Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico — founded in 1940 — is one of the oldest and most respected wellness sanctuaries on earth. For the past four years, Tony Skrelūnas and the Twin Vision team have had the honor of bringing Indigenous wisdom into that circle, leading workshops on ancestral foodways, trauma-healing ceremonies, talking circles, and the practices you will experience at Roots & Return.

Over those four years, we heard the same words from executives, healers, and people carrying more than they knew:

"I've been looking for this my whole life."

Roots & Return is the culmination of everything we learned at Rancho La Puerta, shaped by the land we love and brought home to Arizona. It is more intimate, more raw, and limited to 20–25 people who are ready for it.

The Place: TLC Ranch, Cornville, Arizona

Thirty minutes south of Sedona, beside a sacred creek that Indigenous peoples have gathered at for thousands of years, TLC Ranch is a working ranch alive with horses, open pastures, birdsong, and the particular quality of stillness that only land with deep memory can hold. The air carries sage and juniper. The horses know things. The creek has been listening longer than any of us have been alive.

Japanese research on shinrin-yoku — forest bathing — confirms what Indigenous peoples have always known: immersion in natural environments reduces cortisol, lowers blood pressure, and restores the nervous system in ways no indoor environment can replicate. The land begins its work the moment you arrive.

The Gatherment: What Two Days Actually Looks Like

This is not a retreat with a packed schedule that sends you home exhausted. It is a gatherment — a circle of strangers becoming relatives. The arc is designed for restoration: slow arrival, deep immersion, integration, and return.

Friday Evening — Optional Arrival

Arrive early and join Twila Cassadore for an herb walk — gathering wild sage and mint from the land around the ranch. This is not orientation. It is the first session. The land begins teaching immediately.

Saturday

• Morning walk to the creek and meditation with Diana Munger — beginning the nervous system reset the entire day is designed to deepen

• Meet the herd — introduction to the horses by the local ranch family, who share the stories of this land and these animals

• Navajo lunch prepared by Missy, Henry, Bruce, and Jada — every meal a teaching, every dish a ceremony

• Horse connection and success coaching with Tom Chee, with ambient sound by Nicole Stinger

• Healing writing workshop with Denise Masayesva — guided writing and art that anchors what the body has been learning

• Sound healing and restorative nap with Nicole Stinger — crystal bowls, vocal toning, and the kind of rest most people have forgotten how to take

• Ancestral Kitchen dinner with Twila Cassadore — hands-on preparation of traditional foods, a celebration of culture, story, and the sacred relationship between humans and the earth

Sunday

• Yoga and somatic movement with Diana Munger — gentle and restorative, preparing the body for the day's deep work

• Navajo breakfast — slow and nourishing, prepared by the Navajo family cooks

• Horse wisdom immersion with Tom Chee, Nicole Stinger, and Diana Munger together — three decades of combined wisdom in a single session

• Intertribal lunch — the table as a sacred circle

• Intentional sound healing — carrying what the weekend's work has unlocked into a place the mind cannot follow but the body will remember

• Ancestral Wisdom Council and closing circle with Tony Skrelūnas — you leave not with a notebook full of notes but with a direction

• Farewell creek blessing — the land receives what you are ready to release. You leave lighter than you arrived.

A Circle of Masters

Every guide at Roots & Return has spent their life — not their weekend certification — learning how to hold this kind of space.

Twila Cassadore — Apache Food Keeper Featured in the documentary Gather and the Esquire Network's Taste the Nation. Twila has spent her life recovering, growing, and teaching the traditional foods of her Apache people. Her Ancestral Kitchen sessions are not cooking classes — they are ceremonies. The food she prepares heals things that cannot be named.

Tom Chee — Diné Horseman Radio personality, Navajo language teacher, and one of the most respected horsemen in the Southwest. Tom has spent his life in the ancient, sacred relationship between the Diné people and the horse. Guests consistently report that his sessions produce the most unexpected and profound shifts of the entire weekend.

Tony Skrelūnas — Diné & Lithuanian Systems Architect Founder of Twin Vision. Former Navajo Nation executive. PhD candidate. Author of The Ancestral Watch Series. Four consecutive years leading Indigenous wisdom sessions at Rancho La Puerta. Tony leads the Stone Breath, Ancestral Wisdom Council, and success coaching — bringing Diné, Lithuanian, and Japanese ancestral frameworks into a single integrated practice for modern leaders.

Diana Munger, DPT, SEP™ — Somatic Healing Doctor of Physical Therapy and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with twenty years of experience. Diana's sessions — meditation, somatic movement, yoga — work directly with the body's intelligence. She joins Tom Chee in the horse wisdom immersion, creating a session that operates simultaneously on the physical, emotional, and relational levels.

Nicole Stinger — Sound Healer Crystal bowls, vocal toning, ambient sound, and extended sound journeys. Nicole's work creates a frequency environment that the body recognizes before the mind does — dropping guests into states of deep rest and emotional processing that years of conventional therapy sometimes cannot reach.

Denise Masayesva — Hopi Creative Guide Hopi nonprofit leader and creative guide. Denise holds the pen as a ceremonial tool — a way of making visible what the weekend's work has surfaced, so it can be carried forward rather than forgotten.

Missy, Henry, Bruce — Navajo Family Cooks Every breakfast and lunch is prepared by this Navajo family whose food carries the memory of generations of feeding people well. Sit at the table. Eat slowly. Let the food do what food was always meant to do.

Ancient Practice. Modern Science.

Your ancestors did not need peer-reviewed studies to know these practices worked. But for those who want to understand the mechanisms:

The Stone Breath — A two-minute breath practice passed down through Diné generations activates the vagus nerve, shifting the body from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest. Research shows daily practice reduces cortisol by 25–30% and improves emotional regulation by up to 40%. A 2025 study in Scientific Reports found long-term meditative breath practices are associated with measurably younger brain age.

Horse Healing — Horses respond to your heart rate, breath, and posture, providing immediate honest emotional feedback. A 2026 Fortem Australia study confirmed statistically significant trauma symptom reduction through equine-assisted interventions. A 2025 Mississippi State University study documented serotonin synchronization between humans and horses during interaction.

Sound Healing — Crystal bowls and vocal toning stimulate the vagus nerve and induce theta brainwaves associated with deep relaxation and emotional processing. Research shows reduced cortisol, increased oxytocin, and improved sleep architecture.

Breathwork & Somatic Movement — A 2025 PLOS One study found breathwork can reliably evoke profound altered states with participants reporting significantly reduced fear and negative emotions.

Ancestral Wisdom Council — University of Waterloo research found that taking an elder's perspective increases wisdom-based reasoning by 30%. UCLA neuroscience shows imagining connection with a supportive figure activates the same brain networks as real supportive relationships.

Food as Medicine — Meals combine ancestral Indigenous foods — blue corn, wild herbs, beans, squash — with Mediterranean-aligned principles consistently identified as among the most anti-inflammatory and longevity-promoting diets on earth.

Rest & Pacing — The schedule is intentionally unhurried. Spaced rest improves memory consolidation and emotional integration. Deliberate rest reverses the inflammation markers that chronic stress produces.

Who This Is For

Roots & Return is for people who are not broken. It is for people who are blocked.

The executive who has built something meaningful but feels disconnected from why it matters. The healer who gives continuously and has forgotten how to receive. The leader who knows all the right frameworks but senses something their ancestors knew is missing from all of them. The person who has been quietly carrying grief, uncertainty, or the weight of being the one who holds everything together — and who is ready to set it down.

You don't need to know anything about Indigenous culture to attend. You don't need to be Native. You need only to be willing to show up, put your phone away, and let two days of extraordinary guides and extraordinary land do what they know how to do.

Horses don't care about your title. They care if you're present.

Registration closes April 15, 2026. Space is limited to 20–25 guests.
