Maybe you have been on a long path of growth and sense there is a dimension you have not yet reached. Maybe you are just beginning to feel the pull toward something deeper — a more purposeful, aligned, and expansive life — and you are ready to take a real first step.
Wherever you are, if something in you is ready, this retreat was designed for you.
Most personal growth approaches work at the level of the mind and emotions. They are valuable — and they have a ceiling. The reason so many people plateau, even after years of dedicated work, is that the root of where we get stuck lies deeper: in the spiritual blueprint, the energetic foundation that underlies everything else.
This retreat works at that level.
ABOUT THIS RETREAT
Something has been calling you.
Through ancient tools from the 3,000-year-old Mystery School lineage of King Salomon — tools that have been passed down and proven across generations, not invented last year — participants receive initiations, healings, and teachings that activate lasting shifts at the source. The results people report are not subtle adjustments. They are fundamental re-orientations.
Dr. Erin Bannink brings you an unparalleled experience informed by the scientific maturity and integrity she has embodied from over 20 years in clinical medicine and integrative healing to deliver a true Mystery School training in one rare space — where ancient wisdom, grounded practical application, and spiritual initiation meet.
WHY THIS WORKS
Two things set this path apart from everything else.
01
A PROVEN PATH. NOT A NEW ONE.
The tools and teachings in this retreat come from the Western Mystery School tradition in the lineage of King Salomon — a 3,000-year-old initiatory path that has
supported human transformation across cultures, centuries, and generations. Dr. Erin did not create this.
She was trained and certified through the Modern Mystery School International to transmit it. What you receive here is not a personal methodology — it is ancient technology, intact and unaltered, proven to work.
02
WORKING AT THE ROOT. NOT THE SYMPTOM.
Most healing and growth work addresses the mind and emotions — the upper floors of the human structure. This work goes to the foundation. Through Life Activation and Initiation, we work directly with your spiritual blueprint — the energetic architecture that underlies your thoughts, patterns, and experience. When the foundation shifts, everything built on it shifts too. This is why participants report changes that feel sudden, deep, and lasting — not incremental.
IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?
This retreat is for those who are ready.
Whether you are beginning your journey or have been walking a path of growth for years — if something in you is genuinely ready to be transformed, you belong here. The only prerequisite is willingness: to do real work, to implement new practices into your daily life, and to understand that lasting change requires your active participation.
01
You are just beginning to sense
that there is more available to you — more peace, more purpose, more aliveness — and you are ready to take a real, structured first step rather than continuing to search on your own.
02
You have done significant personal development work — physical, mental, or emotional — and have hit a ceiling. You sense there is a spiritual dimension you haven't yet effectively accessed, and you are ready to go there.
03
You are spiritually curious and
open, but not bound to a single
religious framework. You are
looking for something practical,
ancient, and proven — not just another inspiring talk, but tools you can actually use.
04
You understand that no one can do your healing for you. You are a hard worker, willing to invest effort in your growth and to implement real changes in how you live — not just consume content and return to the same habits.
05
You are a high-performer, a healer, a caregiver, or a leader who has found that external achievement does not create inner fulfillment — and you are ready to cultivate the inner alignment that makes your outer life truly meaningful.
06
You may be a veterinary professional or a pet parent who has found, through love and loss, that the bond with an animal has opened something spiritually significant in you — a door you are now ready to walk through.
WHAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCE
Real results. Reported by real people.
The shifts people report after Life Activation and Empower Thyself are not subtle refinements. They are fundamental changes — in clarity, energy, emotional freedom, and the felt experience of daily life.
"
Empower Thyself was such an amazing experience, far beyond what I anticipated. After the weekend, I was confident I would experience slow, gradual progress. Imagine my surprise during my trip home to find that my decades-long airplane phobia was completely gone. Every day I am bothered less by the small things. I am kinder to myself. I can live in the present without anxiety for what the
future holds.

Empower Thyself Retreat
"
I had been having trouble getting up in the morning and unable to sleep until late at night. After my Life Activation I went to bed early, and at 5:30am woke with my brain
buzzing and spent three hours in a creative flow creating content for a project I'm working on. It felt like me again.

During my session I could feel support — and that feeling hasn't left me. Since the Life Activation I have noticed subtle changes: feeling more confident in my day-to-day decisions, seeing the individual power we each possess. We are not alone. Everything we say, do or think matters and impacts the people in our lives.

You will never want to go back as your old self ever after an Empower weekend. The packing list was light — a pen, a journal, and to come open, ready and willing. What if you allow yourself the time and space to be happy? Tips to do this life better, theories, and collaboration with other students. It was unlike anything I could have imagined.

Since the retreat, I’ve found it easier to approach challenging aspects of my work with focus and confidence, and I feel more grounded and present with my family and myself. This experience created a meaningful and positive shift in my energy and overall mood. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves and foster lasting personal growth.

YOUR GUIDE
Dr. Erin Bannink
BOARD-CERTIFIED VETERINARY ONCOLOGIST
GRADUATE DIPLOMA, VETERINARY CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
SPIRITUAL GUIDE, HEALER & METAPHYSICAL TEACHER, HERMETIC LINEAGE OF KING SALOMON
CERTIFIED BY MODERN MYSTERY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL
FOUNDER, DIVINE POWERHOUSE CENTER FOR HEALING AND ENLIGHTENMENT
Dr. Erin Bannink has spent more than two decades sitting in exam rooms with pet parents on some of the hardest days of their lives. As a board-certified veterinary oncologist, she guided families through the fears and uncertainties that accompany a cancer diagnosis — and over time, she noticed something medicine alone could not explain. Some patients and their people found a different kind of peace. Others struggled not just with the diagnosis, but with the weight of fear, overwhelm, and disconnection. It became clear that healing was not just physical. It was emotional. It was spiritual. It was relational.
Already grounded in science through her training at Hope College and Michigan State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, she expanded her approach to include acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, earning a Graduate Diploma in Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine through the College of Integrative Veterinary Therapies. Today she practices Integrative Oncology at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services in Michigan, lecturing internationally on this integrative approach.
Driven by a desire to understand the deeper forces shaping human and animal experience, she followed a spiritual path many seekers know well — gathering wisdom from Christian and Native American traditions, Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism, yogic philosophy, and meditation — yet still sensing something essential was missing. That search led her to the Western Mystery School tradition, an ancient initiatory lineage designed not just to inspire, but to transform. Today she is a Spiritual Guide, Healer, and Metaphysical Teacher in the Hermetic lineage of King Salomon, trained through the Modern Mystery School International.
What makes her work unique is her ability to bridge two worlds that are often kept separate: science and spirit. Her journey through a high-achieving medical career revealed a truth she now shares openly: external success alone does not create fulfillment. True healing — and true purpose — emerge when we bring all parts of ourselves into coherence. She founded Divine PowerHouse Center for Healing and Enlightenment to offer others the tools, initiations, and guidance to do exactly that.
