Sydney Francis is a best-selling author, spiritual educator, energy healer, and ordained Reverend who helps women in midlife reconnect with their intuition, heal emotional wounds, and reclaim their inner power. Through moon classes, transformative retreats, and sacred mentorship, she guides others to awaken their spiritual gifts and live in alignment with nature's cycles.
With over 30 years of experience in trauma healing, spiritual psychology, and esoteric studies, Sydney brings rare depth to her work. She has studied under esteemed teachers like Reverend Rosalyn Bruyere and holds three master’s degrees that bridge science, art, and spirituality. Her published work includes the co-authored book The Ultimate Retreat Effect and the lunar guide Activating Lunar Alchemy.
What makes Sydney unique is her synthesis of mystical tradition with grounded healing practice. Drawing from the Lakota medicine wheel, sacred ritual, and lunar gardening,
she teaches a system of personal alchemy that transforms emotional pain into
purpose, intuition, and joy.
Beyond the titles, Sydney is a survivor, mystic, and cosmic gardener. Her journey — from childhood trauma and chronic illness to spiritual awakening — infuses her work with empathy and power. When not teaching, she can be found barefoot in her garden, sketching in her journal, or building her next sacred offering: the Soul Garden Mystery School.

Ultimate Retreat Effect
What happens when 13 authors stop trying to “push through” and start listening to what’s underneath the noise? The Ultimate Retreat Effect
is a collection of stories — it’s a blueprint for what becomes possible when you give yourself full permission to pause. Born out of a transformational retreat in Bintan, Indonesia, this book explores how clarity, creativity, and aligned action often show up only after we step away from routine and expectation.
Sydney Francis shares her personal experience from the retreat and offers insights into how intentional stillness can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.
Key Insight from “Beyond Metamorphosis” in the Ultimate Retreat Effect
Healing is not a one-time event—it’s an unfolding path. Even after achieving so much, we continue to meet new layers of ourselves. The chapter invites readers to recognize that rest, retreat, and sacred community are not luxuries—they’re essential containers for real breakthrough and deep transformation.
