welcome!
I’m Amanda McKoy Flanagan. As a native New Yorker turned Coloradan I combine urban insights with a nature inspired philosophy for a sensible and spiritual approach to life, love, and loss.
Certified loss + empowerment coach, energy healer, bestselling author of the inspirational memoir Trust Yourself to Be All In: Safe to Love & Let Go, writing coach, motivational speaker, and host of the award-winning Sol Rising podcast, I take my passion to the next level with 1:1 private energy-infused coaching, workshops and retreats with the intention of helping people heal, transform, and empower themselves to move into the next phase of their lives with resilience, enthusiasm, and purpose.
My mission is to guide grievers (of all kinds of loss) toward unconditional love and light with radical self-worth and unapologetic authenticity through wholehearted connection to themselves, others, and the universe. I believe we can only self-actualize into our highest state of being after going through the dark and emerging into the light, and after that, very little can shake us. We are free to exist in the world untethered to the fear of potential loss, and maintain consistent high frequency energy, which holds the power to heal the collective.
I would love for you to join me in Tulum at Rising Wild and I’m here to answer any questions.

“The insight that I received helped clear away questions and concerns that I had been carrying, and I felt lighter and healthier. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to meet new amazing women, breathe in fresh mountain air, find peace of mind, and gain the wisdom to look within to create and discover a new destiny or vision.”
-Joanna S.
Every Creekside Suite boasts this stunning balcony!
“Whether you have been on a retreat before or not I must tell you that the energy work, guided meditations, and guiding prompts to speak upon and share were totally life changing for me. I needed the support to feel my emotions and to release them, but most importantly for myself to be witnessed in that release too. The group of women as a whole supported that more than I could ever put in words.”

One Story, Many Hearts: A Collective Writing Journey Through Grief
Each participant in this supportive space will write one paragraph, consecutively, that becomes part of a shared story exploring grief — weaving together multiple perspectives into one unified narrative. Amanda & Jessica will offer various prompts to which the group will select one to build upon. They will lead you through a short somatic exercise to ground into the moment, followed by writing. A volunteer will read the completed story aloud and the group will reflect on the passage.
