Help me banish my demons!

Looking for a peaceful, restorative mini-vacation to take at the end of October. Suggestions needed.
This Halloween will mark an important anniversary of a traumatic event. I'm looking to get out of town for a few days, maybe even a week, to do some healing.
Ideally, I'd like to go on a retreat of sorts, or some other spiritual journey, the kookier the better. (Originally I was considering a visit to Lily Dale, but I imagine that Halloween will be a bit too touristy there.)
A few important requirements:
• No Halloween themes
• Inexpensive, or at least relatively inexpensive
• Not interested in Christian retreats
I enjoy yoga and am -- for the purposes of this trip, at least -- completely open to all things new-agey. Bring on the reiki, realign my chakras, ask my dead relatives for advice.
I'm aware of the Omega Institute, but again, I need to keep costs down and would prefer to get out of New York state altogether.
Bonus points if you can think of a place similar to Lily Dale, with its myriad mediums and healing services.

Trinity Center, Pine Knoll Shores, NC? In particular, the Sound to Sea program.
Disclaimer: I haven't been to the place, but know people who have. I'm not sure how much actual religious overtones are there. The people I know who've been aren't overtly religious.
