WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS
Herbs for Resilience
Sunday, 9:30–11:30 AM
Plants have been our healing allies since time immemorial, however this “medicine for the people” that can grow in your garden has been eclipsed by high tech pharmaceutical medicine over the past century. Today more and more people, disillusioned by side effects and high costs, are embracing herbal medicine to help keep their families healthy. We will be exploring a class of herbs called adaptogens that help your body cope with stress. Excess stress hormones can affect the balance of the whole hormonal system; it is estimated that 75-90% of all doctor’s visits have a stress-related component! Creating customized plans to help clients deal with stress using adaptogens and other natural remedies is a big part of what I do as a naturopathic doctor. You will get to taste and experience these herbs as we make some delicious recipes together to spark that inner glow!
Intuitive Glow Flow
Saturday, 4:00–5:30 PM
Step into your Spiritual Glow Up through this welcoming and uplifting hour of embodied freedom. We’ll begin by sharing a cup of ceremonial-grade cacao, opening the heart and awakening the senses for the movement ahead. The Intuitive Glow Flow invites honest reflection on what holds us back from moving authentically and brings awareness to old patterns and self-judgments. Through minimally guided, intuitive movement, you’ll release what no longer serves and move in harmony with your inner rhythm. No set choreography—just flow, presence, and liberation set to inspirational music. This practice is a joyful invitation to let your inner light lead the way into 2026—open-hearted, radiant, and free.
Kindling Your Heart Fire
Sunday, 11:30–1:00 PM
In every season of becoming, there is a sacred tending—the practice of keeping your inner fire alive. Kindling the Heartfire is a slow, soulful flow designed to awaken warmth, courage, and connection from within. Through breath-centered movement and reflective stillness, we’ll nurture the steady flame that fuels transformation and lights the path forward. This practice invites you to nurture your inner spark — the part of you that radiates warmth, courage, and vitality. Think of it as an inner alchemy practice: transforming stillness into energy, softness into strength, and self-awareness into radiance. Slow flow, all-levels.
NVC-Asana
Saturday, 11:30–1:00 PM
Express yourself! We'll explore verbal and non-verbal methods of communicating what your heart and other muscles desire. Pair your emotional needs with helpful vocabulary + embodied movement. Develop the awareness and skills needed to navigate conflict while living in alignment with your body and soul. [NVC = nonviolent communication]
Release and Receive
Sunday, 2:00–3:30 PM
Let go, so you can let in. In this soulful practice, we’ll move through gentle, grounding static postures that awaken the body’s natural tremor response — a deep, instinctive release of stored tension and emotion. As the old unravels, space opens for light, peace, and renewal to flow through. This is where surrender becomes strength, and healing becomes receiving. Come home to your body, soften your heart, and step into the new year open and free. Jamie Martell will end the session with a guided Yoga Nidra practice.
Sankalpa Ceremony: Speaking Intention into Reality
Sunday, 4:00–5:30 PM
We close the weekend by anchoring what has been awakened. This powerful ritual begins with gentle movement to energize the body and pranayama to clear the mind, preparing you to journey inward and receive spiritual guidance. From that deep space, you’ll craft your sankalpa—your soul’s vow for the year ahead—and speak it into being through sacred ritual. Together, we’ll weave our individual intentions into a collaborative community art piece, a living spell of light and devotion to hang in the studio as a reminder of our shared transformation. This is where inspiration becomes embodiment, and intention becomes magic.
Soulful Visioning
Saturday, 2:00–3:30 PM
Through guided meditation and visualization, you’ll explore the areas of your life that matter most, uncover the emotions you want to cultivate, and distill them into meaningful intentions. From there, you’ll craft a vision board and choose a guiding word or phrase for the year—one that serves as a touchstone and daily reminder of the life you’re intentionally creating.
Spiritual Glow-Up
Saturday, 9:30–11:00 AM
What is a spiritual glow-up—and how do we invite one? This opening session sets the tone for the weekend as we explore what it truly means to evolve from the inside out. When the practices or beliefs that once sustained us begin to feel dull or outdated, it’s a sign we’re ready for an upgrade: new software for the Soul. Through reflection, movement, and guided meditation, we’ll identify what’s no longer serving and make space for renewed connection to Spirit. This workshop offers fresh tools, grounded rituals, and embodied practices to help you rekindle your light and step into 2026 with clarity, courage, and sparkle.
