Join us for an hour-long exploration of astrology, not as prediction, but as a map of your inner world. On this New Moon in Libra, we’ll gather to learn how balance and appreciate ourself through our planetary parts: the Inner Child (Moon), the Hero (Sun), the Challenger (Mars), and more. You’ll discover how these parts relate to each other, where they might be in conflict, and how to meet them with mindfulness, wonder, and self-love. A way to listen to yourself more deeply, to understand why you do what you do, and to bring all your parts into greater harmony. And will include a short guided meditation. No astrology experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to meet yourself in a new way.

The journey to rest is not passive — it is an intentional practice, a way of relaxing with purpose. By connecting into the five senses, we cultivate deeper states of calm, peace, and joy. Through the lineage of yoga, you’ll learn pranayama breath techniques while aromatic scent notes of floral, pine, and wood bathe the nervous system — guiding it into states it rarely gets to visit, and stay. Woven through with deeply supportive restorative yoga poses, this immersive session leaves you reset from the inside out. 75 minutes | All levels | No yoga experience required. Come as you are, dressed for ease. Bring an eye pillow or mask to deepen into the experience.

“ENERGY CARWASH
with Eliza Swann and Reverend Angel Favorite Feeling energetically depleted, scattered, or weighed down by the accumulated residue of daily life? Join artist, author, and educator Eliza Swann and energy healer Reverend Angel Favorite for a restorative group energy clearing designed to refresh the body, mind, and subtle energetic field. During this 60-minute immersive experience, Eliza will guide participants through a meditation and visualization that introduces the different layers of the aura while gently clearing and revitalizing them. As the meditation unfolds, Angel will offer hands-off energetic attunements using handcrafted copper and crystal tools, helping participants release stagnation and reconnect with a greater sense of clarity, vitality, and ease. Drawing on the research behind Eliza’s book The Anatomy of the Aura and Angel’s extensive training in Reiki, energy healing, and mediumship, this session blends practical energetic literacy with deep relaxation and renewal. Participants will leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and better attuned to their own energetic awareness.”

Wardrobe Rituals: Memory Talismans is a hands-on creative wellness workshop about the power of what we wear, carry, and choose with intention. Participants will explore how color, texture, symbols, and personal objects can support memory, self-expression, and a deeper relationship to style as a daily practice of care. After a brief introduction, each participant will choose a focus: honoring someone or something they want to carry with them, inviting a future self or quality they want to embody, or releasing an old story, role, or pattern they are ready to put down. Using provided materials and reference resources, participants will create a personal talisman and seal it with intention. This workshop invites curiosity, creativity, and reflection on how adornment can become a meaningful wellness practice.

This hour of meditative self-care will walk participants through an experience that weaves together the insightful power of oracle cards and a special kind of comforting touch called *Havening. Workshop attendees will be guided through a self-reflective practice that culminates in the use of self-applied soothing touch to achieve a feeling of deep self-connection and inner calm. Not only will you experience something powerful in the moment but you will also takeaway a new practice for ongoing nervous system self-care at home. *Havening is a psycho-sensory healing modality that can be used to down-regulate the nervous system by amplifying slow brain waves, in addition to other therapeutic effects. This group experience will use the self-havening form of this practice rather than the therapeutic form applied by a trained practitioner.

Effort & Surrender is a one-hour session designed to guide you through the full arc of yoga practice — from dynamic movement to deep rest. We open with an Ashtanga-based Vinyasa flow: a breath-driven, intelligently sequenced practice rooted in tradition. Expect intentional movement, steady breath, and the grounding quality that comes from practice with clear form and purpose. Some level of experience is required — this class is open to all levels and will be taught with accessibility in mind. We close with Yoga Nidra, a guided practice of constructive rest sometimes called “yogic sleep.” Lying down and fully supported, you’ll be led through a structured relaxation that allows the body and nervous system to integrate the movement that came before. Participants often describe Yoga Nidra as one of the most deeply restorative experiences in their wellness toolkit. Come as you are — all you need to do is show up.

An improv workshop is a guided, interactive session where participants play games that help develop active listening, observational and collaborative skills while having fun. We create unscripted scenes where we learn to be present in the moment. Initially, we play kindergarten like games to break the ice where you say your name and one sentence about anything. After the introductions, we learn to play the, “Yes, And” game. This teaches us to accept what our scene partners say and then, we add our own information. Hopefully, participants will feel free to be silly in an environment where we play games that help us to become less self conscious and judgmental.

Sonic Immersion is an immersive sound bath or contemplative lie-down concert which will draw from Sasha Bogdanowitsch’s extensive instrument collection of original and global winds, strings and percussion and his background in the world’s musics from countries such as India, Indonesia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. This ever evolving sonic tapestry will aid the listener in their own sonic journey, relaxation, stress reduction, and/or meditation by immersing participants in resonance and overtones.
