Join Will and Anya for a morning of meditation, somatic practice, mindful movement, nature connection, and collaborative drawing in community.

Together, weโ€™ll slow down, listen deeply, and explore how awareness can take form through the body, movement, and shared presence. No artistic experience is neededโ€”only a willingness to be present with what arises.

After practice, youโ€™re welcome to stay for an optional mindful potluck lunch.

Suggested donation: $15โ€“45.
No one turned away for lack of funds.

Awaken Your Inner Child โ€” Spring Retreat ๐ŸŒฟ

In the rush of life, we often lose touch with the tenderness, joy, and wild creativity within us. This retreat is a gentle return.

Through mindfulness, self-compassion, nature, and creative practice, weโ€™ll reconnect with the parts of ourselves that still long to be seen, felt, and free. No fixing. No performing. Just honest presence, play, and belonging.

Come as you areโ€”shy, expressive, uncertain, open. Everything is welcome!
