Description
About this event
Start the new year with a day for yourself.
The Art of Becoming is a six-hour retreat day for putting down what you’ve carried through 2026 and making room for what you want from 2027. Fourteen people, two spaces, and a full day to move, reflect and create.
We begin in a circle, then move. Awakening Flow may include sun salutations, hip openers and gentle spinal movement. Free Your Energy follows — intuitive movement, stretching, shaking and free movement to gentle music, to release the energy you’ve been holding. A short meditation settles you before the heart of the day.
Then you build your vision board: close to three hours, on a foam board, with printed images, word cards, stickers and embellishments ready on the table. You’re welcome to bring your own photos or magazines too. We pause midway for light snacks and drinks.
Near the end of the day, we gather in a circle to share our boards.
We close in the hammocks with yin — restorative, heart-opening poses held for three to four minutes — followed by sound healing, making space for something new.
Shuchi Shah of Nitya Sadhana Yoga & Movement leads the circles, movement, meditation, yin and sound healing. Palak Dhorajiya of Palak StudioInk guides the vision boards.
No experience needed.
Included: your foam board and all vision board materials, light snacks and drinks, and every session of the day.
Fourteen spots.
