Agenda
Welcome & Sacred Opening Circle | 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Begin the day by arriving fully into the space and into yourself. Participants will be welcomed into a supportive and nurturing environment where intentions are set, connections are formed, and the foundation for transformation is created.
Workshop I: Recognizing the Shift | 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Releasing What No Longer Serves You: Transformation begins with awareness. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the limiting beliefs, emotional burdens, stress patterns, and outdated narratives that may be keeping them stuck. Through guided reflection and self-discovery exercises, women will deepen their self-awareness, identify emotional blocks, examine the impact of stress on the nervous system, and begin releasing patterns of perfectionism and people-pleasing. Participants will leave with greater clarity, renewed insight, and a stronger connection to the values that support a more authentic and aligned life.
Somatic Movement & Sacred Dance Journey | 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Moving Through the Shift: The body holds stories the mind cannot always access. Through guided somatic movement and intuitive dance, participants will gently release stored stress, reconnect with their bodies, and awaken their authentic expression.
