𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆: Women's Workshop!

Calling all identifying females! We're excited to share one more specially curated women's workshop with you, scheduled on the FIRST DAY of summer (June 21), alongside our wonderful partner Tina at Breathe Luna Zen. We hope you'll join us for this evening of inner and outer exploration, which will start with guided relaxation and a deep dive into guided breathwork with Tina (on a beautiful, private deck overlooking nature). Following your breathwork experience, you'll be offered a forest bathing opportunity in the forest with Katie to help you lean into presence, reflect, and integrate your breathwork journey. Whether you are interested in joining us for the full retreat in August and would like a glimpse into what we'll be exploring, OR you'd just like a evening of self-care and connection alongside other females, this workshop is for you!
