2025 Workshop Descriptions
All of the workshops listed below are included in the cost of registration.
The Body as Compass: Resilience Through Hormone + Nervous System Wisdom with Ashley Shrader
This workshop will explore the powerful connection between the hormone and nervous systems, and how restoring balance in these systems supports energy, clarity, and emotional regulation. Through the lens of functional medicine and nervous system regulation tools, we’ll explore evidence-informed strategies to support resilience—both physiologically and emotionally.
Participants will leave with accessible tools, daily practices, and a deeper understanding of how to listen to their bodies as a source of insight and direction.
A Beauty Ritual of Sisterhood with Eyliana Gibson
Join Eyliana for Crowning Glory, a sacred and celebratory beauty ritual rooted in connection, care, and community. This immersive workshop invites women and femmes of all backgrounds to slow down, honor the body, and reconnect with ancestral and contemporary traditions of crown tending.
Together, we will engage in practices that celebrate the beauty and significance of our hair, our adornment, and our bonds with one another. Through the rituals of braiding, oiling, and decorating our crowns, we honor not only our personal stories but the lineage of women who came before us.
Guided in a nurturing, affirming space, we will:
• Tend to the crown: Learn nourishing scalp and hair care rituals that center self-love and ancestral wisdom.
• Braid with intention: Explore the history and symbolism of braiding while sharing and receiving styles with one another.
• Adorn the self: Play with beads, flowers, fabric, and jewelry to express your unique beauty and creativity.
• Celebrate sisterhood: Reflect, share, and hold space in circle, honoring the power of community and collective care.
This experience is about more than beauty — it’s about being seen, celebrated, and held. Leave feeling grounded, glowing, and connected.
All textures, identities, and levels of experience are welcome. Bring your whole self — and maybe a scarf, a story, or an offering.
RESONATE SOUND CEREMONY with Eyliana Gibson
The Resonate Sound Ceremony is a sacred symphony, weaving together Tibetan brass, alchemy and quartz crystal singing bowls, voice and drums; as well as other consecrated shamanic instruments, to take you or your group on an immersive anodyne journey. This enchanting experience recalibrates the whole body and the energy of the sentient form shifts into higher, expanded states of consciousness. Upon completion, you'll feel a sense of deep relaxation, calm and experience restorative healing.
Psychic Development Workshop – Part 1: Foundations of Energetic Integrity with Alisha Higley and Amber Weaver
Before opening your intuitive gifts, it’s important to build a strong energetic foundation. In this two-hour workshop, we’ll focus on the essentials of safe and ethical psychic work. You’ll learn how to ground your energy, set strong boundaries, and protect your space with intention.
We’ll also explore the importance of ethics in intuitive work and how to approach your gifts with care and integrity. This session is perfect for anyone just beginning their journey or looking to reconnect with foundational practices.

Psychic Development Workshop – Part 2: Foundations of Intuitive Development with Alisha Higley and Amber Weaver
In Part 2, we’ll dive deeper into your intuitive development. You’ll explore the clairs — clairvoyance, clairsentience, claircognizance, and clairaudience.
We’ll introduce simple channeling practices and work with divination tools like oracle cards and pendulums.
✨ Open to those who attended Part 1
✨ Bring any divination tools you’d like to work with (optional)
The A’s of Art and Activism with Sofía Carbone
The A’s of Art and Activism is an introduction to creating social justice art that seeks to transform hearts and grow community. Workshop participants do not have to be self identified artists or feel like they need to have perfected an art or social justice form. All are welcome to discover and explore!
After receiving an overview of how art and activism work together and insight into the A’s of art and activism, workshop participants will be led through a guided meditation to help them connect with their art medium and cause they care about. Workshop participants will break into groups with people who share interest in their same cause/ social justice issue and together, they will support one another in identifying their A’s of art and activism.
The hope is that each workshop participant has a foundation to build their art project once they arrive home after the retreat, as well as stay connected with others from their breakout session for accountability and collaboration.
Workshop participants will need to bring: something to write with and write on and/ or a device to record voice notes in liu of writing.
