# ❄️MATCHAMAMA WINTER CEREMONY: THE ART OF BECOMING
### Get ready to ENVISION & BECOME the best version of yourself.
#### *Every day we make a choice of who we want to become, and every decision opens a new timeline.*
Embark on a transformational winter retreat at the beautiful **Houston Arboretum & Nature Center**, a day in nature to get crystal clear on the version of you that already exists in your mind, and to start making decisions as that version of you as we bring in the new year.
The version of you that you want to become has to be created in your mind and through your actions before it materializes in physical reality. It's easy to show up when a boss, a degree, or a deadline is waiting on you. It gets truly challenging when the only one waiting is a future version of yourself. That's why it's so important to get clear on who that person is: how they live, what they do every day, and how they show up for what they want.
This is a beautiful opportunity to **reconnect with nature, with yourself, and with a like-hearted community** — all in a space curated for healing, joy, and expansion.
We'll flow through a day of meaningful practices and soulful connection, including yoga, breathwork, future self visioning, nature meditation, and a magical sound bath, all lovingly guided by Nataly - a Trauma-Informed Life Coach, Intuitive Guide, Yoga Instructor, and host of the Path to Alignment Podcast.✨
Let this day be a loving reset in the midst of winter — a chance to connect, breathe, move, and re-energize your soul.
### **🍵 WHY “MATCHAMAMA”?**
Matchamama began as a small Earth Day gathering in a coffee shop with really yummy matcha. I named it Matchamama as a blend of ***matcha* and *Pachamama***, the Andean name for Mother Earth, honoring the sacred Earth that holds and nourishes us all.
What started in that little coffee shop has evolved into a magical day retreat that has touched hundreds of hearts and transformed lives. Every season, we gather to set intentions, get clear on who we are stepping into, reset, and hold each other through the changes of life, just like the changes of the seasons.
Matchamama is more than an event. It’s a community of humans on a path of personal and spiritual growth and self-connection, creating pockets of peace and healing on this Earth. 🌍

### ✨ THE THEME IS: THE ART OF BECOMING
Becoming is a daily practice. It lives in the small choices nobody sees: what you say yes to, what you say no to, and how you show up when no one is keeping score.
Together, we'll get clear on who you're becoming, what their daily life looks like, and what choices will align you with that timeline. You'll leave with a clear vision of the year ahead and the first steps to begin living it.
Together, we’ll co-create a day that’s both grounding and expansive — an opportunity to align with the new energy of the season while anchoring deeper into our truth.

*This is a judgment free space. A SAFE SPACE FOR ALL. Please bring an open heart. We are all ONE no matter the race, religion, sexuality, gender, beliefs. My intention with this event is UNITY FOR ALL.*\*
*I want you to know that the money spent to book the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center goes directly to support the mission of the nature center which is to provide education about the natural environment to people of all ages. Also, to protect and enhance the Arboretum as a haven and as a sanctuary for native plants and animals. The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center is NOT a City of Houston park and is not funded by the city tax dollars, therefore my investment goes straight to fund the park! :)*
