✨ Shedding the Snake • Riding Into the Year of the Horse ✨A One-Day Yoga Retreat for Release, Renewal & Forward Momentum
Friday, January 16th | 9:00am–4:00pm
There are moments in the year meant for deep transition.
This is one of them.
As we step out of the energy of the Snake — the year of shedding, healing, and inner transformation — we are invited to release what no longer fits… the stories, patterns, and weights we’ve carried too long.
And as we move toward the energy of the Horse, we awaken something powerful within us:
freedom, momentum, intuition, and confident forward movement.
This one-day retreat is a sacred bridge between who you’ve been
and who you are ready to become.
Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through soulful yoga, grounding breathwork, reflective journaling, and deep rest with a lovely lunch from Ruby's. — all intentionally designed to help you shed the old skin and step fully into your next season.
You’ll also take part in a Watercolor Spirit Horse Activation, a creative ritual where you intuitively paint the energy you are calling in for the year ahead — a symbolic piece you’ll take home as a reminder of your strength, freedom, and direction.
We’ll close the day with a deeply nourishing reiki restorative practice and sound bath, allowing everything to integrate on a cellular level.
✨ This retreat is for you if you are ready to:
• Release the emotional residue of the past year
• Let go of what feels heavy or outdated
• Reconnect with your inner power and intuition
• Step into the new year with clarity, confidence, and momentum
• Create space for freedom, joy, and aligned movement forward
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to be willing to listen.
This is your invitation to soften, shed, and rise.
Friday, January 16th | 9:00am–4:00pm
✨ Limited spaces available
