Join Stef Bourke and Carrie Schaefer for a full-day retreat designed to activate your energy, awaken your creativity, and bring a sense of sparkle to the start of the new year.
Held in the invigorating full moon energy of Aquarius, this retreat invites you to move, breathe, and awaken your energy—building momentum, clarity, and optimism as you step into what’s next.
Through movement, sound, meditation, and creative visioning, we’ll focus on Bright Dreams-bringing them into view through embodied intention rather than effort.
10:00 – 10:30am: Arrival, Introductions & Intention Setting
We’ll begin by settling into the space, connecting as a group, and setting intentions for the day ahead. This opening circle helps you tune into your energy, share with others and clarify what you’d like to ignite this new year.
10:30am – 12:00pm: Yoga Flow, Sound & Guided Meditation
Guided by Carrie, this energizing flow yoga practice is designed to awaken the body, increase circulation, and build vitality. Through continuous flow and breath, you’ll shake off stagnant energy from the past year and create space for renewed focus and enthusiasm. We will land in a restorative yoga shape where you will be guided in a sound journey paired with a grounding, expansive guided meditation, allowing the energy generated through movement to settle and integrate. This is a space to receive—letting insight, clarity, and inspiration naturally arise.
Following the meditation, you’ll be given quiet time to make notes on anything that surfaced—sensations, images, ideas, or intentions—capturing what feels meaningful before moving into the rest of the day.
12:00 – 1:15 pm: Nourishing Lunch (Included)
A thoughtfully prepared lunch with vegan and vegetarian options will be provided. Please let us know if you require gluten-free options or have other dietary needs.
1:15 – 3:00 pm: Vision Board Workshop - Bringing Energy into Form
We'll begin with a manifesting visualization meditation to keep your energy activated and your insights fresh, and move into creating vision boards that reflect what you want to cultivate in the year ahead. A vision board serves as a visual anchor, helping you stay focused on what matters most and where you want to direct your energy. Using images, words, and symbols, you’ll create a tangible representation of your bright dreams for the year. You’re welcome to bring any personal images or photos you’d like to include. Magazines and all materials will be provided.
3:00-3:30 pm: Closing Circle
We’ll close the day with a short grounding practice and sharing circle to integrate the experience and leave feeling energized, clear, and inspired.
