About this Event
As the holiday season approaches, life has a way of asking more and more of us. More energy, more planning, more giving, more doing.
But what if, before stepping into the busiest season of the year, you gave yourself permission to simply receive?
Receive & Be Nourished is an intimate, restorative afternoon dedicated to slowing down, reconnecting with yourself and experiencing the simple pleasure of being cared for.
Together, we'll create space to step away from the demands of everyday life and explore soothing rituals that invite relaxation, presence and a deeper sense of nourishment.
Through sound healing, herbal and aromatic practices, guided hypnosis and moments of intentional connection, you'll be invited to settle into your body, quiet the noise and make a little more room for yourself.
No expectations. No pressure to do or achieve anything.
Just an afternoon to arrive as you are, take what you need and leave feeling a little more grounded, rested and restored.
