About this Event

Return to Your Heart is a day to help you remember who you are beneath the pressures of everyday life.


You're burned out... and you want to feel your life force pulsing in you again.

You're tired of chasing achievements... and you want to return to your wholeness.

You're tired of wearing all the hats... and you're ready to remember who you are beneath them all.

You're tired of always being the one who takes the lead... and you just want to be held in softness for a day.


If this sounds like you, you're invited to spend the afternoon with us on Saturday, November 8th, for an experience that will leave you feeling refreshed, recharged, held, and most importantly, re-energized to return to life with newfound inspiration, love, clarity, and connection to Self.


This 4-hour experience combines the magic of Somatic Bodywork, Yoga, and Sound Healing with the heart-awakening properties of Ceremonial Mexican Cacao to help you release stress and stagnant emotions, inviting clarity and healing.


Your ticket includes the full experience, plus complimentary drinks and snacks (vegan & vegetarian options) to delight in throughout.


All you need is:

  • A yoga mat (extra available if needed)
  • Comfortable clothing for sitting and moving
  • A journal (optional, to note any insights)
