Come join me as I co-host this upcoming workshop! As you arrive at the workshop, I will offer each participant an auricular acupressure treatment using 24k gold earseeds designed to calm your mind and body which will help you relax into the mini-retreat.

At the start of the hypnosis session, I will offer a mini-acupuncture treatment using various points to connect up to spirit, to your intuition, to your heart, to your gut instincts, and one to connect you down to earth. The acupuncture session will calm your nervous system and help ease you into a deeply relaxed state, perfect for self-hypnosis and guided meditation. 

The day will include a yoga practice with a curated playlist, meditation, acupuncture, auricular acupressure, hypnotherapy and a New Moon Circle where you explore the first eclipse of the year to understand the lessons it is highlighting and how best to work with this energy. All offerings will be built around heart-openers and creating new space inside the body to welcome new perspectives, ideas, and space for the change the new season will bring to us.

I hope to see you there!

Detailed Description:
Spring is often thought of as a time of rejuvenation and growth in nature. We see shades of green returning to trees and the color of plants beginning to blossom all around us. The creatures of the world begin to awaken from the hibernation of winter months and we open our windows, clean out our homes and venture back outside into the world with renewed hopes, dreams and goals. At this mini-retreat we will gather in community to celebrate the beauty of our world and harness the power of this special season.

Yoga with Becca
“Spring Has Sprung” flow + playlist, curated with the intention of growth, rebirth, and a new beginning. The equinox is always a time to reflect with the purpose of positive change ahead.

Moon Circle with Sarah Boss
April welcomes in the first eclipse of the year, a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aires. Eclipses are a powerful time of transition, sudden change and soul growth. This eclipse will set the tone and theme for the rest of the year. In our Moon Circle, we will explore this eclipse to understand the lessons it is highlighting and how best to work with this energy.

This Moon Circle will include:
• An overview of what is happening astrologically and the themes it presents.
• A meditation specially tailored to the energy of the moon that will allow you to release anxiety, center your intentions and move forward towards your highest potential with confidence and clarity.
• A healing activation to let go of blockages and step more deeply into your power.
• Intuitive card readings to connect with your inner knowing and find the solutions within to a challenge.
• Journaling prompts to inspire self-awareness and help you integrate intuitive insights.
• The opportunity to connect with an inclusive community and create a sacred space for growth and transformation.

Hypnosis Based Meditation + Acupuncture with Michael Carson and Susanna Satten

At the start of the hypnosis session, Susanna will offer a mini-acupuncture treatment using various acu-points to connect up to spirit, to your intuition, to your heart, to your gut instincts, and one to connect you down to earth. The acupuncture session will calm your nervous system and help ease you into a deeply relaxed state, perfect for hypnosis. 

This hypnosis based meditation is based on the philosophy that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. We move in and out of trance throughout our day whether one is aware of it or not. Self-hypnosis is a tool that can be used to rapidly shift emotional states and to achieve rapid and deep relaxation, insight and healing. This meditation will be geared toward providing you with simple self-hypnosis techniques that you can use anytime to help you achieve your goals and find a relaxed stated with ease. Additionally, participants will be encouraged to set an intention to receive intuitive insight on a particular goal or area of life that they would like to see blossom this spring.
