Sunday Wind Down Mini Retreat

For those that feel tired but wired — this is the boost of energy & release you're craving.

 

You know that feeling when you're exhausted but your brain won't shut off?

When you're running on fumes but can't stop moving?

When Sunday night rolls around and instead of feeling rested, you're feeling restless and dreading Monday morning?

 

Yeah. That's exactly why we created this.

Unwind, reset, and reconnect at our Sunday Wind Down Mini-Retreat — a relaxing afternoon designed to help you release tension, clear your mind, and ground your energy for the week (and month) ahead.

 

Here's what we're doing together:

🧘‍♀️ A rejuvenating yoga flow to move and awaken your body (both energizing AND calming — we balance yang/vinyasa with yin/restorative)

🖊️ Guided journaling to process those stuck-on-repeat thoughts and get you thinking clearly again (we'll work through what's keeping you wired)

🕯️ Grounding meditation & restorative practice to finally quiet your mind (so good for resetting your nervous system)

 

What you'll walk away with:

✨ Restored energy (so you can stop mainlining coffee to function)

✨ A decompressed nervous system (so you can think clearly instead of operating in survival mode)

✨ Permission to press pause on the holiday hustle (yes, really)

✨ Tools to handle your endless to-do list with ease and grace instead of panic and overwhelm

 

This is your permission slip to slooooooow down and take a necessary moment just for you.
