🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:30 PM
Option 1 | The Vision Beyond the Board: A Life Design Workshop (Part 1)
Host: Vision Board Leader: Kristina Smith

Info: [ $20 ADD-ON] Are you shaping your life, or letting life shape you? This isn’t just about cutting out pictures and gluing them on a board—it’s about crafting a vision that challenges you to face your fears and break through your self-imposed limits. In this workshop, we’ll go through the vulnerable yet necessary journey of challenging your limiting beliefs and designing a life you truly want to live. This isn’t about checklists or surface-level goals, but about creating a life that actually fits who you are now. Whether it’s landing that dream job, finally taking that solo trip, or building the work-life balance you’ve been missing—it’s about creating a life that’s real, actionable, and aligned with your next chapter.


So, the real question is: Are you done waiting for “someday”?



🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:30 PM
Option 2 | Reclaiming Presence: A Ritual on Healing and Connection
Host: Ritual-Maker: Heather Stringer

Info: We are meant for connection—not only with others but with ourselves. Yet trauma, unexpressed grief, and the relentless pace of life pull us away from this essential relationship. When pain lingers unspoken, when grief remains unexpressed, our inner world becomes distant, unheard, and unknown.


In this ritual, we will slow down and listen. Through embodied practices, guided reflection, and expressing what we've known through symbols and gestures, we will create space to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that have been waiting for our attention. This is an invitation to step out of survival mode and into presence—to name what has been buried, to honor what has been true, and to discover the goodness of who you are.



🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:30 PM
Option 3 | Healing Through Color: A Hand-Painting Journey
Host: Artist: Samantha Tang

Info: Step into a safe, soulful space where you’ll be guided to explore your inner world through expressive painting — using your hands as your primary tool. This is not about technique or making “art,” but about emotional release, self-discovery, and healing through intuitive creation.


- You’ll paint with your hands

- You’ll express what words often can’t capture

- You’ll take home a personal canvas — a reflection of your emotional landscape


This workshop will allow you to process emotions in a non-verbal, freeing way. Whether you're moving through grief, joy, confusion, or simply seeking clarity, the canvas becomes a container for it all.


No art experience needed — just a willingness to feel and create.



🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:30 PM
Option 4 | The Art of Fermentation & the Science of Gut Health
Host: Functional Wellness Coach: Ashley Osborne

Info: A hands-on kimchi-making workshop led by celebrated chef Ko-Chin Ong and wellness expert Ashley Osborne, FNP.


Learn traditional fermentation techniques from a chef trained at top NYC restaurants like Le Bernardin and Nobu, while gaining practical gut-healing protocols from a functional medicine nurse practitioner. Come ready to mix, taste, and leave with your own jars of radish and napa kimchi—plus science-backed tools to support your gut, boost immunity, and improve digestion.



🕑: 01:00 PM - 01:45 PM
Option 5: Zero-Proof Wine Alternative Tasting
Host: Sober Tastemaker: Sam Bail

Info: Join us for a guided tasting of alcohol-free wine alternatives and explore the world of sparkling teas, kombucha, and verjus. These wine alternatives are great options for food pairings, offering complex flavor profiles without the alcohol. Whether you're sober-curious or just looking for something exciting to sip, you'll leave with fresh ideas and new favorites. Led by Sam Bail, the founder of Third Place Bar, a series of alcohol-free pop-up events in NYC.



🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:45 PM
Option 6: Blind Tasting: Connecting With Your Wine
Host: Wine Enthusiast: Aaron Bjerke

Info: [ $30 ADD-ON ] Wine can often feel intimidating, but at its heart, it’s meant to be an experience of joy and discovery. Learning which grapes your palate loves is a fun and empowering way to bring both confidence and delight to any dinner. In this blind tasting workshop, you’ll explore a few wines and begin to identify your favorite grapes—making each sip a step toward deeper enjoyment. Whether you're brand new to wine or a seasoned enthusiast, this experience is designed for all levels and all lovers of good conversation, good company, and joyful exploration.

Option 1 | The Vision Beyond the Board: A Life Design Workshop (Part 2)
Host: Vision Board Leader: Kristina Smith

Info: **Please note: this is a 3-hour workshop divided into two creative parts. To ensure continuity, please register for both sessions when selecting this workshop** Are you shaping your life, or letting life shape you? This isn’t just about cutting out pictures and gluing them on a board—it’s about crafting a vision that challenges you to face your fears and break through your self-imposed limits. In this workshop, we’ll go through the vulnerable yet necessary journey of challenging your limiting beliefs and designing a life you truly want to live. This isn’t about checklists or surface-level goals, but about creating a life that actually fits who you are now. Whether it’s landing that dream job, finally taking that solo trip, or building the work-life balance you’ve been missing—it’s about creating a life that’s real, actionable, and aligned with your next chapter.



🕑: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Option 2 | The Art of Human Connection
Host: Content Creator: Eric Jeng

Info: We all crave connection — yet many of us struggle to create it. We default to surface-level small talk. We ask closed-ended questions. We hesitate to go deeper, afraid of saying the wrong thing or being too vulnerable. In a world that often feels disconnected, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and rediscover the power of genuine human interaction.


Led by Eric Jeng — a former finance professional turned global storyteller known for his heartfelt street interviews — this session draws from thousands of real-life conversations with strangers. Eric will guide you through what he’s learned about presence, curiosity, and the simple yet powerful ways we can make others feel seen.


Through reflection, storytelling, and hands-on practice, you’ll leave with tangible tools to create deeper, more meaningful connections in your everyday life.



🕑: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Option 3 | Meditative Calligraphy
Host: Calligrapher: David Chang

Info: Explore how the rhythmic movements of calligraphy can become a moving meditation. Let go of mental chatter as you lose yourself in the fluid lines, allowing each stroke to ground you in the moment.


Whether you choose to inscribe uplifting mantras, poetic verses, or your own personal intentions, this workshop offers a sacred space for mindfulness through artistic expression. No previous experience is needed, just an open mind and heart.



🕑: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Option 4 | Somatic Storytelling to Release Your Emotions
Host: Movement Alchemist & Facilitator

Info: Our bodies are constantly communicating with us and it is important to honor its visceral voice. This workshop explores the power of movement and its ability to heal and restore our access to our intuitive nature through both the individual and collective experience.


Eileen will guide participants through gentle stretching, presencing and embodiment practices to allow individuals to feel into what is present within their internal world; providing resources and tools to help build energetic discernment. The group will then be invited to share their somatic story through gesture and movement, first in pairs / small groups then all together, to create a collective movement piece that conveys the overall themes within the space.



🕑: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Option 5 | Floral Arrangement
Host: Gather Artist: Echo Chen

Info: [ $30 UPCHARGE ] Who doesn't love flowers? They're the vibrant sign of spring, a bringer of joy in celebration and hard times, and one of nature's most lovely art forms. In this workshop we’ll explore our relationship to flowers, learning the feelings of different colors, textures, and forms of floral composition. We’ll spend some time free-drawing with our whole bodies to get comfortable with our own natural flow, and do the same with the flowers. We’ll shake and tap the flowers to get a sense of how each flower moves, listening to their organic nature and to how they want to be. Attendees will learn the basics of picking and preparing flowers, tips for arranging, and how to maintain your arrangement for as long as possible. Most of all, we'll have fun, explore new things, and play together!
