Awaken and strengthen your intuitive gifts through guided exercises and practices, empowering you to trust your inner wisdom. Take part in a guided visualization to increase intuition and connect in with guides. Guests will have the opportunity to share what they experienced. Use intention, heart/brain coherence, and frequency to create clear action steps to continue to move toward your soul calling. Learn ongoing ways to stay in alignment with your higher self. We will be doing group and individual oracle card pulls from the Sacred Forest and Hidden Worlds deck to build intuition and your connection to the groups energy and the elements.
12:00-1:00pm Gourmet lunch & Alchemy Speakeasy (Provided Onsite) Enjoy a gourmet lunch at the Alchemy Speakeasy! Get to know the group, walk the forest paths, sit by the pool, or relax indoors.
1:00-2:15pm Encaustic / Intuitive Wax Art
Encaustic / Intuitive art involves using intention setting, color frequency, and connecting into your intuition to read the art like an oracle card. The application of different colored heated wax onto art cards, allowing the melted wax to create pictures that are not only stunning to look at, but can be inspired by the spirit world or a psychic inspiration. Use your intuition or scrying to discover hidden messages, faces, or mysterious worlds in the art. Used as a tool for meditation, to focus on themes, and as visual tools for color healing for chakras or emotions. Create an intuitive piece for someone else in the group and share your reading with them.
(Ticket includes all materials)
2:15-3:15pm Journey Inward Workshop
Guests will be empowered connect with the energy of the fall equinox and see themselves on a soul level. Explore themes of harvesting/manifesting, hopes and fears, and resting after our hard work over the energy of the summer. This is a period of trusting in yourself and the universe and a time to celebrate what you have accomplished over the last year in your life. Evaluate if you are still aligned with your goals, reinvigorate them, and make any necessary changes. Identify things that you need to continue to let go of for new energy to come in. Learn how to use self-reflection during this season to question patterns, understand their origins, and to identify whether they align with your authentic self and desired life path. Participate in exercises that will help you to let go of old beliefs, identify resistance or blocks, and activate a new cycle of growth creating new energy in alignment with your goals for the next year of manifesting.
3:15-3:30pm Afternoon Break (Drinks and snacks will be available)
3:30-4:30pm Floating Sound Bath (With guest sound healer)
Guests will have the opportunity to experience a floating sound bath. (You can chose to be in the pool on a raft or water hammock or next to it on land) It is a transformative experience that connects body, mind, and spirit in a unique setting. Whether you want to relieve stress, pain, improve sleep, or clear energy sound bath’s are perfect. The flotation in water induces a state of weightlessness that relieves pressure on joints and muscles, while the sound vibrations penetrate deeply into your body, releasing tension and energetic blockages. This innovative treatment combines the ancient practice of sound bathing with the weightlessness of water, creating a unique environment that promotes a deep connection with oneself and a level of relaxation that's hard to achieve in everyday life.
4:30-5:00pm Closing Ceremony
Guests will return to the present after a day of learning and exploring their inner selves. Jenny will lead a closing ceremony to assist in releasing old patterns, beliefs, or stagnant energy. As we reflect on the day, guests are encouraged to share what they experienced throughout the day. We will close our sacred space, integrate the lessons of the day, and identify ways we can continue to reveal your inner and utilize the equinox energy. Guests will be able to transfer this knowledge into their daily practices.
