Through Chinese medicine, embodied movement, intuitive practices, and soulful inquiry, the day supports both deep listening and bold expansion. Participants leave feeling energized, emotionally resourced, and more connected to their bodies, their vision, and one another—carrying a felt sense of confidence, openness, and direction into 2026.

Schedule

Our session is on Sunday, February 8, and runs from 10:30 am–3:00 pm (please arrive no later than 10:15 am). OPENING CIRCLE — Chinese New Year Wisdom Christina Martin opens the day with an embodied introduction to the Year of the Horse. We’ll explore how to shed the coiled wisdom of the Snake and step into forward-moving, life-thrusting power — with insights and forecasts for each Chinese zodiac sign. SENSUAL MOVEMENT RITUAL Karla Lightfoot and Sara Jane Wellock guide a luxurious, sensual movement journey — warm-up, exploration, and intimate group/solo dances. You’ll be witnessed, celebrated, and invited to listen deeply to your body’s wisdom in sisterhood. POSSIBILITIES, POWER + PLEASURE — Choose 2 In the afternoon, you’ll choose two of the following three intimate breakouts, designed to open space for what you’re calling in for 2026: A | ACUPUNCTURE + ENERGETICS Christina offers intuitive group acupuncture, supporting nervous system regulation, clearing blocks, and opening the body to receive more — amplified by Sara Jane’s energetic facilitation. B | CLAIM YOUR INNER POWER — Erotic. Metabolic. Divine. Guided by Karla Lightfoot, this experience blends embodied inquiry, sensual somatics, and gentle kundalini activation to reclaim ancient feminine wisdom around pleasure, hunger, receiving, and life force — inspired by the awareness and fire of the Horse. C | IGNITE YOUR DESIRES Anne-Laure Pelissier leads a soulful journey into desire, purpose, and vision. Through journaling, cards, meditation, and sharing, you’ll give shape and voice to what wants to come alive in 2026. Light snacks will be available between activities. CLOSING CIRCLE We close together — grounded, energized, and connected — sealing the day with intention and joy.
