Spring Planning Workshop

Winter is almost over, and spring is right around the corner. There’s no better way to become deeply rested than by slowing down and synching your life and business with the seasons. That’s why we’re hosting a half-day live Spring Seasonal Planning Workshop on Friday, March 21st. This workshop will help you calm your nervous system, clarify your mission and goals, and create an actionable, realistic plan for the next few months. And because quarterly project planning can be intense cognitive work, we’ll be taking frequent pauses to drop into our bodies with live crystal bowl sound baths and guided somatic movement breaks. If you’re craving calm, clarity, and community, this planning workshop is for you.
