Rhythym & Reflection: A 1-Day Mini Retreat
A Creative & Reflective Workshop for Survivors
SATURDAY, aPRIL 12 at 10AM
This in-person workshop is designed with survivors in mind, offering a welcoming space to explore healing through movement, journaling, and creative expression — at your own pace and in your own way.
We’ll begin by setting an intention for our time together, grounding ourselves in a supportive community. From there, gentle movement exercises will invite you to reconnect with your body in a way that feels safe and comfortable — whether that means participating fully, observing, or simply being present in the space.
Following movement, we’ll transition into a guided journaling and creative writing session. A thoughtful prompt will encourage reflection, expression, and connection with your emotions — without pressure to write “perfectly” or share unless you choose to. This is a space for your voice, your story, and your truth.
The workshop will close with a moment of gratitude and optional sharing, leaving you with tools to continue your healing journey beyond our time together. However you choose to engage, you are welcome here.
