The Theme for 2025: Year of the Snake

In many traditions, the snake symbolizes wisdom, charm, elegance, and transformation. For 2025, this theme sets a powerful foundation for shedding what no longer serves you and stepping into a year defined by clarity, purpose, and aligned growth.

This day-long retreat is designed for people who are ready to make a meaningful shift in the year ahead. Whether you are changing careers, launching a new project, or seeking deeper alignment in your personal life, this experience is an intentional pause to reset, reflect, and move forward with confidence.
