A Quiet Turning: New Year's Workshop | Jan 1, 2027

$25.00

A Gathering with Carolyn to explore and honour your depths.

As the year shifts, carve out a quiet, nourishing pause just for you. This workshop is an invitation to soften, settle and reconnect with the steadier layers beneath the noise of the season. Rather than setting goals or striving for change, we’ll tend to what already lives within you — the clarity, wisdom and possibility that emerge when you slow down and listen..

Through brief meditations, soothing breathwork and reflective journaling, you’ll be supported in gently exploring what this past year has shaped in you and what wants to unfold next. You’ll leave with insight and a reconnection to practices that help you stay anchored, spacious and true to yourself.

This virtual gathering is open to all levels.

We meet online on Jan 1st, in the afternoon from 4-5:30pm

The resort offers elegant, sustainably-built accommodations and spaces where nature’s magic surrounds you.
