Whether this relationship is with yourself or someone else, by identifying and naming the values that guide you, you will be empowered to manifest what you truly want. This is a 90-minute class.

Say It Now
Express gratitude by “saying it now.” Why wait to tell others how much they have impacted your life? Why not say it now? This class helps you identify those people who have impacted your life in a special way. You can choose to write a letter, have a face-to-face conversation, or get creative. Deepen your relationships through the power of gratitude, quality time, and by ‘saying it now’!

Self-Love Workshop
What is self-love? We hear the buzzword often in the wellness industry, but it can be a nebulous concept. This is a discovery unique to everyone. Complimented by the Self-Love Meditation offering, in the Self-Love Workshop, we will discuss what self-love means, beyond affirmations and loving self-talk, and how to embody love not only for yourself but also for others. This meditation on the meaning of self-love, as it pertains uniquely to you, provides practical tools and techniques to bring into your daily life to experience more love, peace, and joy.

The 5 Love Languages
Unlock the secret to deeper, more meaningful relationships in this interactive and insightful workshop based on Dr. Gary Chapman's bestselling book, The 5 Love Languages®. Whether you're in a romantic relationship, navigating family dynamics, or building stronger friendships, understanding how you and others give and receive love can dramatically improve communication and emotional connection.

Trust Your Intuition
Learn to trust your inner wisdom in this engaging, practical workshop on intuition. You’ll explore how intuitive insights show up in the body and mind and discover tools to strengthen your inner compass through simple exercises, journaling, and self-reflection. Whether you’re facing big decisions or seeking deeper self-awareness, this class offers actionable techniques to help you tune in and trust yourself more confidently. No prior experience necessary – just bring an open mind.
