The Activism of Radical Self-Love
Many of us have been programmed to put our loved ones before ourselves, to feel guilty when we take time for ourselves, and even to associate healthy love for self with narcissism. In this interactive circle, we discuss what it really means to love ourselves, and why — now more than ever — we absolutely must cultivate a sense of self-reverence. We’ll provide concrete strategies for facing the shadows, celebrating the light, and reaching new states of wholeness, because only when we change ourselves do we begin to change the world.
4:30 pm–6:00 pm

Ayurveda 101: The Nature of Your Nature
While it is true that our inner state is paramount in shaping our experience in this physical world, understanding ourselves requires exploring our interrelationship with the five elements. We affect them, and they in turn affect us. How do the five elements impact our physical, mental, and emotional make-up? And what practices, from diet to physical care, can we use to heal our relationship with the five elements to reach new levels of physical wellness and spiritual wholeness? Ayurveda, which translates into "the science of life," offers us wisdom for living in balance with our unique, elemental constitutions.

Birthing the Phoenix: A Talk on Resilience
Pain finds us all, one way or another. It's what we do with it that matters. This workshop explores how we can shed victim mentality and embrace ferocity to transform pain from whatever has broken us into comeback fuel. We are never undone if we are constantly remaking ourselves from our own ashes. We'll explore what makes some people more resilient than others, and what we can learn from those who seem to have a knack for bouncing back.

Dinner
7:30–9:00 pm
Cacao Ceremony & Forgiveness by the Fire
Self-care isn’t just about treating ourselves well, but also about doing the hard work of being present with challenging feelings so that we move past them to align with the highest version of ourselves. We'll start this workshop with an introduction to cacao plant medicine and a heart-opening cacao ceremony to facilitate the transformation about to occur. We'll then talk about the power of forgiveness and use an impactful guided meditation for freeing ourselves from anger, shame, and resentment towards ourselves and others, allowing ourselves the gift of feeling lighter and freer than ever. Finally, we'll release both intentions and that which no longer serves us into the universe by way of air and fire. Take time to write what you’d like to release on our flame-shaped effigy, as well as your intentions for your life, and watch them be carried up in smoke during this very special burn.
