2/1 Living The Dream: 1-Day Bhavana Retreat
2026-02-01 12:30 - 18:30
Workshop Overview

An Afternoon of Intention, Imagination, and Action
Living the dream is not about chasing an ideal future. It’s about intentionally shaping the life you are already living.
Bhavana is the yogic practice of cultivating a heartfelt vision. It is the art of orienting your mind, energy, and actions toward what you are becoming, while releasing what no longer serves you.
Join Katie and Allison for Living The Dream: A 1-Day Bhavana Retreat, a nourishing in-studio experience designed to help you clear residual patterns from the past year, clarify what truly matters, and consciously align with the life you want to live now. This immersive six-hour retreat blends yoga, meditation, reflection, creative integration, and deep rest to support clarity, embodiment, and sustainable change.
The afternoon begins with a grounding opening circle and an intentional yoga practice focused on releasing old beliefs, habits, and emotional residue. From there, you will be guided through the practice of bhavana, learning how to clarify your intentions, connect with how you want to feel, and translate vision into meaningful, realistic action.
Through guided meditation, discussion, journaling, and a hands-on bhavana integration activity, you will create a personalized vision that supports key areas of your life, including self-care, relationships, lifestyle, family, career, and purpose. The day concludes with a deeply restorative and receptive practice, allowing your intentions to settle into the body and nervous system, followed by a closing circle to share and integrate.
Throughout the retreat, you’ll be nourished with tea, snacks, and a catered lunch, and receive printed materials to support reflection and integration beyond the day.

2026-02-21 12:30 - 17:30

Designed for those ready to expand beyond the foundations of Reiki Level 1, this training supports both personal transformation and the development of confident, skilled practitioners. As your understanding of Reiki grows, so does your ability to support healing in yourself and others across emotional, physical, and energetic layers.
In this immersive training, you will explore Reiki as a universal life force energy that has been used worldwide to bring balance, clarity, and restoration. Through a dynamic blend of lecture, guided discussion, live demonstration, and hands-on practice, you will refine your technique and strengthen your intuitive awareness. Each student will have ample opportunity to both give and receive Reiki treatments, deepen their understanding of hand placements, and experience the profound effects of this work firsthand.

This one-day Level 2 training expands your relationship with Reiki and marks a quantum leap in your ability to access and direct Reiki energy. In this course, you will learn how to perform Reiki at a distance, as well as how to work with Reiki to support the release of unwanted habits and the manifestation of meaningful goals.
Second Degree Reiki places greater emphasis on the emotional and mental energy bodies, in contrast to Level 1’s primary focus on the physical body. You will be introduced to the Reiki symbols and learn how to draw, activate, and apply them in healing sessions. Their practical uses, energetic effects, and deeper meanings will be explored in depth.
You will also learn how to incorporate a Reiki pendulum into a healing session. Ample practice time is provided so students can experientially understand how each symbol feels, how it works, and the results it produces.
Completion of Reiki Level 1 is a prerequisite for this course.

Rob and Melissa, Yoga Teachers & Kirtan Wallahs
When we met, which was before we discovered kirtan, we mutually agreed to place devotion at the forefront of our relationship. It was so important to us, we even created our first mantra (little did we know) to support it, “Be Nice and Have Fun!” As the seeds of devotion grew, we naturally gravitated toward the beautiful, heart-opening practices of Bhakti Yoga and kirtan.

As a teacher, I hope to share the healing aspect of yoga to anyone who is in need of it. I love teaching Yoga because I not only get to contribute to a student’s yoga journey as a guide but also as a witness to the growth and progression they experience through their practice.

Level 1 Training

This one-day introductory training is among the most thorough and comprehensive Reiki Level 1 offerings available.

In Level 1, you will be introduced to the principles and practice of Reiki, with a focus on opening the physical body to receive and channel universal life force energy.

Once attuned, Reiki remains with you for life. After completing this training, you will be able to confidently channel Reiki energy for self-healing and for supporting the healing of others.
