Imagine three hours to just be you, to come back to your own centered, grounded place of peace and love, to let your mind settle and your body feel nourished. A cozy room, lit with candles and natural light, soft cushions and blankets, and your phone on do not disturb.

This mini-retreat is centered around the lower chakras, the root, sacral, and solar plexus, the parts of you that hold your sense of safety and belonging, that carry your worth, your creativity, and your fire.

We'll explore what it means to feel more connected to your body, to nature, and to the people around you.

So much of the winter holidays gets built around tradition, connection, and giving, carried by the people who make those experiences happen for everyone else. Our roles and responsibilities shift over time, and it gets harder to keep up with all of it. 

We'll look at what shows up personally for you this time of year and talk through what it would take to lead your own holidays with more grace, more gratitude, and more acceptance, starting with yourself.

You won't be doing this alone. A small group of other women will be right there with you, quietly asking the same questions about what they actually want this season to feel like.

If this season you want to feel more grounded, more joyful, and more connected to your own inner authority, join us.

No prior experience with Reiki or any other practices is needed. Come as you are.

$77 early bird (through Nov 6) / $85 regular

Limited space for a more intimate gathering

What to Expect

We'll open with a welcome circle, arriving into the room together.

From there, the afternoon unfolds slowly with gentle movement and breathwork to settle your body, quiet moments to reflect on what's arising, and a guided Reiki meditation journey with space for you to fully settle in and be immersed in the experience. Reiki is a light-touch energy practice, and you'll choose whether to receive it hands-on or hands-near, whichever feels most comfortable to you.

We'll close together with sharing intentions for the season ahead and a simple ritual you can carry home with you.

Sharing is always invited and never required. You're welcome to simply witness and experience these practices in a way that feels comfortable for you.

You'll walk away feeling more rooted, with a steady foundation that can support the energy of your heart, your voice, and your clarity as you move through the season ahead.

If you'd like to keep the day going, we can head down to Main Street afterward for a bite to eat and maybe some live music.

What to Bring

All props (mats, bolsters, blankets) are provided.

Bring your own mat, pillow, or blanket if you have a favorite you'd rather use.

Bring a water bottle, a journal and pen, and anything else that helps you settle in for three hours, an eye mask, cozy socks, warm layers. There will be tea and water available, but please bring your own mug!

Who This Is For

This afternoon is for women who want three hours to slow down, rest, and receive some much needed self-care before the holidays speed up.

• A teacher heading into parent conferences or report card season

• A business owner closing out the year

• A parent wanting to make this season memorable

• A healthcare professional heading into flu season

• Anyone whose calendar is about to fill with other people's needs.

This is an afternoon where you get to fill your own cup first, so this season feels enjoyable and memorable for you too.

Meet Kim

Kim Brooks is a Self-Leadership coach and Reiki master based in Maryland, and the creator of the Self-Leadership Method. Before this work, she spent 18 years as an international educator, teaching and leading in classrooms across the United States, Morocco, and Taiwan. She's a Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master, certified yoga teacher, and breathwork facilitator.

Kim built this particular afternoon around the root, sacral, and solar plexus centers because they're the ones she often works with herself each fall. Our lower chakras are what hold us steady when our calendar fills up and remind us what's actually ours to carry.

This is what grounding actually does, it lets you move through a busy season without losing yourself in it. It helps you stay true to and honor your own values and your own needs right alongside everyone else's.
