How are you healing? We are excited to announce the return of Spirit & Flow: Nurturing the Inner Child, a workshop series curated by Donny Smith. Kick off 2025 with Spirit & Flow’s monthly workshop series.
Explore your inner child through collective practices in meditation, breathwork, sound baths, yoga, and reiki. Begin to heal childhood wounds that affect our adult selves. Each Spirit & Flow workshop is guided by a trained practitioner committed to facilitating harmony between your inner dialogue and outward expression. Gain and expand your holistic toolbox!
What to Expect
Spirit & Flow sessions are divided into two parts: a Virtual Activation and a 2.5 to 3 hour in-person workshop. You are invited to attend both, but it is not required to enjoy the benefits of the workshop. While attending all five sessions is not mandatory, we recommend attending each session to gain the full healing experience. Bring a water bottle, comfy clothes to move in, a journal, and your whole self!
Check out the dates, times, and information below. Capacity is limited. Registration is required for each session. Registration will provide access to both the Virtual Activation and the In-Person Workshop. Free & Open to all. All levels welcome.
