New Year's Meditation and Manifestation  

with Tom

90 Minutes 

Get more of what you want in 2026

Begin the new year with grounded awareness and some new tools for finding inner peace and so much more in the new year.

This 90-minute workshop will give you the tools to cultivate a sustainable meditation practice in 2026. Meditation is a critical but easy and even delicious part of being on the path to more inner peace. 

Easy? But Tom, I’ve tried meditating, and it was anything but easy. And it was definitely not “delicious,” you weirdo.

The ways I will teach you to meditate do make it easy and enjoyable.

And not only that: One form of meditation I will teach you is manifestation without attachment to the results. This is tried and true way of getting more of what you want out of life. Sounds magical? It’s not. Pretty basic, actually. And really fun.

Meditation supports emotional resilience, clarity of mind, and a deeper relationship to self.

You will learn the fundamentals of meditation in an accessible, structured way: posture, breath, mental orientation, and how to meet your thoughts without resistance. We’ll discuss the physiological, emotional, and cognitive benefits of meditation, and we will explore simple best practices for developing a sustainable daily rhythm—one that feels both easeful and supportive.

The workshop also includes a manifestation component rooted in yogic philosophy: intention without attachment. 

We will start by defining one clear goal for the new year. And then I’ll guide you into a manifestation mediation that you can repeat as often as you like in 2026.

You can expect to:

• Receive structured guidance on      how to meditate with ease and confidence
• Understand the benefits of    meditation for the mind, body, and nervous system
• Learn practical tools for sustaining a meditation practice over time
• Practice manifestation as a      powerful meditation technique
• Articulate one meaningful      intention to carry into the new year

Come prepared with something to write with, an open mind, and a willingness to meet yourself where you are.

This workshop is available online or in-person in Carrboro!

Reiki and Yin Workshop

with 

Lauren and Sarah 

$35

Settle into a sanctuary of stillness where breath, energy, and intuition gently meet.

Join Lauren and Sarah for this 90 minute Yin Yoga and Reiki workshop, where you will be invited to slow down, soften, and go inward. 

Long-held, supported yin postures create spaciousness in the body while easing tension in the fascia, joints, and subtle layers beneath the surface. As you deepen into each shape, healing  Reiki energy is offered to support the release of stagnant emotions, balance the nervous system, and open the pathways where emotions and old energy often linger.

We’ll move gently, holding shapes that invite deep release— unraveling tension in the body, while Reiki techniques will be offered to support emotional clearing, energetic balance, and a feeling of being held from the inside out.

This practice is an invitation to let go: old stories, stagnant energy, and the weight you don’t want to carry into the year ahead.

*Spaces are limited!

Body Temple Dance

with Daria

$35

Join somatic facilitator and Recess yoga teacher, Daria Drake, for this community movement ritual! 

This is the somatic practice your body has been craving – a place to drop into the deepest parts of yourself to express and digest what is ready to move from the inside to the outside. 

A place for your emotional body to dance, B R E A T H E and be fully held, without judgment or shame. 

Come shake your ass, crawl on the ground and let YOUR BODY SPEAK as we unhook from the constructs and mental gymnastics that keep us stagnant and unexpressed. 

This is how we get free – by feeling into our grief, rage, aliveness, awe and wonder… together!

We’ll move, dance and write our body’s story to weave a magical practice that welcomes depth, connection and aliveness back into our experience of being in a body.

You’ll dress in comfy clothes, bring a journal and water. There’s no dance experience necessary and all gender expressions are welcome and encouraged to come!
