—Ritual. Release. Recalibration. Fuel for the year ahead. —

This year has been messy and heartbreaking and complex — and also, I imagine, beautiful and magical and connected. And everywhere in between.
While the close of the Gregorian year doesn’t hold significance for everyone, it does provide an opportunity to pause, take loving inventory, honor our personal and collective thresholds, and calibrate ourselves and our work for the next season.
With so much dissonance, distraction, and deeply unsettling heartbreaks unfolding in the world, how do we cultivate clarity and groundedness in our work, even in the unknown? How do we quiet the noise long enough to hear what’s truly calling us forward? How do we keep showing up with our gifts and medicine, in deep service that is also sustainable? How do we reflect and plan and root into possibility? What will resonance feel like?
Amidst the overwhelm and constant pulls on our time, energy, and capacity, this is an invitation to spend a spacious day focused on you and your offerings. To look backwards, inwards, and forwards. To be skillfully held through reflection and visioning. To pour into your offerings alongside a circle of kindreds. To return to your heartwork refreshed, rooted, and ready.
A deeply nourishing & clarifying day-long virtual retreat.
A generative co-working space.
Friday, December 12th — 10am-4pm PST ((Workshop & Retreat))
+ Saturday, Dec. 13th — 10am-1pm PST ((Optional Co-Working Space))
((VIRTUAL))
Our Time Together:
Through a mix of self-reflection, guided journaling, small and large group breakout spaces (introvert-friendly), gentle movement, and rooted ritual, we will:
CELEBRATE
So often we rush to the next thing and don’t stop to appreciate what we’ve done, created, or accomplished. We’ll pause to revel in our successes big and small and be generously witnessed in — and celebrated for — what we’ve tended this year.
COMPOST
Potent, guided ritual will infuse our time together, as we mark the changing (internal and external) seasons. We’ll honor our own thresholds, identifying what we’re ready to release and transform in our work. We’ll engage in a tangible, creative process to shift the stuckness and make more room for what’s to come.
CLARIFY
Over steaming mugs of tea, we’ll take to our journals (or record into our phones) as we explore generative reflection prompts yielding insight, clarity, and direction. We’ll have space for both solo-exploration and collective conversation. Where there’s been overwhelm and uncertainty, let’s surface trust and groundedness.
CONNECT
We’re not meant to do our relational work alone. Through 1:1 and small group breakout sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to receive meaningful wisdom-sourcing, feedback, and insight from fellow creatives, changemakers and leaders. Bring your potent questions, in-process ideas, and language you’d like fresh eyes on.
(re)CALIBRATE
Often, we’re so deep in the grind of it, of hustling and holding all our to-dos, that we don’t stop to check in with what our offerings are actually communicating to us. Through a facilitated process, you’ll identify a creative compass or central inquiry to guide your work in this next season. Remember what is truly calling to you, and map ways to honor your capacity, center your values, and tend to your vision.
CATALYZE
We’ll outline a path forward for the upcoming season — not with rigid goals or grand pronouncements — but with rooted intention and identified support systems. On Saturday, we’ll circle again for a co-working session. Together we’ll tie up loose ends and weave new threads. What will feel amazing to check off the perpetual to-do list? What fresh seeds might you nourish? Experience inspired body-doubling, creative flow, and loving accountability.
Come away from our time feeling clear and energized, with fresh connections and inspirations. You’ll receive gorgeous handouts with our tools and prompts that you can return to again and again, a central question and anchor points to guide your work in the next year, our playlist via Qobuz, a recording of any teaching portions, and a new circle of connections, resources, and kindreds.
“Anya is a genius at making virtual experiences just as beautiful and meaningful as in person ones. I’m so grateful to be cradled by the amazing groups of humans she gathers to nurture our soul yearnings, uplift our desires, and attend to blocks. Anya is magic. This experience is magic. And you shouldn’t miss it.”

-
We’ll circle on Zoom at 10am on both Friday and Saturday. We’ll take ample movement breaks with focused time away from our screens.
How to plan for the Retreat? Please plan to attend live, with cameras mostly on. Only a very small portion of our day will be recorded. I encourage you to clear your day of as many distractions as possible and gather some nourishing snacks and meals to sustain you throughout our session.
Want to do this retreat alongside an in-person bestie or small group?! That sounds amazing! Please have each person pay and register independently, and plan to have your own laptops available for large group breakout sessions.
Can’t attend the entire session but still want to join? You’re absolutely welcome! Come for what you can.
-
Because of the small size of our group, no refunds will be provided, though you’re welcome to gift your ticket to someone else if you’re unable to attend. If you choose to pay in installments, even if you’re unable to attend, you will still be expected to pay the full cost of your registration.
-
Please reach out via email and I’ll respond as soon as I can.
Earlybird pricing ends on December 5th.

As soon as you register, you’ll receive a welcome email & brief questionnaire.
*Want to attend, but the cost feels prohibitive for you? Prefer to pay in more installments? If this experience calls to you but doesn’t quite feel financially feasible, please reach out — we’ll make it work!
