RECLAIMING RADIANCE: A Sacred & Soulful Circle for Women

KATE LEIST

Radiance is the natural glow that emanates from within when a woman is deeply rooted in her body, connected to her truth, and open to receiving. It is not something we must strive for — it is something we return to when we slow down, soften, and make space for ourselves. In a world that often asks women to give more than they receive, to stay busy rather than be still, reclaiming radiance requires intentional space to feel, rest, and replenish. When a woman feels resourced, grounded, and supported, her radiance shines effortlessly — it is magnetic, healing, and powerful. Reclaiming Radiance is a sacred invitation to return to that light within, not by doing more, but by allowing more: more softness, more receiving, more presence. Women, we invite you to join us for this nourishing, uplifting and empowering circle ceremony designed to help you return home to your body, awaken your heart, and ignite your spirit. Through somatic movement, sacred ritual, feminine embodiment practices, meditation, sharing stories, and deep rest, we will reconnect with our inner radiance and playful spirit — the part of us that shines when we feel safe, seen, and supported. This is a space to feel, play, release, receive, and rise — together. In sisterhood, we will share, move, breathe, and remember the beauty of being fully alive. You’ll leave feeling nourished, embodied, uplifted, and deeply connected — to yourself and to each other.

2:30 PM - 4:00 PM

AWAKEN THE SONG OF YOUR BODY

AMBER CAMPION + DJ PETE DRAGON

Your body is not an object to control—it’s an instrument to listen to. In this soulful exploration of movement and presence set to a live DJ, Awaken the Song of Your Body introduces you to the watery, martial arts inspired practice of DRM: Dynamic Release Method, inviting you to move like a whisper through water. Through wave-like transitions, spiraling shapes, and an exquisite breath-guided flow, you’ll rediscover movement as music: fluid, expressive, and soulful. This class experience opens with grounding, yet expansive breathwork, encouraging deep listening to the subtle messages beneath tension and the rhythm of your own breath. You'll then awaken into gentle spine waves, soft joint mobility, and a dynamic standing flow inspired by the sea’s effortless dance. Expect unique sun salutations, Qigong-inspired transitions, and spine-unwinding functional sequencing, all approached with curiosity and grace. As we downshift, soft floor-based shapes and therapeutic myofascial release (with tennis balls) will help dissolve holding patterns and create spaciousness. We’ll close cocooned in stillness, allowing the “song” of your body to echo gently through spoken word poetry and a communal vocal offering, emerging with widened wings. Leave feeling attuned, empowered, and reminded: your body is a living instrument. When you move with presence, it sings.

3:00 PM - 4:30 PM

THE VOICE: A Playground for your Soul

KING KAIROS

Most of us have been taught to think about the voice all wrong. Some believe you’re either born with a “good voice” or you’re not. Others say you should only sing if it sounds good to someone else. I’m here to tell you—that’s simply not true. Your voice is a powerful teacher. It holds the keys to deep self-awareness and emotional transformation. It doesn’t need to sound “pretty”—in fact, sometimes it shouldn’t. Your voice is here to help you express, release, and rediscover parts of yourself you may have forgotten. In this workshop, we’ll explore a series of guided vocal activities designed to set your voice free and introduce you to a fuller, more authentic version of yourself. Even if you feel like you “don’t know anything” about your voice, I promise you—your voice knows you better than anyone else does. Come exactly as you are, with an open mind and heart. Together, we’ll laugh, play, explore, and express—tapping into the joy, power, and freedom that comes from truly using your voice.
