Friday : Arrive and let the forest hold you.

• 3:00 PM – Arrival & Unpacking
  Welcome to your wooded sanctuary! Write down your intentions for the event and what you hope to learn. What are your reasons for being here? Breathe in the pine, settle into your cabin space, and take a grounding solo walk around the premises to arrive in your body.

• 4:30 PM – Opening Circle + Nervous System Check-In
  Gather by the trees for introductions, breath-work, and a guided body scan to notice where you're holding tension or emotion.

• 5:30 PM – Forest Walk & Emotional Mapping
  A silent, intentional walk through the forest paired with gentle prompts : Where do I carry sadness? Where is my grief hiding? How does it feel in my body? Do I feel pain? Where do I carry my trauma? Is it stored in specific areas of my body?

• 6:30 PM – Dinner : Nourishment & Grounding Foods
  Warming, nutrient-dense dinner focused on gut health and comfort. Think savory roasted root veggies, brothy grains, and herbal teas.

• 8:30 PM – Campfire Connection + Star-Gazing
  Under the stars, we share what brought us here. No fixing, no solving - just witnessing. End with a group breath release + collective grounding + our favorite part : Maple S’mores!

• 10:00 PM – Quiet Hours Begin
  Soft music in candle light, weighted or furry blankets, hot tea. Come down slowly with a group game night or solo time journaling.

Saturday : Release and reclaim.

• 7:00 AM – Emotional Fitness : Movement for What You Feel
  Not every workout should be a grind. This session lets your body guide the movement - whether it needs to shake, cry, stretch, or sprint.

• 8:00 AM – Breakfast + Check-In
  Clean, anti-inflammatory breakfast options with protein and fiber to support hormone and nervous system regulation. We all get the opportunity to share how we are feeling and debrief on what we have already learned.

• 9:00 AM – Workshop : Trauma in the Body + How to Move Through It
  Learn how unprocessed emotions settle in the muscles, fascia, and breath. Tools & practices for releasing it safely through movement and self-awareness. Nervous system activation vs. regulation.

• 11:00 AM – Yes and No Game + Boundary Building Lab
  A deep dive into what "yes" and "no" actually feel like to our bodies and in our head. Partner exercises to practice voicing, hearing, + honoring boundaries - without guilt.

• 12:30 PM – Lunch + Nature Break
  Wholesome, energizing lunch followed by time to nap, journal, or take a barefoot walk among the trees and touch grass. Bonus points if you journal or nap within the trees.

• 2:00 PM – Grief Expression Practice : Voice + Motion
  Scream, dance, weep, crawl - there’s no wrong way to feel and there’s no wrong way to heal. This is your space to release what's been stuck inside.

• 4:00 PM – Boudoir Photography Prep Workshop
  Guided mirror work and body neutrality talk. Learn how to give yourself love by moving and flowing in a way that feels strong, sensual, and safe instead of just holding a pose.

• 6:30 PM – Dinner : Replenishment & Gentle Flavors
  Think roasted squash, greens, and lemon-thyme chicken or chickpeas. Calming, cozy, and body-nourishing.

• 9:00 PM – Forest Fae Slumber Gathering
  PJ’s on. Slumber party skincare complete with herbal face masks, gua sha, deep hydration, story sharing, + crafting intention bracelets for self-trust. Light stretching while we watch girly movies, moments of stargazing, & all the hot cocoa you can handle! Instamax photo-ops a plenty! Marshmallow snowball fight & intentional marshmallow ball burn to say goodbye and release our trauma, triggers, or something we have been holding onto and wish to move past.

• 10:00 AM – Self-Image & Boudoir Photo Session
  Walk into your own power. Wear what makes you feel strongest, softest, or most yourself. This isn’t about performance - it’s about presence. Private sessions with optional group cheering.

• 1:00 PM – Boundary Workshop II : Holding the Line with Love
  Reinforce the practices you've built. Group shares on real-life boundaries, how to keep them, and what it means to protect your peace.

• 2:30 PM – Group Howl + Photo Finale
  One last memory by the trees before we go : we gather, we laugh, we pose - and we howl. Yes - we howl. We take separate turns and then howl as a cohesive group because - we are pack. A collective exhale to say, “I made it. I’m here.”

• 3:00 PM – Closing Circle & Goodbyes
  A moment to integrate. Leave with tools, connections, + a fuller sense of your body and your boundaries. This is your time to exchange numbers, socials, and plan for further developing your new found friendships.
