The Experiences, Explained
Paper Crafting: Future Self Card-Making
Create a handmade greeting card with rubber stamps, ink, and paper, then write a loving message from your future self to be mailed to you after the retreat.
Seashell Energy Healing
A gentle, heart-centered energy healing experience using seashells to support relaxation, emotional release, self- love, and inner harmony.
ThetaHealing
ThetaHealing is a gentle meditation technique that shifts your brainwave pattern into the deeply relaxed theta state. In this calm, receptive space, limiting beliefs and stuck emotional patterns can surface and soften—making room for clarity, ease, and a renewed sense of alignment.
Cacao Ceremony
A heart-opening ritual using ceremonial-grade cacao to gently expand presence, connection, and emotional openness in a circle of women.
Sound Healing
Crystal bowls and resonant instruments wash over you with soothing vibration—on land and, during the floating sound bath, on the water—to quiet the mind and reset your nervous system.
Ecstatic Dance
Free-form, judgment-free movement that helps you shake loose stagnant energy and move into joy and flow—no choreography, no “right way.”
Fire Ceremony
An evening gathering at the fire pit where you release what you’re ready to let go of, symbolically returning it to the flames.
Somatic Energy Release
A gentle, body-based process that works with the unconscious mind to release stored stress and tension, leaving you feeling aligned, free, and reconnected with your body’s own wisdom.
Huna Healing
A remote pre- or post-retreat energy healing session rooted in Hawaiian wisdom to support balance, clarity, forgiveness, and deeper connection with your heart and higher self.1 attendee
Sip, Breathe & Align: A Wellness Cannabis & Kava Experience
Dragonfly Lounge, 1537 Atlantic Blvd, Neptune Beach, FL, US$33/person
👉**Buy tickets here!**
Unwind. Breathe. Flow. Sip something extraordinary.
21+ only.
What happens when a sound bath meets a wellness lounge? Pure magic.
Join Leona Douglass of Empowering Wellness for an intimate midday experience at Dragonfly Lounge — Neptune Beach’s favorite botanical beverage bar — where relaxation, ritual, and good vibes collide.We’ll kick things off with a guided introduction to the wellness offerings at Dragonfly — kava, CBD, lion’s mane, and more. You’ll get to ask questions, learn what each one does, and figure out what feels right for you before you sip a single drop. No pressure, no guessing, no “I’ll just have what she’s having” (unless you want to).
Choose your vibe:
🌿 Kava
🍃 CBD
🦁 Lion’s Mane tincture
✨ Or build your own blend✨ All attendees get 15% off drinks and products at the lounge — so come ready to explore.
Leona’s personal favorite? The espresso martini mocktail — with a touch of cinnamon and her go-to tincture trio added in. It’s a whole experience in a glass.
Then we move into the experience: breathwork and gentle yoga to drop into your body, followed by a sound healing session to melt away stress and realign your energy — mocktail in hand.
This is a judgment-free, chill-in-your-body kind of afternoon. No experience needed — just show up, sip mindfully, and let the healing happen.Space is limited to 12 guests, so grab your spot before it’s gone.
