The Agenda:
Morning Grounding Session (facilitated by Holistree Founder Rakita Lillard-Brown): We’ll start our day with a grounding session to center ourselves and set positive intentions. This peaceful moment will create the perfect foundation for the day's enriching activities.
Activation Session: “Embracing Sweetness: A Sacred Opening” Our day begins with a sacred circle where we delve into the powerful question: "In what ways have I held myself back from living a sweet life?" This session invites deep reflection as we uncover the disconnects, gaps, and areas of lack that may have kept us from fully embracing joy and fulfillment. Through meaningful exercises and heartfelt discussions, we’ll reconnect with our visions of a sweet life and explore tangible ways to infuse more love, joy, and purpose into our everyday routines. This is your opportunity to set the tone for the day, laying the foundation for a life steeped in sweetness.
A Meal amongst friends: Win Some W(h)ine Some: As we gather for lunch, this is your moment to bring your whole self to the table—literally and figuratively. Our Vibes Curator, Jamila Weathers, Founder of Win Some W(h)ine Some, has infused this meal with the essence of community and connection, setting the tone for a deliciously sweet experience. We'll nourish our bodies, reflect on the first half of the day, and enjoy the company of friends, all while savoring the energy and joy that Jamila’s touch brings to this shared moment. This is more than just a meal—it's a celebration of togetherness.
Activation Session: “Manifesting Sweetness: Crafting your Vision” (facilitated by Wordlife Astrology Founder Sonja Marie) In the second part of our day, after we've nourished our bodies, we’ll dive deeper into the heart of our Sweet Life vision.

Through guided writing exercises, you'll declare your sweetest life yet, embracing the full spectrum of your dreams and desires.
