Category: Inspire & Connect
*Inspire & Connect provides retreats that help us pursue inner happiness, peace, freedom, and personal growth through wellness group activities. Here in a safe space, together we discuss ideas without judgment, and share stories we've never told a soul.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to people 16 years of age and older.
When we allow our souls to flow freely, we open up different possibilities within us.
There are many ways that help our souls flow freely, for example yoga, meditation, and writing. Through every movement of the body and mind, we learn to express ourselves fully.
At the same time, when we listen to every heartbeat, and follow every footstep, a deeper connection with our mind is formed.
In this retreat, join us on a journey of discovering the inner mind and exploring everything you are capable of.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware. Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Yoga and Art Therapy Instructor: Coco
In this retreat, Coco will help attendees practice mindfulness through yoga practices and art therapy activities.
“The two things that I love most: Art and Yoga, incorporated so well in ways I have not imagined before.”
Through art, Coco discovered its ability to help her dive into her inner self and express who she truly is. In many of her artworks, she also included culture to share and embrace her identity.
Coco hopes to encourage the attendees to be aware of their body and connect with their innermost feelings.

Mindfulness Creation：Kumud
In this retreat, Kumud will take us on a journey of mindfulness through drawing and writing.
Once, Kumud was stuck in a work system that left her feeling lost and exhausted. This then led her to reconnect with her love for drawing and encouraged her on a journey to India.
These two changes unexpectedly guided her on a whole different path. Traveling changed Kumud’s view on the world. and drawing changed her view on life. In this retreat, she hopes to share her experience and everything she has learned with the attendees.
Let’s follow Kumud, as we close our eyes and start creating freely with our hands!

Awareness in the Dark: Rosalyn
In this retreat, Rosalyn will be leading attendees on exploring our mind and body in the darkness.
“In a place of darkness, we actually see more around us.”
In her past experience, Rosalyn has formed a deep connection with her body through contact improvisation dance. She has also discovered how contact improvisation dance helps with being more mindful about the body.Our brain is very similar to a radio tape, in which it continuously repeats something it has learned. However, as we neglect being controlled by our brain and follow our body, we can relearn and rediscover many new things.
Let us follow Rosalyn’s guide and allow our five senses to open up for an unprecedented experience.
*This session will be guided in Chinese
*This session can be held bilingual, send your request to our official LINE @soulbarn at least one week before the retreat if you need.
