*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 16-year-olds and over.
A new year also symbolizes a new start for everything. As our first retreat of the year, we would like to invite you on a retreat of relaxation. On this day, allow yourself to embrace new beginnings through the help of art therapy and Reiki.
Let go of everything that has weighed on our shoulders in 2022, and welcome a new year with an open mind.
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.

Meditation Instructor: Rich
In this retreat, Rich will guide attendees to explore the body-mind-spirit connection and provide practical meditation tools that we can apply into our daily lives.
“Relaxing the body and re-balancing our brain activity leads to a calm state of mind. Then, exploring the nature of mind, emotions and internal energies. Finally, expanding our awareness outside of the body gives us insight into the nature of consciousness.”
Rich began practicing Martial Arts at the age of 7 and discovered the art of Tai Chi (Taiji Quan). Training in Tai Chi allowed Rich to better understand his body, mind and spirit connection and led to exploration of meditation.
Teaching Chen, Yang and Tsun Style Tai Chi since 2014, Rich has also trained extensively in different meditation styles with Masters around the world. Now, he has developed his own synthesis of movement, relaxation and meditation that is useful in everyday life and for spiritual cultivation. In the following years, Rich has also developed into the instructor of Universal Healing Tao System & Meditation and Qigong.
