Category: Inspire & Connect
*Inspire & Connect provide 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.
There are many times, when we are prompted to make certain decisions because of an invisible force. It’s hard to describe what that feeling is and where it came from. It seems as a power that leads us in specific times, just like an instinct.
Overtime, with the help of mindfulness and meditation, we can train these instinct to become stronger.
In this retreat, we will be learning about the 22 cards in Tarot and how to utilize them for healing in our daily lives.
Moreover, we will open up five senses through meditation and stretch to let out the ideas in our mind.
“ Allow the canvas to act as a mirror that reflects your inner mind. Through the drawing, you will find yourself.”
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.
Exploring the subconscious and Meditation Instructor: Gina

Later, through “Manifesting Our Subconscious: Free Writing” and “Reality vs Dream: Understanding Our Emotions from The Outside”, attendees will discover the message of their subconscious through free writing and drawing.
“Follow your heart and you’ll realize that everything is connected.”
Gina has received her yoga qualification in places including Taiwan, Thailand and Nepal.
In her experience, she has felt unity with the universe by yoga, meditation, chanting and self observation and has also found a connection with her inner self that she has never felt before as a kid.
Gina believes that listening closely to your heart, and observing every movement can help you gain a better understanding of yourself.
