A 5-Hour Immersive Experience: Feb. 15, 2026 10am-3pm The Barn Mariemont 
 
This half-day retreat is a gentle yet powerful journey into the three pillars of our inner world: Core Needs, Core Values, and Core Gifts—the foundation of how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. When we don’t know our cores, we often find ourselves in jobs, relationships, and family dynamics that feel misaligned or draining, expecting others to meet us in ways they simply can’t because their cores are different. Clarity around what truly matters to us helps us navigate work, home, friendships, and romantic relationships with more compassion, boundaries, and ease. When we know our cores, we stop chasing what isn’t meant for us—and
create space for what is. After all, the universe can’t hit a moving target.
 
We’ll begin with warm introductions, followed by 25–30 minutes of nourishing Yin Yoga, accompanied by live sound bowls played by Kateri, helping us settle into our bodies and arrive fully.
 
From there, we’ll dive into Core Needs and Core Values, with guided reflection, journaling, and group exploration. After a short break for rest and nourishment, Kateri will teach everyone NeuroTouch, a simple and empowering self-care technique you can use anytime to support your nervous system.
 
We’ll then move into Core Gifts, exploring what is uniquely yours to offer the world. Everyone brings their own snack/lunch something to share if you choose, followed by gentle integration—either a mindful walk (weather and timing permitting) or additional movement and grounding practices indoors.
 
In the afternoon, we’ll pair up for a values-sharing ritual, using a symbolic cord to anchor connection and accountability. When the cord eventually falls off, it becomes an invitation to reach out—continuing the connection beyond the retreat. We’ll close with intention setting and a luxurious, hour-long sound immersion led by Kateri
—deep, resonant, and profoundly restorative—before saying our goodbyes.
 
Each participant will leave with a small handmade gift.
