Summer Day (Summer's Alchemy) and Jody Crawford (Attract Energy) are teaming up for a day full of Soulful Expressions. This mini retreat is designed to help you reconnect with your inner child's creativity, access deeper creative flow states through guided hypnagogic light exploration, and make meaningful progress on your personal projects in a supportive community.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Your All-Inclusive Experience

Your $87 investment includes:

Experiential Personal Development Exploration

Facilitated by Jody Crawford, a seasoned certified teacher and life coach

Engage in an interactive personal growth experience designed to deepen self-awareness, inspire new perspectives, and support meaningful personal transformation. Through guided exploration, you'll gain practical insights and tools to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Alchemizing Hypnagogic Light Experience

Facilitated by Summer Day, Certified Teacher

This unique guided light exploration invites you into a relaxed, receptive state that encourages creativity, curiosity, and a "beginner's mind." By engaging with light in an intentional way, participants may access new insights, unlock creative potential, and experience expanded ways of perceiving themselves and the world around them.

Creative Project Time

Dedicated time will be provided for you to work on a creative project of your choice. Whether you're writing, drawing, crafting, or exploring a new idea, this space is designed to support inspiration, focus, and creative expression.

Refreshments

Light refreshments will be available throughout the event. Participants are also welcome to bring a snack or treat to share, fostering a spirit of community and connection.

Meaningful Connection

Connect with like-minded individuals in a welcoming and supportive environment. Share ideas, experiences, and inspiration while building authentic relationships with others who are interested in personal growth, creativity, and conscious exploration.

A Creative Gathering

When was the last time you gave yourself uninterrupted time to create?

Soulful Expressions is a nurturing afternoon designed for folks who long to reconnect with their creativity, make meaningful progress on a project, and experience the inspiration that emerges when we gather in community.

Bring a project you've been wanting to start, continue, or complete—whether it's painting, knitting, scrapbooking, writing, journaling, mixed media, vision boarding, quilting, crafting, or any creative endeavour that calls to you.

OR

Explore with a craft we provide (so far, we are offering soap-making and water-colour bookmarks). This is not a class where you'll be taught a specific skill. Instead, it is a dedicated space for creation, connection, and gentle encouragement.

As part of our time together, we will experience a guided hypnagogic light session designed to help quiet mental chatter, encourage creative flow, and support access to deeper states of imagination and insight. This experience may help participants approach their projects with fresh perspectives while encouraging the brain's natural capacity for neuroplasticity and creative exploration.

Imagine spending an afternoon surrounded by supportive folks, immersed in creative energy, making progress on something that matters to you.

Each element is intentionally curated to help you Connect, Play & Expand

WHY GATHER THIS WAY?

Creativity Flourishes in Community.

When we create alongside others, we often find:

  • Greater motivation and momentum

  • Increased focus and follow-through

  • Fresh inspiration and new ideas

  • A sense of belonging and connection

  • Reduced creative blocks and self-judgment

  • Renewed confidence in our creative voice

  • The joy of making time for ourselves

You'll leave with progress on your project, meaningful connections, and a replenished creative spirit.

What to bring

  • A creative project you'd like to work on, and/or we will have options for you to explore (make our own soap/pain a picture, create a friendship bracelet, etc.)

  • Any supplies or materials you need-- (I will have a glue gun, sewing machine, scissors, glue sticks, felts and acrylic paint)

  • A water bottle or favourite beverage

  • Comfortable clothing you can play in

  • Curiosity and an open mind

You'll leave with progress on your project, meaningful connections, and a replenished creative spirit.

Whether you're an experienced artist, a passionate crafter, or someone simply longing to reconnect with your creative self, you are welcome here.
