As we move further into winter—and as the quiet of the season envelops us—we find ourselves in a gentle, contemplative pause. It’s a moment inviting reflection, a time to reckon with what lies beneath the surface of our lives, and to explore the silent depths where true healing, inspiration, and connection reside.

February, often seen as the loneliest month in the Northeast—wrapped in cold and introspection—can also be a season of profound beauty and inner awakening. Together, we will transform this quietude into a nourishing retreat—an antidote to the isolation and a celebration of community, love, and the timeless wisdom of Chinese medicine.

This is more than a gathering; it’s a sacred invitation to slow down, to listen deeply, and to awaken the luminous light within. Through movement, art, sound, and gentle restorative practices, we will honor the body’s capacity to heal, the spirit’s desire for connection, and the heart’s call for nourishment.

Within the walls of the beautiful home of The Galinskys, just across the Hudson River in The Palisades, NY—we will experience:

• Meditation and Qigong to awaken your vitality

• Artistic expression and creative connection

• Mergence of sound, music, and voice to expand your inner light

• Sacred, nourishing modalities rooted in Chinese medicine—delivering rest, renewal, and profound healing

• Moments of shared conversation and community, infused with love and intention

Special guests include Singer & Songwriter, Tiffany Thompson—whose poetry, voice, and presence will weave through our day—and with surprises from guest practitioners, this gathering offers an authentic, embodied experience of life’s restorative potential. Especially special will be our conversations with esteemed Acupuncturist and Author, Ann Cecil- Sterman and Sacred Geometry Artist Norman Galinsky.

Join us from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Palisades—bring your family, friends, and your open heart. We welcome 30 curious souls seeking renewal amidst winter’s hush. No matter where you are in your journey, this is a space built for deep listening, inner illumination, and gentle expansion.

Let this be your sanctuary—a place to rest, reflect, and reconnect with the shimmering light within you.
