End of Year Mini-Retreat: NYC
November 22nd 10:15am, Soho
With Lydia Dallas Aldrich & Held Founder, Simone Topel
That’s right, we’re bringing the retreat to you, NYC!
For one special Sunday morning, we’re inviting you to give yourself permission to pause. Move your body, slow down your mind, meet new people and get a real taste (or a reminder) of what it feels like to come on retreat with us, without having to leave the city.
Take a moment to ground yourself, reflect on the year, and head into the holiday season feeling clear and connected. What better way to spend the Sunday before Thanksgiving?
Come on your own or share the love and bring a friend.
We can’t wait to see you there!!!
The Agenda:
🤍 10:15am: Welcome, arrive, settle in and say hi
🔥 10:25am: Pilates with Lydia: a strong, energising class to wake up your whole body
🌬️ 11:15am: Guided meditation with Simone
✍️ 11:30am: Reflection circle: time to journal, share and look back on the year
🍵 12:15pm: Tea, healthy treats and fun chats: make new friends (and ask us anything about retreating with Held!)
🎁 12:45pm: Head home with a little gift from us and some new phone numbers!
