Alchemy of Creativity Day Retreat | Cancer + Vessels of Belonging

Themes: Home | Nurture | Ancestral Waters | Memory

WHEN
Sunday, July 19, 2026
1:00PM–5:30PM

WHERE
Nectar Yoga Dome, Bowen Island, BC

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This nurturing art and yoga retreat honours Cancer’s themes of home, memory, and nourishment through slow movement, breathwork, and the creation of clay vessels.

Following a gentle, heart-forward yoga sequence, you’ll move into hand-forming Japanese-style tea cups—simple, handle-less, deeply personal. Using impressions from botanicals gathered on Nectar’s land, each vessel becomes a container for memory and belonging.

This workshop will be co-led by Sara Skuce of The Burrow on Bowen Island, who will guide both the hand-building of Japanese tea cups and the creation of a botanical-stamped clay pendant; all pieces will be professionally fired and glazed in traditional cobalt hues at her Bowen studio and ready for pickup or shipment four weeks later (shipping available for an additional fee).
