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.

Finished pieces will be fired for pick-up or local delivery. For guests travelling, hand-drying clay will be available.
