Day 1- Homecoming

Welcome home . Root.  Landing.

 

This is a day of gentle arrival. We arrive,  in body, on the land, into a new space. The space prepares to receive us, and we surrender to that first moment when something within us exhales. This is not merely a physical arrival, but an inner landing.

 

As we step onto the land, we begin to soften. We check in, settle into our rooms, and take the time to breathe. There is no rush. No urgency. Just space to arrive.

In soft words, gentle glances, subtle touch,  we begin to build our ground. Ground for belonging. Ground for safety. Ground for trust. This marks the beginning. The roots reach down. Here, each of us is invited to release the journey we’ve taken and open the door to healing and connection. In the early evening, we gather for the Opening Session: Homecoming, a shared moment of welcome, grounding, and intention. Later, under the stars, our first Community Night begins.

 

Nothing to do. Just arrive.

Day 2- Rooted in the Mud

Feel. Move. Create.

 

After we land, it’s time to dance. The waters inside us begin to stir — emotions, desires, creativity — a gentle listening to the sensations of the belly. This is a day of movement. Of permission, to feel, to shift, to connect. Like a river, we move between depth and play, between flirtation and compassion.

 

We begin with Morning Flow, gently waking the body and attuning to the rhythm of breath and motion. As the sun rises, we gather for the Opening of the Day, a shared arrival into what is ready to be felt.  Throughout the day, we explore in morning and afternoon sessions. Workshops invite us into our relational world, into the roots of who we are, into practices of coherence, simplicity, and embodied presence. We anchor ourselves in the soil of what is real, rooting deeper with every breath. In the early evening, we gather again for the Closure of the Day, a moment to integrate, to reflect, to anchor. And as night falls, we come together for Community Night , a space to be seen, to celebrate, to connect in the ways only we can.

It’s a day of touching what moves us. A day to feel ourselves, through skin, sound, and imagination — and let our emotions move.

Day 3- Rising Through the Waters

Shine. Speak. Stand tall.

The flame within us knows the way. This is the day we meet our personal power, not power over, but the power of presence. The ability to say: I’m here. I burn. I deserve to shine.

 

We begin with Morning Flow, breath and motion awakening the fire within. Then we gather for the Opening of the Day, a shared invocation of courage, clarity, and voice. This is a day of courage. Of healthy boundaries. Of inner leadership. A day to be seen. To speak the truth. To take responsibility for who we are and how we show up.

In morning and afternoon sessions, we step into our light. Workshops invite us to explore dreams, coherence, and simplicity. We revisit roots. We navigate relationships. We explore what it means to be strong and tender, expressive and grounded.

In the evening, we return for the Closure of the Day, a moment to pause, reflect, and witness ourselves. And when night arrives, Community Night calls us again, to gather, to celebrate, to shine together.

It is a day of fire. Of strength. Of choosing to ignite others with our own light.

Day 4- Reaching for the Sun

Open. Be held. Love.

This day begins with softness. Our hearts,  that have already felt, moved, burned ,are now ready to love. To soften. To trust. To believe in people again. We greet the morning with Morning Flow, an invitation to awaken with gentleness and grace. Then we gather for the Opening of the Day, settling into the tenderness that awaits.

 

It’s a day of human contact. Of deep gaze. Of conversations that gently undress the soul. We are invited to be vulnerable, not as a weakness, but as a gateway to love and connection.

In our sessions throughout the day, we explore what it means to open. Through practices like The Samurai, Dreams, and more, we learn to hold and be held, to trust our presence and the presence of others, to lower the guards, to allow ourselves to be seen. As the light shifts, we come together for the Closure of the Day, gathering what was felt, spoken, and shared. And in the evening, we are bathed in ceremony, a special Community Night of Spreading the Light. Lễ Thả Đèn — the Lantern Releasing Ceremony — a collective ritual of letting go, of blessing, of luminous beauty.

 

This is the day of the heart. Of remembering we are not alone. Of loving and being loved, as we are.

Day 5-Blossoming into Light

Remember. Offer. Return.

The final day is not an ending. It’s a gentle beginning. The open threads begin to weave. The heart, touched again and again, now rests in quiet knowing. The body remembers, but does not grasp. There is no rush. Only presence.

 

We begin with Morning Flow, a final chance to breathe, stretch, and root into our bodies before we return to the world beyond this space. Later, we gather for our Closing Session: Taking OME Home, a ritual of integration, of remembering, of naming the light we carry, and how we will share it.

We reflect. We give thanks. We offer the gift of who we’ve become. Together, we rise, not as a performance, but as a living truth. Then we share one final lunch together, a circle of goodbyes that is really a circle of beginnings. No one leaves alone. We carry one another forward.

 

We are not leaving,  we are taking the light with us. A light that is ours,  and through us, a gift for the world. A living proof that we are all sparks, and together, a great flame.
