Creating empowering meaning

Life is unpredictable. When challenges strike, how do you respond? Do you feel like life is happening to you—or for you?

The truth is: you get to choose, and that choice can change everything.

One of the most transformative tools we have is the meaning we assign to our experiences—the stories we tell ourselves about events, conversations, and even who we are.

In this powerful workshop, Kassandra will share the exact tools she used to navigate two broken arms, the loss of both of her parents, and a painful breakup—yet still look back and say, with conviction, that 2025 was one of the best years of her life.

Like all HCC workshops, this experience is hands-on and immersive, blending one-third teaching with two-thirds active participation and practice. You won’t just learn these tools—you’ll begin using them immediately.

Inner Child and Parts Work

Do you ever feel like you’re about to throw a tantrum? Lash out? Shut down completely?

Have you felt moments of fear, abandonment, or sudden emotional swings that seem bigger than the situation?

These intense reactions often point to unhealed wounds within our inner child.

Inner child and parts work offer a powerful pathway to understand yourself on a deeper level—why you react the way you do, what triggers your emotional patterns, and how you can show up in relationships with more clarity, consistency, and love-in-action rather than reactivity.

In this workshop, Tom brings humor, experience, and gentle guidance to a tender topic. He’ll help you build a more compassionate, responsible, and supportive relationship with your inner child—and with the people you care about most.

Autism: A Story of Belonging

Let's journey with Dr. Sarah Rhodes into the territory of Belonging, Labels and Psychedelics.

What does true belonging feel like? What if it isn’t about hustling for worth or worrying whether you fit in?

Join Dr. Sarah Rhodes as she shares her remarkable journey—from practicing Western medicine to receiving an autism diagnosis in her 30s, to becoming a psychedelic healing guide. Through it all, she has learned to befriend her own brain and nervous system in profound and liberating ways.

While each of our paths is unique, Sarah will illuminate the universal threads of growth and self-understanding that help us all:
• Know ourselves more deeply
• Trust our desires with greater confidence
• Speak up and advocate for what we need
• Clarify what we truly want—and dare to move toward it

This workshop offers a compassionate, insightful space to explore belonging, identity, and the transformative potential of psychedelic-informed healing.

The Art of Expressing Desire

Learn to communicate your desires with authenticity, clarity, and genuine invitation.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the language and energy of confidence, vulnerability, and honest expression—especially within sensuality, sexuality, and intimate connection.

Through interactive exercises, you’ll have the opportunity to begin to discover:

Identifying what you truly want and expressing it with courage and warmth
Letting someone know you’re interested without shrinking or pre-rejecting yourself
Asking for connection in ways that open possibility rather than apology
Finding the balance between self-denial and self-centeredness

You’ll leave feeling more confident naming your desires, more compassionate toward your own hesitation, and better equipped to create collaborative, exciting invitations.

Come ready to practice, play, and transform how you express desire.

Bonus Offerings: Yoga, Massage, and More
