Sanctuary from Black Friday

Step out of the holiday rush and into a sanctuary of calm. The Peace Soirée is a one-day wellness retreat designed to restore your body, quiet your mind, and spark joy during the busiest season of the year. As an escape from the over-consumption and madness of Black Friday, the day is centered on presence, renewal, and peace.
