Many of us strive to live a purposeful life filled with joy and maybe some cool stuff, but what's the secret sauce? Our Day Retreat is designed to guide you to find a deeper connection with yourself. You will be supported by incredible facilitators. We will open the day with an introductory talk by Atarah Valentine, an expert in Emotional Resilience, Hypnotherapist, and Mindset Coach. Next, an icebreaker exercise led by Liana Blackburn, the creator of Body Language, will warm everyone up. Following that, Rita Olivera, a sacred musician and cacao ceremonialist, will facilitate a cacao circle and a vocal toning exercise to help us open up our voices. Thought leader Atarah will then guide us on a journey of self-understanding and emotional resilience, sharing wisdom, practices, and tools to connect with our feelings. To deepen Atarah’s teachings, James Hyman will lead a practice involving breathing exercises to access deep levels of consciousness. This will be followed by a calming sound healing session with Cibele and Rita, accompanied by hypnosis guidance with Atarah to set new programming into your subconscious mind! Liana will then support integration through an embodied movement practice that will bring you to your full aliveness. At sunset, indulge in a delicious farm-to-table meal crafted by Chef Lavender. We are looking forward to sharing this experience with you and fostering a community grounded in these transformative practices.

The San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) is in full bloom this spring, with floral designers interpreting works of art from the Museum’s collection into vibrant floral displays from April 25–April 28, 2024. Art Alive is the Museum’s signature annual fundraiser, providing critical year-round support for exhibitions, education, and outreach programs in the community. The signature celebration brings a kaleidoscope of nearly 100 colorful floral arrangements inspired by works of art on view at SDMA. The theme for this year’s Art Alive celebrates Indian art and culture, and the event will include a special installation from the Museum’s renowned Edwin Binney 3rd collection of South Asian paintings.

Meghaa Modi, the Museum’s first international rotunda designer and India’s premier wedding and concept floral designer, is traveling from Bangalore, India, to fill the Museum’s two-story rotunda with a vibrant, large-scale floral installation. Guests will relish her multi-sensory design that celebrates the rich cultural tapestry of India, centered around the revered bovine figure of the goddess Kamadhenu, described in Hinduism as the wish-granting mother of all cows. Bloom Bash also returns this year, offering immersive art installations, live performances, custom henna applications from Henna San Diego, sweet and savory bites from more than 30 top eateries, including local Indian restaurants, and signature cocktails, craft beer and upscale wines. The 21+ party also features a Ferris wheel in the Plaza de Panama outside the Museum, plus live performances from Indian drummers, dancers, and a DJ.
