Recovery (December 17th)

Hey Friends! 

It’s been quite the year hasn’t it? Weddings, bachelor parties, long weekends, travel, work. I know for me, this was the busiest year of my life. As it’s coming to an end, I wanted to celebrate with a much needed “recovery" event. This isn’t your normal festivity of drinking and partying. We’re going to go inwards, we’re going deep. 

I’ve planned a day of activities all around reworking our bodies, minds, and energy. Below is the itinerary, if you’re interested in knowing more, I’ve hyperlinked the specific activities we’ll be partaking in. 

Reset (10:00am)

To kick off the day, we will be starting our recovery at Othership. Othership is a social bathhouse that will be hosting our group. They will have an instructor taking us through a guided class that combines breath work, sauna, and ice bath experiences. It will be 75 minutes and goal is to let go of all the stress built up from this past year. We’re looking to feel invigorated and empowered when leaving. 

What you’ll need: bathing suit and water bottle

Please eat something before you come. It does get quite hot in the sauna and we don’t want anyone fainting.

Please sign up for the event here.

 



Review (12:30pm)

After our time at Othership, we will be coming home to The Sanctuary (694 Bloor St W. Apt. 2) to get our auras done by Evelyn from Rose Aura. I’ve had the chance to meet with Evelyn a couple times to get my aura photographed and it is such a fun and positive experience. 

Everyone omits a certain aura depending on their energy, mood, internal and external surroundings. What Evelyn will do is take your portrait to capture your aura in that moment. At the end, she will explain what the colours mean based on a high understanding of energy and the chakra system.

The goal here is to visualize how we feel. This may lead to helping you understand more about yourself and where you’re at in that instant.

If you’re interested in crystals, Evelyn will have some available which you can purchase.




Refuel (2:00pm)

Once the group has had their aura’s read, we will move into a late lunch. We’re going to nourish our bodies with some lovely Mediterranean food provided by College Falafel. It’s homemade from scratch using fresh and healthy ingredients.

I’ll be ordering falafel and chicken platters which you can build yourself. There will be both vegan and non-vegan options. We will be eating at The Sanctuary. 






Relax (4:30pm)

The afternoon/evening portion of the night will be less structured. We will be creating a safe space to enjoy each other’s company in full. There will be music playing, group games, joints being passed, and indulging in psychedelics. The goal here is to be absolutely present.

At the same time, I’ve invited Liv to set up a tattoo station in one of the rooms upstairs. Tattoos are a great way to bookmark a moment in your life, symbolize something of importance, or just something fun to do with friends. I’ve given Liv 5 designs which you can choose from. If you want to get a tattoo, they are $50 (limbs/torso) and $70 (placements). 

What you’ll need: cash (don’t forget to tip)









The entire day is about recovery so it’ll be a dry party. If you’re looking to drink, it’s BYOB. Excluding the tattoos, the entire day will be $125 (Othership + Rose Aura + Food). You can confirm your attendance by e-transfer. My email is matthew.im12@gmail.com. Due to capacity at The Sanctuary, capacity will be 15 people.
