As we celebrate Coastal Alchemy's first year in business, we are filled with so much gratitude and couldn't have done it without your support.
When I made the decision to step away from the media industry two years ago and share my story, I couldn’t have anticipated the outpouring of support. Since then, I've not only learned how to better prioritize my well-being with tools and resources but I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training, became a Reiki practitioner and launched Coastal Alchemy with a mission to create safer spaces for deeper connections by curating wellness experiences for the mind, body and soul. As I celebrate Coastal Alchemy's first year in business, I am filled with so much gratitude and I could not have done it without the support of friends, family and the local community. This year has been all about growth—both personally and professionally. Each event has reminded me that the path to wellness is about appreciating the journey and the importance of slowing down and being present in the moment. Highlights of the first year include: - Being asked to present at the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence Advocates' Retreat to help provide advocates with a much-needed space to reset, recharge, and reflect on their vital work, while sharing mindfulness techniques for self-care at home - Collaborating with local cafes and businesses for pop-up events allowing us to bring mindfulness tools like meditation, reiki, journaling and breath work into new spaces - Connecting with and holding space for over 100 lovely souls, in-person and online, through our mindfulness workshops - Launching and selling out our first retreat in Joshua Tree, California happening in October - Expanding our online presence with the launch of our YouTube channel, providing free guided meditations every Monday Over the past year, I’ve learned the power of adaptability and the importance of creating mindful experiences that resonate with the community. Each event has inspired me to continuously refine our offerings and create even more meaningful experiences that can be accessible to all. As we move into Coastal Alchemy’s second year, I’m so excited about what’s ahead. You can expect new retreat locations, deeper dives into wellness practices, supper clubs and even more creative collaborations that align with our core values of mindset, connection, and community. I’m so grateful for everyone who has participated in a workshop, shared an event with a friend, partnered with us, liked a post or supported us in any way—you’ve made this year possible. We’re just getting started and I’m so honored to be trusted with your wellness journeys. If you would like to stay up-to-date on what Coastal Alchemy is up to next, give us a follow or say hello. Here’s to another year of intentional living, soulful connections, and dreaming even bigger. #mentalhealthawareness #mindfulnesscommunity
