January Retreat 2026 - Awaken Your Dreams
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM





 In 2025 Sweetwater Studios held it's first annual New Year's retreat called Winning at Life!

It was a huge success and we are ready to offer an even better opportunity in 2026!

The 2026 day long retreat will be held on Saturday January 3, 2026 from 9 AM - 5 PM and will focus on Energy work, which is the art of tuning into and consciously shifting the subtle currents that run through and around us. Whether through breath, movement, meditation, and other forms of moving energy, this work helps dissolve blocks, restore harmony, and amplify the frequencies of desire and gratitude.

Awaken Your Dreams for the new year and beyond. Watch for more news about the retreat and other exciting workshops related to Manifestation & Energy Work!

The Retreat day will be followed with 7 related workshops throughout the

year.
