Get In The Room: The May Events Guide For Soulful Expansion

The energy’s high this month – in every possible way. Everywhere we go, people are talking about making a big change. But true transformation isn’t just about willpower—it requires more rest, more support, and more aligned connection than many of us realize we need. It’s the opposite of rushing. It’s being grounded into the right spaces with the right people. This month’s vibe: Just get in the room!  Ok, yes, this is a Tony-Robbins type phrase that floats around the coaching world, but it’s true: Being in the right environment, among the right people is often the most important first step toward opportunities, growth, and expansion. 

To support and inspire you, here are some upcoming May events and experiences that look incredible: 

First, the very inspiring Elizabeth Gilbert will be leading a creativity and liberation workshop in Vancouver May 23 & 24. While you might know her as the author of Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic, she’s also known for her refreshing perspective on women, creativity, aging, money, and becoming truly wise. During this workshop, Liz will tell inspirational stories from her own life, and will lead the group in a series of written exercises to see how the different channels of fear, enchantment, trust, permission, and mysticism guide and direct the creative imagination. Details here. See you there? 

If you’re seeking a musical experience that feels like a meditation, renowned mantra artist Deva Premal is coming to Vancouver on May 13 – her music has been played in many a yoga studio and she’s quite a legend in the world of mantra music. Celebrated for her soulful renditions of ancient mantras that you’ve definitely heard in a yoga class, Deva Premal and her partner Miten will be accompanied by flutist Manose on May 13th. Get your tickets.

For a day of mindfulness with horses (yes please) this beautiful half-day mindfulness retreat with horses in Bellingham, Washington looks incredible. You can book very affordable sessions or half-day experiences on the ranch to receive emotional support, work through anxiety, and spend time with the animals.

If creativity is calling, join beloved yoga teacher, author & ritualist Mara Branscombe for a five week series starting in May, on connecting with creativity, movement, and your own gifts. Mara is an amazing teacher. 

For a dinner party that never disappoints, head over to Conscious Lab for a facilitated evening of great conversation, delicious food, and to meet like-minded wellness entrepreneurs. The next Conscious Dinner Party is happening May 13, featuring Miranda Lievers the co-founder of Thinkific. 

This upcoming Breathwork for Expansion session invites you to tap into a more expansive state, to help you meet yourself in a new way, so that you can create what you’re ready to bring forward in your life.
