Nicola BrownThe Unraveling: Redefine Your Relationship with Money This New Year
December 29, 2025 - January 1, 2026 Go back
After the rush of the holidays—when emotions and spending often collide—most of us quietly start asking: What do I really want my relationships to feel like this year?
This retreat is an invitation to bring those unconscious questions into the light. Together, we’ll explore the subtle ways our relationship with money mirrors how we show up in every other relationship—our friendships, our families, our partners, even ourselves.
You’ll uncover the hidden stories that shape your choices, release the guilt and shame that don’t belong to you, and leave with the clarity to create relationships—financial and otherwise—that feel aligned, empowered, and free.

Class description
As one year closes and another begins, many of us feel the pull to create something different—not just surface changes, but a genuine return to who we truly are beneath the layers of conditioning, expectation, and old patterns that no longer fit.
This four-day experience is designed to unravel what's been holding you back while exploring the relationships that most deeply impact your sense of freedom, confidence, and authentic power. Through a dynamic blend of expressive movement, silence and honest conversation, we'll discover what it means to live from your natural essence while navigating the practical realities of modern life.
Our days will flow between movement practices that awaken your body's wisdom, walking explorations in nature, and facilitated conversations that dive beneath surface pleasantries into the territories that truly matter. We'll explore the invisible forces that shape our choices: How do we create an unshakable connection within ourselves? What does it mean to trust our own knowing in relationships, purpose, and life direction?
One of our deepest inquiries will examine a relationship we rarely discuss openly yet impacts every area of our lives—our connection to money. Beyond budgets and investment strategies, we'll explore money as a relationship: the stories we inherited about worth and scarcity, the patterns that keep us playing small or pushing too hard, and how our financial relationships reflect our deepest beliefs about safety, power, and belonging.
Through movement practices, you'll reconnect with your body's natural intelligence and joy. In conversation circles, you'll discover the relief of speaking authentically about topics often kept private. Together, we'll create the conditions for genuine breakthrough—not through force or analysis, but through the gentle power of being witnessed in your full truth.
This experience is for individuals seeking to move beyond what's no longer working and step into the new year with renewed direction and intention. Whether you're an entrepreneur seeking deeper purpose in your work, a leader longing to integrate heart and ambition, or someone in life transition ready to trust your own path, you'll find both challenge and support here.
You'll leave with practical tools for maintaining connection to yourself, renewed clarity about what you truly value, and the rare gift of having been seen and celebrated for who you really are. Most importantly, you'll have experienced what it feels like to come home to yourself—a felt sense you can return to whenever life pulls you away from your center.
Come as you are. Leave as who you're meant to be. The unraveling begins with a single thread of curiosity about what becomes possible when we stop pretending and start living.
