Celebration of SHE Q&A

So what is the a Celebration of SHE? 

A spa day geared around nurturing WOMEN.  Typically women take care of everyone else, and are rarely taken care of.  We often don’t even take care of ourselves.   I have learned the value of taking care of myself and doing so has changed and empowered my life.  I know that is great power and strength in filling my vessel FIRST with self love and sharing my overflow with others.  Everyone wins in that scenario. The celebration of SHE is an opportunity to share  a sanctuary where other women can spend a day of self love filling their vessels, so there is overflow to share with those they love. A wonderful opportunity to recharge and nurture our spirits.  After all, when we are empty, we have nothing of value to give. Look at the Celebration of SHE as a filling station.

What is the cost of a Celebration of SHE? 

The Celebration of SHE costs s$400 per person.  As a show of appreciation for all women, including myself, Avocado House sponsors $126 of the cost as a gift.

What activities are included in this spa day? 

We live in a world of pure imagination, and we use our imagination broadly at Avocado House, so come in anticipation of relaxation and delight. The Spa Day includes: ~An opportunity to abandon your superhero cape and your troubles for the day. ~Somatic breathing in the Colibri yoga pavilion ~Garden earthing in the Sole to Soil to Soul Garden ~A therapeutic foot soak and scrub in the White Room ~A body massage in one of our private Casitas ~Chilly beverages ~Farm to table lunch with organic and sustainable foods ~A wonderful opportunity to garden bathe and take in the beautiful blooms, listen to  sounds of the unusual birds chirping, hummingbirds humming while watching butterflies fluttering about. ~Live music with recording artist Sierra Marin who has performed all around the country. ~An opportunity to partake in a little retail therapy with local artisans showcasing high quality pieces made with love.

Is this a group activity thing? 

YES it can be, however that is really up to YOU.  In between your spa treatments you can lay back in a garden chaise or hammock, unplug and take a nap if you want.  You can sit around with friends old and new, enjoy a chilly beverage and chat it up or a combination of the two.

Is this just for women? 

Yea this social experience is for grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, queens, kindred spirits AND ANYONE THAT IDENTIFIES AS SHE. [more matter how you were born]

Who should attend? 

All *well women looking to nurture, relax, restore and have FUN. [*remember “well”ness is a state of mind].

Can I invite other friends? 

YES! This is a WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY to invite friends and make it a celebration within a celebration. If you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary or a new job or “just because you haven’t hung out in a while,” the Celebration of SHE is a wonderful opportunity to connect with friends.  Invite your besties, tribe and kindred spirits along for the day.  Let them know that this is how you want to celebrate with them.

If I attended last year, should I expect the same social experience? 

Absolutely not, the Celebration of SHE is just as alive as you are, ever changing, evolving and growing into itself.  It is something you should continually experience. A wonderful tradition to partake in every year.

What should I wear to the Celebration of SHE? 

Comfy clothes, something you feel very relaxed in.  Garden shoes or flats, as you will encounter different types of terrain as you traverse the gardens.

What made you decide to do this? 

BECAUSE there is a lot of shit going on in the world and we need a break from it all to reconnect with our body, spirit and for just a few hours lose our mind and just BE. WE should celebrate ourselves more often. Typically we get one day a year of celebration, Mother’s Day, and that day isn’t for all of us.  I think ALL women, mother or not, should be celebrated, OFTEN.   I wanted to offer an opportunity to embrace and rejoice in sisterhood.  A chance to relax, connect and unplug surrounded by beauty, eating real food and being nurtured with spa treatments. This celebration is always the week before Mother’s Day, [giving a fair number of us an opportunity to get two celebrations in one month , YAY!].  If you are a mother, the Celebration of SHE is a wonderful gift to receive [from your family or from yourself].  A day to enjoy with no crowds and no responsibility.  I also wanted to start a precedent of taking time out to celebrate, perhaps this social experience will spark an interest in getting together in honor of sisterhood more, and often.

Are we allowed to explore the gardens? 

Yes! It is encouraged.  THE GARDENS ARE BEAUTIFUL WITH INCREDIBLE BLOOMS. There are secret garden rooms perfect for “sista friend” conversations with a chilly beverage and a snack and great little spots for journaling or bird watching. Places to lose your mind and find your inner peace.  So yes, definitely explore.  There are few places you can’t venture and those will be made clear. Otherwise go forth!

What if I am not sure this is right for me? 

This will never be a pressure sale.  Quiet your mind, do some deep breathing and from that space ask if this is for you. Please do not come because you want to invest in Avocado House, this is not that.  Come  because you are ready to invest in YOU.  This is all about you, your relaxation.

How many people can attend? 

We value intimate gatherings so space will be limited.  We typically hold space for 20-24 SHEs though that number varies every year.  If you are coming with friends, we DEFINITELY encourage you to get your tickets early, so the space isn’t sold out.

Do tickets have to be purchased in advance?

Yes, we need time to properly prepare for your presence. 

See you on May 4 @ 11:34am
