This Winter Solstice, join Kasia Urbaniak for

Alchemy 2024: A Year in Review

Full-Day Workshop on the Winter Solstice
Saturday, December 21st
From 12:00 PM - 5:00PM ET

You Don’t Need Another Resolution–What You Need is Alchemy!

Most year-in-review processes barely scratch the surface.

A quick hour of reflection. A vague resolution. A fleeting hope for the best.

But the way most people close out the year is actually missing our biggest opportunity.

In the rush to plan ahead, we skip over the most vital step: fully landing where we are.

Not here!

This Winter Solstice, you’re invited to a full-day, deeply guided process to do what our culture rarely allows:

  • Pause.

  • Close loops.

  • Digest your experiences.

  • And clear the space for what’s next.

This isn’t just another workshop on reflection.

It’s an act of alchemy. A full-spectrum transformation of where you’ve been into where you’re going.

Together, we’ll take the time to properly look back, to reflect not just with the mind but with the body and heart. Through this deliberate and alchemical process, you’ll create peace, rest, and readiness for the blank canvas that lies ahead.

This is not about forcing resolutions or rushing into the future.

It’s about the transformative act of completing and releasing what has been.

Alchemy 2024: A Year in Review

Full-Day Workshop on the Winter Solstice
Saturday, December 21st
From 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM ET

Why the Winter Solstice?

The Winter Solstice is a natural threshold, inviting reflection and release before renewal. It’s the darkest day of the year. A symbolic turning point, offering the perfect opportunity to:

  • Honor where you’ve been.

  • Choose what to transform and what to release.

  • Create space for what’s next.

It’s no accident that January is named after Janus, the Roman god who looks to both the past and the future. Just as Janus stands at the threshold of time, this is your moment in time to pause and consciously step into what comes next.

Without this pause, what’s unfinished in 2024 can spill over, dragging old patterns into the new year.

But with it, reflection becomes power. You move forward lighter, sharper, and deeply aligned—ready to meet what lies ahead.

Who Is This For?

This workshop is for you if:

  • You’re ready to honor the full story of 2024—its heartbreaks, triumphs, and everything in between—and uncover the deeper lessons it holds.

  • You want to fully claim and celebrate your victories, anchoring them as fuel for the year ahead.

  • You’re ready to release emotional weight and step into 2025 with clarity, lightness, and alignment.

  • You desire the tools and structure to break old patterns and open space for something new.

  • You’re craving a guided process that moves beyond surface-level reflection and into profound transformation.

Most people stumble into the new year carrying the chaos of December and the unresolved weight of the past. But with intention and alchemy, you can step into 2025 lighter, freer, and deeply aligned with what’s next.

Through Kasia’s deeply guided, full-spectrum process, you’ll transform where you’ve been into a foundation for where you’re going.

What You’ll Experience

Our approach is full-body and full-spectrum.

Together, we’ll hunt for every disappointment, every flex-worthy victory, and every untapped desire from 2024. Through movement, reflection, and connection, we’ll transform your experiences into fuel for a powerful and aligned 2025.

  • We don’t gloss over the bad. Every disappointment, rejection, and heartbreak is welcomed, felt, and alchemized through our bodies.

  • We don’t downplay the good. We hunt every celebration, we dig for our flexes, get high on our victories, and celebrate fully–loudly and unapologetically.

  • We align with the body. Movement is a key part of the day–helping you to metabolize emotions and release stuck energy.

  • We connect deeply. Small group breakout sessions create a space to share, to brag, and to brainstorm the road ahead.

  • We make space to create the future. One of the reasons your future planning doesn’t work is that you haven’t processed what is and what just happened. 

This workshop isn’t about forcing resolutions or magical thinking. It’s about becoming the version of yourself that 2024 has prepared you to be. 

Together, we’ll look back, integrate, and create the space required to map a future that’s deeply informed by where you’ve been.

Why This Process Works

The speed of our lives often leaves us stuck in a loop. When we skip the vital step of properly reflecting, unfinished business from the past lingers and clouds our vision for the future.

This workshop is designed to meet you where you are–whether 2024 was a heartbreaking year, a triumphant one, or a messy mix of both.

One of the gifts of this process is that when challenges or opportunities arise in 2025, you’ll respond from a present, aligned place, not from old patterns or unresolved experiences.

This workshop offers you the rare opportunity to:

  • Feel everything fully—so nothing stays stuck.

  • Celebrate authentically—even when things weren’t “perfect.”

  • Clear space for true rest, reflection, and alignment.

  • Prepare for 2025 from a place of peace, not baggage.

  • Dream boldly, knowing your vision is rooted in the truth of your life.

This is the essence of alchemy: transforming the raw materials of your year into fuel for what’s to come.

What You’ll Walk Away With

This workshop guides you through a powerful, step-by-step process to reflect on and transform your year. 

Before the workshop begins, you’ll collect any documentation of your 2024—calendars, journals, planners, or anything else that helps you review your year week-by-week. We all track our days in different ways, so bring whatever you think might best serve you.

During the workshop, we will:

Unearth the year’s events.
Through guided prompts, you’ll reflect on 2024, including what worked, what didn’t, what surprised you, and what you desire moving forward.

Process through movement.
Using physical practices, we’ll metabolize stuck emotions and transform challenges into fuel.

Celebrate and anchor victories.
Together, we’ll amplify your wins, solidify your accomplishments, and fully claim the merit of your year.

Close loops and create closure.
We’ll complete cycles, resolve unfinished business, and prepare your mind, body, and spirit for rest and renewal.

Map the way forward.
By uncovering patterns and insights, you’ll leave with a deep sense of alignment and readiness for the year ahead.


By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with: 

  • A complete review of 2024—every high, every low, every lesson.

  • A deep sense of peace and embodied power, no matter how turbulent the year was.

  • Tools to transform the past into fuel for growth.

  • A blank canvas for 2025, free from unresolved baggage and ready for what’s next.
