The Art of Becoming Daylong Retreat
A Day Together, and a Private 1:1 With Grace
Hosted by The Hivery // Led by Grace Kraaijvanger, Founder of The Hivery
Saturday, July 25 | 10 AM – 5 PM
475 Miller Ave, Suite A, Mill Valley, CA
*Limited to 10 Women*
A Program for Women in Seasons of Change, Expansion, and Becoming
Pause. Listen. Connect. Become.
There are seasons in life when something new is taking shape. Not all at once. Not with certainty. Just a quiet knowing that the person you've been is no longer the whole story, and that something else is asking to emerge. It can feel uncomfortable at times, yet it’s where real impactful change happens.
The Art of Becoming is a program I'm leading personally, two parts: a full day together this July, and a private one-on-one with me before the end of summer, designed to create space for that unfolding.
As a former professional dancer, I know what it means to rebuild a body of work, a craft, an identity, more than once. The Hivery itself was born out of that same kind of reinvention, out of grief as much as ambition. In the thirteen years since, I've hosted and interviewed extraordinary women, built a thriving community, and then watched it nearly disappear when the pandemic closed our doors. I rebuilt The Hivery brick by brick, with nothing certain except the belief that this work mattered.
I talk about this on my podcast and write about it on my Substack, The Art of What's Next, but the deeper truth is this. I've stood where you might be standing, not knowing what comes next. And I know what happens when you rebuild it, especially when you're held by real connection and real creativity. That's what this program is built on.
Hosted at The Hivery in Mill Valley on July 25th, this intimate program invites you to step away from the demands of everyday life and spend a day with me, in person, then go even deeper one-on-one (scheduled at your convenience this summer), reconnecting with yourself, your desires, and the future that is quietly calling you forward.
This is not a productivity workshop or a goal-setting intensive. It's an opportunity to slow down, clarify, listen deeply to your internal desires and yearnings, quiet the noise, and create enough spaciousness to hear your own wisdom again, guided by someone who has walked this kind of unfolding more than once...in a group small enough that I can also sit with you personally.
The Invitation
Perhaps you're standing at the beginning of a new chapter.
Perhaps you're navigating change, feeling untethered, or simply longing for more clarity, connection, and intention.
You don't need to have the answers.
You don't need a plan.
You simply need the willingness to pause long enough to listen, and to spend the day in a room with me and a small group of women doing the same.
The Experience
This is an immersive day. I'll be with you for all of it, guiding you through each shift:
Reconnect and Begin: Yoga & Meditation We'll open the day grounded in the body, moving through gentle yoga and meditation to quiet the noise and arrive fully present.
Release: Connection & Lunch From there, we'll move into guided signature exercises around your next chapter, connection, introspection, and the kind of meaningful conversation that only happens when a group of women are given spacious permission to go deeper. We'll carry that same spirit of connection into a nourishing private chef created lunch together.
Reimagine: Creativity & Reflection In the afternoon, we'll turn to a hands-on creative exercise to explore what wants to emerge without overthinking it. Then you'll have dedicated solo reflection time, space to sit with what's surfaced and let your own wisdom speak.
Closing: Sound Bath We'll close the day together in a restorative sound bath, letting everything settle into the body including a closing circle before you reintegrate what you’ve experienced into your life.
Along the way, you'll also enjoy thoughtful surprises and the company of an inspiring community of women, and direct access to me throughout the day to talk through wherever you are in your own becoming.
Then, a Private 1:1 With Me
The day is part one. In the weeks that follow, you and I will sit down together, just the two of us, for a private one-on-one session. You'll choose the track that matters most to you right now:
Seeking clarity on your next chapter
Evaluating and getting strategic direction on your business
A marketing bootcamp session
Pricing and revenue strategy
A custom topic of your choice
I'll complete every 1:1 by August 31st, so you’ll go into the Fall season feeling clear, inspired, activated, and in touch with your intuition on what’s ahead for you.
What You'll Leave With
By the end of the daylong retreat and 1:1 session, you'll leave with:
Greater clarity about what matters most right now
A deeper connection to your intuition and inner wisdom
A renewed sense of possibility and self-trust
Meaningful connections with other women
A calmer nervous system and a more rested body
A direct relationship with me, built over a full day and a private 1:1 conversation
Most importantly, you'll leave feeling more connected to the person you are becoming.
Reserve Your Spot
$995 includes a full day with me, Grace, at The Hivery: yoga and meditation, real connection, lunch, a creative exercise, solo reflection time, and a closing sound bath, plus a private one on one session with me on the track of your choice (next chapter clarity, business strategy, marketing bootcamp, pricing strategy, or a custom topic), completed by August 31st.
I'm only taking a very small group of women for this program so I can provide the personal attention this immersive experience requires.
