THE VESSEL
Designing the Inner Conditions for Creativity
A multi-sensory workshop for creativity, presence, and receptive inspiration.
What if creativity isn’t something you have to chase, but something you can become more available to receive?
The Vessel is a 60-minute experiential workshop exploring the inner conditions that allow creativity to emerge.
Through breath, subconscious exploration, and embodiment, Leila Astarabadi will guide participants out of the noise of the thinking mind and into a more receptive internal state, creating space for new ideas, insight and inspiration to arise.
The experience culminates in a 20-minute guided subconscious reprogramming, inviting you to quiet the external noise, deepen into the body and open to the creative intelligence already moving within you.

“DISCOVER YOUR RE”
A TRANSFORMATIVE WELLNESS EXPERIENCE HOSTED BY THE SUSAN SAMUELI INTEGRATIVE INSTITUTE
Celebrated by thousands over the years, Women’s Wellness Days is designed for those seeking trusted insights, meaningful connections, and inspiration to support their whole-person health journeys. Attendees immerse themselves in the latest health topics through presentations from internationally recognized speakers, gain practical tools for personal well-being, and interact with leading health educators in hands-on workshops. They also have opportunities to experience advanced medical diagnostic tools, discover new products in the showcase theater, shop a vibrant wellness retail marketplace, relax through immersive wellness experiences, enjoy nourishing meals, and be renewed in our welcoming, community-centered atmosphere.
The theme for WWD 2026 is “Discover Your Re,” a restorative experience designed to help attendees REconnect with themselves through REsiliency, REjuvenation, RElaxation, REfreshment, and REcharging — their “Re’s.”
