Sapience Workshop
Akera
Woodbourne, NY
March 20 - 27th, 2026
What is the sapience workshop?
The Sapience Workshop is a week-long immersive experience designed to deepen your capacity for authentic expression, emotional intelligence, and relational presence. It’s a training ground for embodied self-awareness, where you learn to feel more, reveal more, and relate with greater truth and power.
Through a dynamic group process known as The Pulse, you’ll step into The Meeting, a potent space where hidden patterns, suppressed emotions, and unconscious roles are brought into the light of connection. This work is both personal and collective. You’ll confront your edges, move through what’s in the way of deeper freedom, vitality, intimacy, and truth.
This is not a workshop where you disconnect from life, it’s one where you meet it more fully.
