Soft Power: Korean Wisdom for Modern Healing

Description

From K-pop Demon Hunters to Korean philosophy—discover how soft power helps you heal the past, embrace your unique essence, and step into your fullest expression.

How did South Korea transform collective trauma into global cultural influence in one generation?

How has the South Korean women's Olympic archery team won gold at every single Olympics since 1988?

Beneath K-pop, K-dramas, and K-beauty lies something deeper — centuries-old principles of resilience, balance, and transformation.

In this workshop, you'll experience the embodied traditions that have shaped Korea's resilience — through storytelling, mindful movement, and breathwork you can feel in your body and use in your daily life.

One of these core traditions is Kouk Sun Do, an ancient Korean yoga and breathwork practice. In this workshop, we’ll move together through a fully guided K-yoga sequence designed to calm the nervous system, release tension, and awaken your inner vitality.

✨ No experience is necessary — this workshop is accessible for all levels.
