The afternoon closes with The Release List, a guided ritual that helps name what to leave behind and what to carry forward so insights can become part of everyday life. Light nourishment is provided to ground and restore. Participants receive unhurried time for themselves, expert-led care across mind, body, and spirit, The Anchored Experience Kit to extend the benefits at home, connection with others who understand the weight they carry, and access to a private community for continued support. Suggested attire is soft, neutral tones such as airy linens and earthy layers to reflect an unhurried pace. Hosted by founder Tatiana Vallejo in partnership with Dr. Lori Ochoa, Desiree Bourne, and ConciergeMD with Dr. Resham Uttamchandani.
