Step into 2025 with clarity, creativity, and a vision that truly reflects YOU.

This one-of-a-kind event combines self-discovery, creative expression, and empowering photography to help you meaningfully connect with your goals and intentions for the year ahead. Whether you're clear on your vision or just beginning to explore, this workshop is designed to guide and inspire you every step of the way in making your dreams a reality.

✨ Guided Vision Setting

Tap into what truly matters to you as we reflect on your goals, desires, and the energy you want to bring into 2025. Through custom guided meditation and journaling, you’ll explore every area of your life to uncover what you’re ready to release and identify what you want to nurture or create anew.

This process is deeply intuitive. You’ll practice letting go, feeling into what’s alive, and trusting the answers that arise within you. These insights may appear as images, emotions, sounds, or ideas and you’ll be guided to recognize and translate them into visual, artistic expression by blending words and images.

🎨 Vision Board Creation

With your reflections and insights in hand, you’ll bring your vision to life through the art of creating a personalized vision board. No crafting or art experience is necessary, all materials are provided! If you have favorite magazines, journals, or creative tools, feel free to bring them along.

Turning your vision into something tangible is a magical step. It shifts your dreams from thoughts into reality, providing clarity and focus for the year ahead.

📸 Empowering Portrait Photoshoot

A picture is worth a thousand words—and seeing yourself as the empowered, fully expressed version of who you want to be is transformative. Instead of cutting out images from magazines, you’ll create something uniquely yours: a professional portrait that reflects your vision.

You will receive a mini portrait session and three high-resolution images on a clean white background, perfect for:

• Your vision board centerpiece

• Professional use (profile photos, business pages, etc.)

• A daily reminder of your powerful, authentic self

(This photoshoot alone is worth attending the workshop.

Astrologically, February 1st is the most magical day of the year, because Venus reaches her most exalted point, showering joy, beauty, and creativity, while aligning with Neptune to inspire dreams and imagination.

The day calls us all to connect and express our desires through beauty and creation.

Let's make something magical together and step into 2025 with a clear vision and inspiration.

Space is limited to ensure an intimate, personalized experience. Reserve your spot today!

About Your Host

Hi, I’m Dragana Paramentic, a professional photographer with over 20 years of experience capturing meaningful moments and empowering visual stories. I hold a Master of Arts degree, which deepened my creative approach and fuels my passion for connecting art with transformation.

In addition to my photography, I’m an intuitive coach and evolutionary astrologer. My work is all about helping people reconnect with their true essence, step into their power, and see themselves in a new light—both literally and metaphorically.

I believe that art, intention, and play can transform (both the world and) how we see ourselves—and that’s exactly what I bring to each project I create. It’s my joy to hold spaces where you can explore your dreams, embrace your uniqueness, and step confidently into your vision for the future.

Kind and gentle reminder that AQUA events are exclusively by and for queer Asian folks of marginalized genders! Queer meaning anyone who identifies as being anywhere along the 2SLGBTQQII+ spectrum, Asian meaning anyone from Asia, including East, SouthEast, South, SouthWest, West, North and Mixed Asian and marginalized genders including cis and trans women, non-binary folks, trans men and gender diverse people.

Reconnect, ground, and flow into the New Year. This workshop is designed for those seeking to strengthen their connection with themselves, their health, and their sense of identity through mindful movement.

Movement is a language, and flow is your unique code. This class offers a guided and playful space to break free from structured dance, allowing intuition to guide your movement and expression. Come as you are—no previous dance or meditation experience required!

The class will be divided into two parts:

Grounding & Exploration

• We’ll begin with an open circle to land into our bodies and set intentions.

• Through interactive exercises, you’ll explore basic movement principles inspired by martial arts, boxing, Qigong, and yoga, designed to play with movement while engaging in exercises that emphasize body awareness, balance, and flow.

Open Dance & Integration

• An open dance session where you’ll be free to mix, match, and experiment with the concepts taught, flowing to a wide variety of beats and rhythms that evoke different emotions and inspire movement.

• We’ll finish with a closing circle, meditation, and stillness to ground and integrate the experience, supporting your transition back to everyday life.

Element focus for this session: Earth

The element of Earth represents a grounded foundational container that holds space and creates pillars of structure in our lives.

In this workshop we will begin low and slow, tuning into the internal architecture of our bodies that holds everything in place. From this awareness we will begin to explore movement, 

using straight lines that convey directness, focus and intention. Then we will expand towards creative expression by contrasting structured order with playful chaos.

Benefits of ‘Somatic Meditation’ for well-being:

• Do you experience endless mind chatter, disconnection from your body, or challenges with expressing yourself? Deepen the connection with your somatic intelligence while playfully practicing self-expression in an open, honest, and supportive environment.

• Learn to recognize and honor your body’s needs, boundaries, and the messages it is communicating to you.

• This practice will help you feel more grounded and connected, improving your day-to-day life by reducing mind chatter and creating space for honest self-expression.

What to Bring:

• Water bottle

• Comfortable clothing for movement
