You’re Invited: Hand Crafted Slumber Party 2026

Slumber Party Staycation 2026

Wednesday, April 29 - Friday, May 1

w/ Monica Bonugli

Come have a grown-up slumber party… Hand Craft Yoga style.

 

This staycation was born from a simple question Monica asked herself: What do I want to do?
The answer: create something joyful, restorative, and close to home... so she can stay near Winnie the Poodle while still gathering her favorite people.
What emerged is part yoga retreat, part creative playground, and all the slumber party vibes.

 

Our home base will be a beautiful house in San Antonio with a serene backyard, pool, hot tub, and sauna.
Think yoga, art-making, nature, floating sound baths, nourishing meals, playful experiences, meaningful conversation, and plenty of space to explore, rest, and simply be.

If you crave a little adventure, but don't want to travel far…
If you want both depth and delight…
If you want to feel inspired, connected, and reminded that we can have a good ol' time in our very own backyard (well, not *literally* our backyard, but close), then this staycation is for you.

Come join me! 

The Details

Wednesday | Arrival + Create + Cozy

We’ll begin the day with an optional 12–1 pm yoga class at Trilogy Dance Center for anyone who wants to start the experience early.

At 2:30 pm, we’ll meet at Denman Estate Park for our welcoming circle surrounded by nature. While we're there, we'll enjoy a casual picnic lunch in the fresh air, and a stroll around the pond/labyrinth.

Around 4 pm, we’ll arrive at our slumber party headquarters, find our rooms, and settle in.

From 5–7 pm, we’ll dive into Ice Dye Art Making (Part 1) with a special guest artist, Lorie, of Transformed & Renewed Dye Co. You’ll bring one item you’d love to dye (something cotton, linen, or rayon) and be guided through this incredibly beautiful, intuitive process so your piece feels truly personal and one-of-a-kind.

Dinner will be served by our private chef around 7:30 pm, followed by games, hot tea, and a relaxing close to our first night.


Thursday | Float + Reveal + Deep Rest

Coffee, tea, and fruit will be available whenever you wake up. We’ll start our day together with yoga on the deck from 9–10 am, followed by brunch around 10:30 am.

At 12–1 pm, we’ll experience a floating sound bath in the pool, with Cherie joining us to offer soothing vibrations as we float and absorb the ripple effects. Prepare to float away and reset with this incredible experience.

After drying off, you’ll have free time to nap, journal, swim, read, wander, or do absolutely nothing.

A light lunch will be served around 2:30 pm.

From 5–6:45 pm, we’ll gather for Ice Dye Art Making (Part 2): The Reveal! as our guest artist returns to help us unveil our masterpieces.

We'll enjoy dinner around 7 pm, followed by Yoga Nidra at 8:30 pm for a deeply nourishing close to the day.


Friday | The end

Optional sunrise yoga from 7-8 am. 
Breakfast around 8:30 am.
Then we'll pack up our fun and say farewell by 10 am.

This staycation is about remembering how good it feels to play. About making something with your hands. About resting without earning it.
