Presenters

Rebekah Abrahim

Rebekah Abrahim is a divorced mother, singer, writer, massage therapist, and now a published author and filmmaker based in San Diego. She never planned to write—what started as a small act of revenge turned into storytelling. After years of being silenced in her marriage, she reclaimed her power by doing the very things she was criticized for: writing a cookbook because her husband hated her cooking, and writing a film because she experienced miscarriage—but wasn’t allowed to mourn it out loud.

Her debut short film Still—a raw, beautiful exploration of infant loss—has already been praised by Emmy-winning filmmakers and producers. Her high-protein cookbook, written with care and clarity, is helping others nourish themselves with joy. Rebekah’s work is rooted in truth, healing, and the radical act of using your voice after being told to quiet down.

Title of Talk: The Words I Was Meant To Say

Description of Talk: What happens when you lose your voice in a relationship, in motherhood, or even in your own mind? In this raw and reflective session, Rebekah Abrahim shares how silence shaped her—and how writing set her free. From years of shrinking herself to fit other people’s expectations to finding the courage to create Still, a powerful short film about infant loss, Rebekah explores what it means to reconnect with your voice after trauma. This isn’t just about speaking up—it’s about reclaiming the parts of yourself you were told to hide.

Attendees will walk away inspired to:

• Recognize the ways disconnection shows up in our lives
• Reclaim their voice through creative expression
• Let go of shame and start telling the truth of their story

This is not a lecture. It’s a homecoming.

Title of Talk: The Art of Aliveness: Liberating Your Creativity as a Channel for Life Force

Description of Talk: In this playful and soulful session, we’ll explore connecting to our creativity as life force, a sacred current of liberation, expression, and manifestation. You’ll be invited to reconnect with your creative energy as a wellspring of pleasure, purpose, and possibility - a vibrant force running through you, revealing your truth, and guiding your path forward.

Together, we’ll explore why creativity gets blocked (perfectionism, fear, limiting beliefs), and how to gently free it through somatic tools, soul writing, and intuitive creative practices. You’ll learn how to set sacred space for creativity, how to release judgment around being an “artist,” and how your creative expression is deeply tied to your pleasure, your voice, your vitality - and your soul’s unfolding.

Bring a journal and some colors if you feel inspired, as we’ll be engaging our creativity in real-time through embodied and expressive exercises designed to awaken your inner muse.

Looking forward to activate in this space with you and connect with the art of aliveness!
