Special Events
Gratitude can be a daily practice.
Nature’s Display of Gratitude invites us to see and enjoy the bounty provided; nourishing our bodies through the quiet wisdom of the season. Just as the trees do not resist shedding their leaves, autumn invites us to let go of what no longer serves our growth with grace and ease. It reminds us that turning inward is not a withdrawal, but a necessary gathering of energy and a celebration of the harvest we have cultivated within ourselves throughout the year.
Join forest bathing guide Heidi Camp for a gentle, sensory experience in nature. Through mindful walking, stillness, observation, and simple invitations to connect with the forest, you’ll make space to notice the both beautiful and decaying world around you—and the graciously accepting landscape within.
Nature’s Display of Gratitude: A Guided Forest Bath + Tea Ceremony
Gratitude is a daily opportunity.
The forest displays its gratitude for life daily. The vibrant colors dare to put on the finest show of life in the autumnal season, preparing to go inward—a mirror for us to prepare for the season ahead. It is an invitation to look at our own inner landscape and rest in the beauty of who we are, reflecting on our good work and releasing what is ready to move on.

The Nature of Change: A Guided Forest Bath + Tea Ceremony
Change is part of being alive.
The forest knows this intimately. Trees release what they can no longer hold. Leaves emerge, flourish, and fall. Light shifts. Landscapes evolve. What appears still is quietly changing all the time.
We move through seasons like these, too.
Some are chosen. Some arrive unexpectedly. Some ask us to let go. Others invite us into something we cannot yet see.
The Nature of Change is an invitation to slow down and spend time with the living landscape as a reflection of our own lives.

Sarah Simon will close our time together with a shared tea ceremony, creating a warm and contemplative space to gather, integrate, and receive.
Tea carries its own story of transformation. Leaves change through planting, tending, harvesting, aging, and finally meeting water.
Perhaps this season is one of beginning. Perhaps it is one of releasing, grieving, becoming, resting, or simply learning to be where you are. Whatever season you are in, you are welcome here.
No previous experience with forest bathing or tea ceremony is needed. We will meet rain or shine - please come dressed for the weather.
