Spring Equinox Forest Bathing & Sound Healing
Welcome the Longer Days & Warmer Nights! 🌸
Guided by Shannon and Angela.
Celebrate the Spring Equinox under the glow of the Full Moon with a soul-nourishing evening of forest bathing, soothing sound bowls, and space for reflection and renewal.
We’ll begin by grounding our energy with gentle movement and a slow, mindful walk through nature. As the sun sets and the full moon rises over the bay, we’ll settle into an open-eyed, five-senses meditation, deepening our connection to the season’s renewal.
Afterward, take a moment to reflect and journal any insights before closing the evening with a deeply restorative sound bath, leaving you feeling refreshed, aligned, and with more ease.

Winter Solstice Sunset Yoga Hike/Mini Retreat
This hike is meant to take the form of a mini-retreat allowing us to leave the regular world behind and take refuge in nature for a day.
We will start with a 2-3 mile easy hike, stopping along the way for some standing asana poses and to take in the sight, sounds and smells of mother nature. Then we will have a seated Winter Solstice celebration with meditation, reflection on the year past and intention setting for the year ahead as we watch the sunset together on the shortest day of the year.
The end of year holiday season can be pretty hectic, so join us for a few hours on December 21st to disconnect from the chaos and to reconnect with yourself, with your breath and with your community.
