A Mindful Morning Nature Walk & Sound Journey: Full Moon & Gong Under the Oak

Join Shannon and Katie for a nourishing morning of nature connection, mindfulness, and sound healing beneath the ancient oak trees of Portola Valley.

We’ll begin our journey with a slow, intentional nature walk through the quiet beauty of the trees. As we walk, Shannon will guide you in forest bathing techniques to deepen your awareness and connection to the natural world. At the heart of the trail, beneath the shelter of an ancient oak tree, Katie will offer a sound meditation and gong journey to anchor and align us with the heightened energy of this potent time.

This experience is designed to align with the heightened energy of the full moon, offering a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and the earth, and receive deep rest and resonance through sound and mindfulness.
