A Family Journey into Nature & Mindfulness

June 21, 2025 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Program Price: $65.00 – Lunch NOT Included

Creative Expression, On Land Retreats, The Natural World, Yoga & Wellness

Program Start Date & Time: June 21st  |  10:00 am

Program End Date & Time: June 21st  |  2:00 pm

A Family Journey into Nature, Connection, and Mindfulness

Step into the heart of nature and into deeper connection over the Solstice weekend— with yourself, your family, and the earth. This is a conscious gathering designed for families to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the beauty of presence together in such a fast paced world.

Through our journey into nature together, we will experience community yoga, self-regulation tools, and nature-based mindfulness practices. Expressive art activities will offer a creative outlet for self-expression while building communication skills. This experience will incorporate a sound bath towards the end to gently guide everyone into a space of deep rest, integration, and harmony.

This workshop is an invitation to:

  1. Reconnect with nature as a source of wisdom and healing
  2. Develop tools for emotional regulation and mindfulness
  3. Share meaningful moments of stillness, joy, creativity, and movement as a family
  4. Explore expressive arts as a way to process, communicate, and connect
  5. Experience the soothing power of sound to restore balance and presence

Open to all ages and all levels — come as you are and leave feeling more rooted, radiant, and whole as a family.

Packing list:

1. Packed lunches, we will be having a forest picnic for lunch time!

2. Make sure that all participants have a hat or sunscreen applied

3. Full water bottles

4. Yoga mats or blanket
