Workshops

I create these experiences carefully, with focus on the trees available so that the energy of these trees helps amplify the connection we are seeking in the gathering.

​

Renewal in the Trees

Bring your longing- emotional or physical- to the trees for an energy shift and perhaps direct answers. We will start with a workshop introduction, each choose a Tree Transformation Card, and walk to the beech trees for qigong and to experience beeches' support and intelligence, then on to a remarkable group of trees including Chinese white pine, dawn redwood, Japanese red pine, gingko, and others. These trees offer wisdom, courage, new beginnings, connection with our buddha nature, and more. We will move to different trees as they call to us and experience the transformation offered. Bring a journal or phone memo for the option to record what you receive. 

Meeting Forest and Trees

Forest Bathing is a full sensory immersion in the magic of the woods. Meeting Trees is a personal connection with trees that “call” to you. When you learn to meet trees your perspective shifts and a joyful, heartfelt relationship emerges. This is a slow meditative walk through the gentle and jaw droppingly alive Sitka forest. It interweaves sensory exercises, qigong, and a keen attention on presence to connect with your trees.  We will use the Tree Transformation Cards to go deeper. This walk is very transformative, prompting an easy release of energetic limitations and natural opening to personal insight and guidance. Bring your journal and be ready for a heart-opening, soul reviving day!

​

A revitalizing Mini-Retreat in the forest. Walk through the woods, listening and being guided to connect and invited to let go. Move with body opening gentle Qigong and invite in the spirits of the plants, mountains, earth, creek and Lily Pond. Let yourself immerse in the joy of it- like a few treasured hours in the spa.

How to Meet a Tree

 Connect with the energy of different tree species. This is a "how to" workshop. We will use the Tree Transformation Cards and Qigong to tune-in and move from our busy lives to engaging our senses, then stepping into presence and curiosity. The workshop includes instruction and hands on help. We will meet three different species starting with beech. It is thrilling to connect with a tree for the first or 100th time. Their energy is constant and pure, and you will come to experience that trees are aware of us, just like they are aware of the bugs, birds, wind, and other trees in their environment. Your take-away is tips on connecting with trees and skills to go forward and enjoy.

  

Tree Transformation Card Readings

​Beech trees are especially compassionate and offer support like a trustworthy friend.​

Settle into the beech grow for an early fall Tree Transformation Oracle Card reading. We will go over the many levels available for reading the Tree Cards. Your reading can focus on an area of concern, or you can simply open to guidance and receive your messages. The Tree Cards are an uncannily accurate oracle as well as a great connection with the tree species. There will be time for meeting the trees around you. Bring a journal for your insights.

Into the Trees: Mini Vision-Quest

What are Trees Thinking?

What are Trees Thinking in the Spring?

​

A series of workshops that can be taken individually or as a series. Each workshop will focus on the history, lore, and how to connect with the energy of three trees on a walk in the Arboretum. Think of trees as ancestors, friends, and allies that offer connection with the world beyond our limited human form. These workshops will enable us to remember ancient ways of being with trees.
