Forest bathing, or "Shinrin-yoku," is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in a forest environment to enhance well-being. It encourages individuals to engage with nature using all their senses—sight, sound, smell, touch, and even taste.

The practice helps reduce stress, improve mood, boost immunity, and enhance overall mental and physical health. It encourages a deep sense of connection to the natural world, promoting mindfulness and relaxation.

What to Expect:

We’ll begin by setting our intentions and introducing ourselves, followed by a guided meditation to connect with nature and awaken our senses. This will help us relax our minds and release the day’s events before we start our journey together. Next, we’ll take a slow, intentional walk through the forest (approximately 45 minutes and 1 mile), letting our intuition guide us along the way. We’ll pause for a 30-minute guided self-reflection at a chosen tree spot. Finally, we’ll conclude with a sharing session, offering a chance to learn from each other’s experiences and share our own.

A Gratitude Walk is a mindful, peaceful journey through nature designed to help you slow down, reflect, and cultivate appreciation for the present moment. As you walk, you’ll be guided to focus on the simple beauty around you—whether it's the sound of birds singing, the feel of the earth beneath your feet, or the colors of the sky. With each step, you'll pause to acknowledge the things in your life that you’re grateful for, grounding yourself in feelings of abundance, peace, and connection. This walk is not just about movement but about fostering a sense of deep gratitude and presence in your body and surroundings. Perfect for anyone seeking clarity, joy, and a moment to reconnect with what truly matters.

WHAT TO EXPECT: A mindful, intentional walking meditation (forest bath), with pauses for guided teachings inspired by nature’s elements, includes a heart-opening cacao ceremony and a sharing circle by the Sandy River. The experience concludes with a water blessing and an opportunity to foster community and let your inner child play in nature.

My intention is to create a new experience that guides you through the forest, tapping into the core teachings these lands provide; health & calmness, happiness & joy, gratitude & reciprocity, awareness & connectedness.

TAKE HOME: Simple daily practices, rituals, and new copings tools. You may feel lighter, more at peace with yourself, connected to earth and your heart, and have a new perspective about nature. Also, a handmade nature gift to remind us of all the teachings we learned throughout this experience.

Are you craving peace, compassion, and community? Having difficulty expressing your feelings and emotions or tapping into your heart? Needing a safe container to connect? This cacao circle is designed to open our hearts, connect with ourselves and each other, sharing your experience in a safe way, practice meditation & mindfulness, and express gratitude and love.

WHAT IS CACAO: Cacao, the purest form of Chocolate, is a beverage made from the bean of Theobroma tree fruit. Also called “Food of the Gods” due to its powerful benefits to the mind and body. Cacao is a true superfood, containing antioxidants and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, fiber, and protein. Cacao’s benefits range from improving cognitive function, enhances performance, boosts mood, and improves cardiovascular health. It is a sister bean of caffeine, so it is a stimulate but does not have the crash like coffee does.

WHAT TO EXPECT: We start with a simple grounding body scan meditation and introductions. As I serve the first cup of cacao, we sit in stillness and reflect on what is happing in our minds and bodies. Our second cup will open us up for a sharing circle to witness relatability and connectedness. There will be interwoven teachings throughout the circle and end with a guided relaxing meditation.

My intention is to create an open container to explore our feelings in a group setting, listen and honor the medicine and spirit of cacao.

TAKE HOME: Simple daily practices, rituals, and new copings tools. You may feel lighter, more at peace with yourself, connected to each other and yourself and have a new perspective about your heart. Also, a handmade nature gift to remind us of all the teachings we learned throughout this experience.

It is a sister bean of caffeine, so it is a stimulate but does not have the crash like coffee does.

WHAT TO EXPECT: We start with a simple grounding body scan meditation and introductions. As I serve the first cup of cacao, we sit in stillness and reflect on what is happing in our minds and bodies. Our second cup will open us up for a sharing circle to witness relatability and connectedness. There will be interwoven teachings throughout the circle and end with a guided relaxing meditation.

My intention is to create a safe container to explore our feelings in a group setting, listen and honor the medicine and spirit of cacao and look inside our hearts by experiencing a guided mediation.

TAKE HOME: Simple daily practices, rituals, and new copings tools. You may feel lighter, more at peace with yourself, connected to each other and yourself and have a new perspective about your heart. Also, a handmade nature gift to remind us of all the teachings we learned throughout this experience.

Are you craving peace, compassion, and community? Having difficulty expressing your feelings and emotions or tapping into your heart? Needing a safe container to connect? This cacao circle is designed to open our hearts, connect with ourselves and each other, sharing your experience in a safe way, practice meditation & mindfulness, and express gratitude and love.

WHAT IS CACAO: Cacao is a beverage made from the bean of Theobroma tree fruit. Also called “Food of the Gods” due to its powerful benefits to the mind and body. Cacao is a true superfood, containing antioxidants and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, fiber, and protein. Cacao’s benefits range from improving cognitive function, enhances performance, boosts mood, and improves cardiovascular health. It is a sister bean of caffeine, so it is a stimulate but does not have the crash like coffee does.

Come join me and my soul sister, Marisa La Fata with Soul Alchemy for her monthly Sisters of the Moon Women’s Circle. She gathers every month for community, ritual, and magic. This month I will be serving a special ceremonial cacao, which will help connect us to our hearts and each other.

WHAT IS CACAO: Cacao is a beverage made from the bean of Theobroma tree fruit. Also called “Food of the Gods” due to its powerful benefits to the mind and body. Cacao is a true superfood, containing antioxidants and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, fiber, and protein. Cacao’s benefits range from improving cognitive function, enhances performance, boosts mood, and improves cardiovascular health. It is a sister bean of caffeine, so it is a stimulate but does not have the crash like coffee does.

Our intention is to create a safe container for women to explore our feelings in a group setting, listen and honor the medicine and spirit of cacao and look inside our hearts by experiencing a guided shamanic mediation by Marisa.

TAKE HOME: Simple daily practices, rituals, and new copings tools. You may feel lighter, more at peace with yourself, connected to each other and yourself and have a new perspective about your heart.
