Taking slow time for yourself...
Haiku Writing & Forest Bathing
Practicing Presence in Nature
Haiku poetry is rooted in observing the present moment in nature. It is an accessible way for anyone to express the beauty of the natural world. Come, slow down amongst the trees and learn this simple, yet beautiful ancient way of interacting with the natural world. You'll be guided in simple invitational ways to cultivate your curiosity and sense of wonder while we wander and write. No prior experience necessary. Session will end with a tea circle.

SUMMER SOLSTICE
Forest Bathing in Jindal Botanical Gardens
Summer Solstice honors the expansive light of the sun at the time of year where we experience maximum daylight. Through immersing in the richness of Jindai Botanical Garden's nature we will honor abundance, light, and new growth. With a guided walk you will be invited to slow down, connect to the land, and experience playfulness and curiosity with the living natural world.
The session will end with a Summer Solstice tea ritual honoring the longest day of the year. Participants will be gifted a hand-made rosemary/herb smudge-stick for their own personal solstice rituals.
Limited space; register early.
