This immersive session invites you to slow down, tune into the rhythms of the forest, and create a nature mandala inspired by the beauty around you.
What to Expect:

You’ll immerse yourself in the forest’s sights, textures, scents, and sounds through sensory-based invitations and mindful exploration. This calming practice will help you feel grounded, present, and connected to the natural world. The session concludes with a tranquil Tea Gathering, where we’ll share reflections over seasonal snacks in good company.

Participate in nature-based invitations designed to foster relaxation and presence.

Using natural materials gathered along the way, you’ll craft a unique piece that mirrors the patterns and beauty of the forest. This meditative practice fosters creativity, invites reflection, and deepens your connection to the environment.
