Forest Healing Mini-Retreat at Cedar Falls

Saturday, July 20th from 8 am – 11 am

Join Master Nutrition Therapist and Yoga Teacher Jessica Lee Reader and Plant Medicine Facilitator, Intuitive Guide, and Empowerment Coach Veronica Young with Forest Connections for a healing three-hour outdoor well-being experience amidst the serene beauty of nature at the peak of summer.
This immersive retreat is designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit through a harmonious blend of gentle yoga, meditation, a cacao ceremony, fresh hydrating summer fruit, iced herbal tea, and a forest bathing journey to a river and peaceful waterfalls.

Tranquil Yoga and Meditation: Begin with gentle yoga to connect with nature through mindful movements and stretches. Guided meditation will deepen your relaxation and awareness, fostering harmony between body, mind, spirit, and nature. Refresh yourself after yoga with a cool washcloth infused with citrus scents.

Cacao Ceremony: Experience a heart-opening ceremony with ceremonial-grade cacao, promoting emotional healing and spiritual connection as you connect with your heart and tune into nature.

Forest Bathing Experience: Immerse yourself in the healing embrace of the forest with mindful walking and sensory exercises, and explore a serene waterfall to soak in its soothing sights and sounds.

Integration Session with Hydrating Summer Snacks: Conclude the morning with mouthwatering fresh summer fruit and iced herbal tea to hydrate you as you connect and reflect with the group, allowing you to internalize the day’s insights and prepare for a rejuvenating journey home.
