About this Event
Do you ever feel like life is moving too fast—like you’re constantly rushing from one thing to the next, with no time to pause, breathe, or just be? Maybe you’ve been so caught up in keeping up that slowing down doesn’t even feel possible anymore.
This journey offers a gently paced, immersive experience designed to bring you fully into the present moment. Stepping away from the busyness of daily life and into the quiet serenity of Reflection Riding’s diverse forests, you'll be invited to deepen your connection with both yourself and the living Earth—cultivating a more meaningful relationship with the natural world all around you.
As birdsong serenades your nervous system and the lush greens wrap you tenderly in their quiet embrace, you’ll be guided by a trained ecotherapist through restorative practices such as silent sensory walks, reciprocal engagement with nature, nature journaling, gratitude practices, reflective dialogue, and much more. This workshop will instill a sense of calmness, presence, and belonging that can sometimes be hard to find in the business of day-to-day life.
You don’t need experience in meditation or time spent in the woods—just a willingness to take a break from the noise and find your way back to center.
Come as you are. Leave feeling more connected, more calm, and more you.
