Find Your Path through Mindful Outdoor Experiences and Forest Bathing
Slow down…breathe deep…take in the natural world around you…
Find your calm and peace with the research-based practice of forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku as it is known in Japan. During these sessions, you will be guided as you slow down and use all your senses to connect with the natural world. Cultivate a deep connection with nature and reconnect to your heart and true self. This practice has many health benefits including the reduction of stress hormones, reduced blood pressure and heart rate, and an increase in cognitive functioning, creativity, feelings of relaxation, and overall happiness.

New Moon Women's Circle
Join us as we bring back this sacred gathering of women. We come together from all paths to connect with a community of women for:
-
mediation
-
sharing from the heart
-
intention setting under the New Moon
-
connecting with community
Come back in alignment with your true nature, values, and your own wild, wild heart. The sacred circle is a non-judgmental, safe space to share our ups and downs, smooth and rocky points, and what grounds us (roots) and what helps us soar (wings). These circles are part of an international network of circles via The Wild Woman Project www.thewildwomanproject.com. We welcome all women, including our trans sisters.
New Moon Circles are held in person once a month at the Lion & Lotus Center, Ellington, CT on the Sunday closest to the New Moon at 2:00 p.m.:
