Awaken in the Wild: A Nature Healing Journey
Advertisement
Together, weβll take a gentle, intentional walk through the serene trails of Pinnacle Parkβa lush cove forest nourished by two pristine creeks and home to native medicinal plants and trees. This soul-nourishing day will weave together:
π Guided Nature Walk with Dave Collins
Move slowly and intentionally through the forest as we explore local ecology, edible plants, and native medicinal flora. Learn from the land with curiosity and awe.
π² Qigong Flow in the Forest with Marga Fripp
Awaken and align your life-force energy through a gentle, healing Qigong practice, grounded in the natural rhythms of trees, wind, and flowing water.
πΈ Nature Mandala Creation
Enter meditative play by gathering natural materials along the trail to co-create a seasonal Earth mandalaβan offering of beauty, presence, and gratitude.
π Forest & Sound Bathing
Rest deeply in the arms of the forest, accompanied by the gentle resonance of flute, chimes, and sacred tones that nourish body, mind, and spirit.
π₯ Picnic by the Creek
Bring a nourishing lunch or snack to enjoy in community beside the pure mountain waters. Time for connection, reflection, and heartfelt conversation.
