"I've been here many times.
Over and over I keep coming back,
making my pilgrimage back to this place,
where my mind stops making so much noise."
~ Scott Stillman, from "Wilderness"
My summer offerings focus on deepening your connection with nature and with yourself. Take a step away from your daily stress... and follow me into the forest.

Nature is magical.
Do you remember being a child, spending your summer days outside? Fascinated with the trees, the grass, the plants, the dirt, even the bugs.
We'll combine the magic of being out in the forest with gentle Mindfulness prompts to encourage you to reconnect with the wild world around you. To slow down, and maybe find that place where your "mind stops making so much noise."
We'll also talk a bit about the Celtic celebration of Beltane (May Day), and how both Ayurvedic and Celtic wisdom can further deepen your connection with nature.

In springtime, we often notice sluggishness, lack of motivation, excess mucus, heaviness in the mind and body, and excessive sleepiness. These are all signs of excess Kapha energy in your mind and body, according to Ayurveda.
Adding fresh sprouts to your meals bring a sense of lightness, deep nourishment, and a subtle crunch that helps to clear stagnant Kapha energy out of your system.
In this class, you'll learn why we crave sprouts and spring greens this time of year, and I'll show you how to grow sprouts at home on your windowsill. You’ll leave with a covered glass container full of germinating sprouts, along with a stash of extra seeds for your next few round of sprouts!

Why Do We Cleanse?
Your body and mind love an occasional reset, ideally twice each year in autumn and spring. And often you'll find yourself shedding some of the winter weight during a spring cleanse, as your body and mind shift from the hibernation of winter to the fresh energy of spring.
