The Interbeing 09 campout co-creative retreat is coming up quick, still a few open spots; all are welcome! Feel free to message for us for more details… We contribute to these events from a philosophy of personal awakening and development within a context of “progress, not perfection” – an attempt to meet people wherever they are on their journey, and an acknowledgement that each step along that path is necessary and can be offered spaciousness.
Our events and retreats give participants an opportunity to slow down, shift from your everyday routine, and re-focus your attention toward yourself in relation to community. In contrast to the vast majority of wellness events, ours are a more interactive experience: rather than solely absorbing what we and our guest facilitators offer, participants are invited to contribute their own insights and unique gifts, thereby co-creating a more richly nuanced and memorable experience for everyone.
One of our foundational beliefs is that when we come together to immerse ourselves in shared authenticity, a deep wisdom may be accessed; one which emanates not from any particular individual, but arises from the center of the circle: the point of intersection which joins each perspective and coalesces into something greater than, and more true than, any individual would be capable of on our own. We don’t come with any answers or prescriptions for how to best navigate these complicated times, but we are honored to hold space for the conversation to unfold.…

:: there’s a sacred, transformative place that arises at the nexus of you, me, nature, and the art that we create together. It invites us in, welcomes us into community, and shows us that we are never truly alone. In just under two weeks, Interbeing 09: New Moon • • • Fruition will be the container where that place will once again bloom and flourish. Are you ready?

We are all interconnected. By taking care of another person, you take care of yourself. By taking care of yourself, you take care of the other person. Happiness and safety are not individual matters. If you suffer, I suffer. If you are not safe, I am not safe. There is no way for me to be truly happy if you are suffering. If you can smile, I can smile too. The understanding of interbeing is very important. It helps us to remove the illusion of loneliness, and transform the anger that comes from the feeling of separation.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Silvae Spiritus - ˈsil vaɪ ˈspɪrɪtʊs || Latin, “the breathing of the forest” ||

We provide guided Nature and Forest Therapy walks – deeply immersive experiences that invite you to fully engage all of your senses in the naturally restorative and healing environment. Designed to refresh, renew, and revitalize, our walks are crafted as an antidote to the pace and distraction of modern life; an opportunity to slow down, unplug from technology, and allow Nature to invigorate our immune and cardiovascular systems, bring a sense of grounded equilibrium to our mental health, and reintroduce us to our place in the ever-changing world. Inspired by the Japanese art & science of Shinrin-Yoku (a research-based practice translating as ‘Forest Bathing’ or ‘taking in the forest with all of one’s senses’), which seeks to explore the physiological, cognitive, and emotional benefits gained through time spent in this manner - our approach integrates the scientific insights gained over nearly 40 years of rigorous Japanese government-sanctioned study, ancient wild-tending methods practiced for millennia by indigenous peoples worldwide, and our certification through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs. Come walk with us; all are welcome here.
