🍂 Celebrate Nature’s Balance & Find Your Tribe 🍂

As the days and nights come into balance at the Fall Equinox, we too can find balance within—through mindful time in nature, walking in peace, and sharing community.

Join Oneness in Nature Circles – KC for our first gathering—a space to reconnect with yourself, with the Earth, and with a circle of like-hearted souls. Together, we’ll honor International Peace Day and nurture harmony for ourselves, each other, and our world.

✨ Our afternoon includes:
☮️ A Peace Walk & grounding practices
🔥 Releasing from the Hearth Ceremony to release & renew
🧘 Guided meditation & mindful nature walking
🍵 A Tea Ceremony and optional gratitude sharing

🌿 Benefits of mindful nature practice:
* Lowers blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol
* Boosts mood and supports immunity
* Improves focus, memory, and creativity
* Brings calm, clarity, and renewal

🌳 Benefits of community:
* A sense of belonging and shared purpose
* Support, compassion, and joy with others
* Inspiration to carry intentions forward

On Labor Day, Rev. Annika assisted her husband Hugh of Stillpaths with his forest bathing walk. She kept track of all the participants during the walk and facilitated the tea ceremony that completed the event. There were a few sprinkles during the walk but everyone stayed engaged with the mindful practices. Everyone enjoyed the event and expressed their appreciation for what they learned and experienced through nature.

Rev. Annika considers Louise Hay to be one of her first spiritual teachers. Highly recommend “You Can Heal Your Life”to learn about the body mind connection and affirmations to support wholeness.

Happy July!

'Today lies before you, untouched and unblemished, and it is up to you to make it the most wonderful day. Try to start the day off with inner peace and contentment by taking time to be still and allowing that peace to infil and enfold you. It is up to you to choose what today is going to be and then make it so. Why not choose now?' ~ guidance received by Eileen Caddy

Come join me as I offer “Readings from the Heart” at Unity Church of Overland Park’s Spirit Fair on Saturday May 31st from 10am - 5 pm.

Rev. Annika Klesch-Sawyer is an interfaith minister, ordained in 2008 through the James Twyman’s "Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking" in Ashland, Oregon. She opened to the call of Spirit about 25 years ago and has become a spiritual teacher and healer who assists others in opening their hearts to their own inner peace which many times brings about a transformation of a shadow energy that her clients may or may not have been conscious of. Rev. Annika uses her connection with nature and its cycles, yoga, sound vibrations, several healing modalities, prayer and ritual to create sacred space for others to remember, who they truly are. Rev. Annika also has served for over 8 years as a Senior Prayer Associate at Silent Unity (24 hour prayer ministry) and has supported many individuals, couples and families throughout the KC area as an officiant in creating special moments to celebrate milestones events.

Today is May Day! Most people think of the Maypole ritual as a way to honor this mid-Spring holiday. Nellie Levine a spiritual blogger says "what I think is important if we are to celebrate Beltane ( the name of the Celtic festival celebrated this day) today is that essential message of taking a deep breath of fresh spring air, embracing the renewed life of warmer seasons, purifying ourselves of our past troubles, and looking with openness to the growth ahead." So get outside and connect with what is happening in the natural world. Be inspired and be open to what is blooming in your life!
