It was a perfect day to be guiding a private Forest Bathing experience in New Canaan’s magnificent Waveny Park. Forest Bathing is more than a walking meditation – it involves deep connection with nature through the activation of all the senses. Grounded Meditation is now offering private Forest Bathing sessions; contact us for details!

Let’s stop running and practice stopping on a glorious Fall weekend filled with carefully curated experiences, designed to promote inner peace, deep calm, and personal growth.
Step out of your usual routine and into a world of quiet transformation- a weekend spent with like-minded women, nurturing your body mind, and spirit. In an environment of love and acceptance, we will:

🔥 Symbolically let go of that which no longer serves us in a releasing fire ritual.
💕 Reconnect with yourself through a heart-opening Cacao ceremony and guided loving-kindness meditation.
😌 Allow yourself to de-stress through guided meditations and sound healing practices.
🌲Deeply connect with nature during a meditative forest bathing walk.
🐴🐐 Gently interact with rescued on-site farm animals during an equine mindfulness circle and playful goat yoga session.
🥗 Fuel your body with nutritious season-appropriate meals prepared by our on-site gourmet Ayurvedic chef.
📓 Enjoy quiet time to journal, rest, read, or do whatever you want!

Learning to stop never looked so good! DM us for more information or check our Retreat Page through the link in our bio. Don’t miss this special opportunity to let go and let yourself grow.!

About Us

Diane Nickelberg-Barnett is the founder of Grounded Meditation and a successful NYC Real Estate attorney who realized years ago that she needed something to help balance the stress and chaos of her busy and demanding career. A lifelong interest in health, fitness and spirituality drew her into the world of meditation and yoga where she found that these peaceful practices served to counteract the constant stress of practicing law. Her passion for these disciplines, paired with the desire to help others, has naturally led her to teaching, and she feels honored and blessed to be in a position to help her students find balance and quiet in their own lives. Diane has been teaching for about ten years and has been fortunate to be able to share her knowledge with students in both the private and corporate world.

Grounded Meditation is the culmination of years of work with students from all backgrounds and Diane’s realization that what appears to be consistently missing from nearly everybody’s life is the ability to just STOP and be present, alone and peaceful with one’s self, even for short periods of time. Diane’s user-friendly approach to meditation teaches her students to do just that – quiet their minds, embrace the stillness, and enjoy the many benefits of meditation which have been medically proven and scientifically documented.

Diane is a graduate of Cornell University and CUNY School of Law, and holds multiple certifications in teaching meditation and yoga. She has taught private and group classes in studios and businesses to students of all ages and levels in New York City and Connecticut.
