Tonight’s Full Moon Forest Bathing at felt like a quiet exhale. 🕯️

In the moonlight, the English Woodland Garden seemed to breathe with us.

Eery branch, shadow, and reflection slowing to match the season’s rhythm.

I’m always in awe of what unfolds when we gather for Forest Bathing… how a group of strangers can arrive carrying the weight of the week and leave feeling somehow lighter, more connected - to the Earth, to each other, to themselves.

Under this November Beaver Moon - the one that reminds us to prepare, to tend our inner lodges before winter, I felt so much gratitude for this community and this practice.

For the laughter, the stillness, the shared noticing.

These are my final sessions of the season before I take a pause for ankle surgery, and I’m savoring every last moment outdoors 💚every breath of cool air, every glint of moonlight through bare branches.

Thank you to everyone who’s joined me this year.

What a gift it is to share this practice with you and to keep remembering, together, how deeply we belong. 🌕🍂

Every year around this time, life seems to speed up.

The calendar fills, the days feel shorter, and suddenly it’s like we’re sprinting toward the end of the year.

But the forest? It’s doing the opposite.

It’s slowing down. Letting go. Resting.

This Saturday, I’m guiding one of my final Forest Bathing walks of the season - just 40 minutes outside the city, on the quiet private trails at

It’s one of the most peaceful, beautiful places to step away and catch your breath.

We’ll move slowly through the woods, surrounded by peak fall color, and tune into what’s shifting, in the forest and in ourselves.

These walks always bring the loveliest mix of people; open-hearted, curious, and craving the same thing we all need more of: calm, connection, and presence.

If you’ve been feeling the rush of this season, consider this your invitation to pause - to turn inward with nature as your guide. 🌿

Spots are limited and my other fall events have sold out😳 don’t miss this one!

How do you sneak little moments of nature into your busy days? 🌿

I call them “nature snacks”.

Tiny doses of calm that keep me grounded.

Share your favorite nature snack in the comments, I’d love to try it!

Full Moon Forest Bathing at the Garden

Wednesday, November 5th | Missouri Botanical Garden
5:30pm - 7:30pm

If you’ve never experienced the garden after hours, bathed in full moonlight, this is your chance. ✨

Our Harvest Moon walk on Monday was absolutely magnificent. The way the moon light touched every branch, the cool evening air, and sounds of the night - it was pure magic. 

I’m leading one more Full Moon Forest Bathing walk at this year, under November’s moon.

This isn’t a hike or tour of the garden. 

It’s a slow, sensory immersion. 

A chance to tune into your senses, notice the soft colors of late autumn, and let your mind and body unwind before the holiday rush begins.

What to Expect:

A quiet, slow and spacious after-hours walk under November’s full moon

Invitations to engage your senses, connect with nature, and find calm

Reflection, connection, and rest before the season shifts

This will be my final Forest Bathing walk of 2025 at the Missouri Botanical Garden - so if you’ve been wanting to experience this now is the time!

🌝 Space is limited, and these full moon evenings tend to fill quickly.

I’ve been doing Drawtober with my son since he was little.

It’s one of our favorite autumn traditions. 🍂

Every year we make a list of simple daily drawing prompts (pumpkins, candy, night sky…), grab a notebook, and spend a few minutes sketching together each day in October.

Nothing fancy.

No pressure to be an artist.

Just time to slow down and notice the season.

This year, I made a nature-inspired version to share with you - 31 days of autumn drawing prompts to help you pause, play, and reconnect with the beauty right outside your door.

Print it, post it on your fridge, and take a few minutes each day to draw what you notice. Or do it with your kids, a friend, or anyone who could use a little seasonal slowing-down.

🍁 You can download it free - just comment DRAWTOBER or DM me and I’ll send you the link to download.

And if you want to take this practice deeper, I also created a 31-Day Digital Journal that pairs each drawing prompt with a gentle reflection question.

A simple way to notice not just what’s around you, but what’s shifting within you too. ✨

You can learn about on the free download page.

One of my favorite things about autumn is collecting and curating the perfect collection of nature treasures! Is it just me? Am I the only one who comes home with pockets full of acorns, leafs and sticks? What’s your favorite thing about fall?
