2025 Workshops

Foraging & Crafting Tea and Tinctures Workshop

Women & Daughters Gathering in the Way of the Hive

Join us for a hands-on workshop where the land itself becomes both teacher and apothecary. Together, we’ll wander the land and woods to forage wild plants growing right here, learning how to identify, harvest, and honor them with care. Along the way, you’ll discover the traditional wisdom and healing properties of these local herbs.

After our walk, we’ll gather to craft teas and tinctures—transforming fresh and dried plants into nourishing blends you can take home. You’ll learn the simple steps of preparing herbal remedies, from steeping and drying to extracting plant medicine into liquid form.

What you’ll experience:

  • Guided plant identification and ethical foraging practices
  • Hands-on creation of your own tea blend and tincture
  • Understanding the uses and benefits of local herbs
  • Connection to the rhythms of the land and the wisdom of plants

This workshop is a celebration of slowing down, reconnecting with the earth, and carrying home not only your crafted remedies, but also the knowledge to continue this practice in your daily life.

Women & Daughters Gathering in the Way of the Hive

Women & Daughters Gathering in the Way of the Hive

Deep within the woods, where the whisper of the trees and the heartbeat of Mother Earth remind us of the wisdom carried by our ancestors, we will gather in circle. Here, surrounded by the sacred embrace of nature, we remember the lessons of the hive—the feminine divine community where every being thrives not through competition, but through connection, harmony, and support. 

As women and daughters, this is where we come together to weave a new story. One where our girls learn early on that their strength is magnified in sisterhood. One where they see that each voice, each gift, each presence is valued and needed—just as in the hive, no bee is less important than another. In this sacred ceremony, a symbolic hive will be present with us, a reminder of the feminine energy that pulses through all of creation.

We will honor our ancestors who once gathered in this same way—under the moonlight, in the woods, in reverence to the cycles of life. We will breathe in the lessons of the Earth beneath our feet, and we will teach our daughters how to rise together, how to celebrate one another’s light, and how to embody the truth that community is the antidote to rivalry. 

This is not simply a gathering—it is a remembering. A call to return to the wisdom of the hive, to the support of the feminine, to the joy of lifting each other higher. Together, we create a legacy where our daughters learn that belonging and love are their birthrights.

Wandering the Woods & Sound Bowl Circle for Children

Children are invited to step into the magic of the forest, where curiosity and wonder guide the way. Together, we’ll wander the woods—listening to birdsong, touching tree bark, noticing tiny plants, and feeling the presence of Mother Nature all around us. This mindful exploration helps children slow down, ground themselves, and experience the beauty of the natural world with fresh eyes.

Our journey concludes in a calming sound bowl circle, where children rest and listen to soothing vibrations that encourage relaxation, balance, and a sense of peace. The sound waves wash over them like a gentle lullaby, creating a safe and nurturing space for reflection and calm.

This experience helps children:

  • Build a deeper connection with nature
  • Cultivate mindfulness and presence
  • Release stress and tension
  • Nurture creativity, imagination, and inner peace

A joyful blend of play, discovery, and relaxation—an offering for children to feel more connected to themselves, each other, and the Earth.

Let's Go!

A Retreat Day for Pre- Maidens

A Retreat Day for Pre- Maidens

 Across time, women have gathered under the moonlight to honor the sacred passage into maidenhood — a rite once celebrated, yet too often forgotten.

This season, we gather again.

In the heart of nature, young maidens will step into circle.

They will learn the wisdom of their cycles, woven with the moon’s rhythm & the seasons.

 They will be celebrated — not silenced — as they begin this sacred journey.

Together, we will:

 Explore the history of women’s rites of passage

 Embrace the inner seasons of the cycle

Create ritual and ceremony to release shame and welcome empowerment 

Sit in circle, surrounded by story, song, and sisterhood

This retreat is a return to ancient ways — where maidenhood is honored with reverence, love, and joy.

The Moon reminds us: transformation is powerful, natural, and worth celebrating.

If your heart is called to gift this sacred space to a girl in your life, join us in circle.

Meditation with Honeybees

Step into the fascinating world of the honeybee with this immersive, hands-on experience. Together, we’ll suit up in protective bee gear and explore the hive up close—discovering the tools beekeepers use and the incredible organization that keeps the colony thriving.
