We’re getting close to summer now, and I’ve been feeling that shift, have you? ☀️ It's still light outside late into the evening, the temps are starting to creep up (and the humidity 🥵), the calendar is feeling full with so much fun summer stuff to do (anyone been to Shakespeare in the park yet? 🎭) and my energy is starting to rise. It feels so easy to just roll right into the busyness of summer without ever really even noticing the threshold we’re crossing. That’s part of why I'm hosting Summer Threshold Forest Bathing + Nature Therapy on Saturday, June 13. I wanted to offer something that feels like a pause before summer really takes off. A chance to slow down, take a breath, and fully arrive in the season with a little more intentionally instead of just getting swept up in it. I won’t be hosting anything on Solstice this year, so if you’re craving a quieter way to mark the shift into summer, I’d love for you to join me in the peaceful woods of The Nature Institute. I'll share some special ways to celebrate the Solstice next week but for now, here's a simple invitation to bring you into the moment as we approach the transition. 🌿 This Week’s Nature Connection Invitation: Sit With Summer ComingFind a place to sit outside for a few minutes and notice what tells you summer is on its way. Maybe it’s the smell in the air, the heat on your skin, the sound of insects, the fullness of the trees, or the later light in the evening. Reflection: If you’re feeling the pull to slow down and really arrive in summer, I’d love to invite you to join me for: Summer Threshold Forest Bathing Experience at The Nature InstituteSaturday, June 13 - 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM – The Missouri Botanical Gardens As we move toward the Summer Solstice, the days stretch long and full, light lingering well into the evening. This time of year carries the invitation to expand a little… to follow what feels alive… and to notice where energy is naturally building in your life. This guided Forest Bathing walk is a chance to step into that rhythm with intention. Together, we’ll slow down, settle into the landscape, and attune to the fullness of early summer, lush greens, warm air, and the buzz of nature’s bloom into summer.
Things I've Learned Watching People Sit Under the Trees.Wednesday, June 10th I'll one of the presenters at PechaKucha Night St. Louis. I’ll be sharing some of what I’ve learned after guiding hundreds of hours of Forest Bathing and Nature Therapy walks (😳). It’ll be a chance to hear some of the real patterns I’ve noticed watching people soften, settle, and reconnect with themselves in nature. If you're not familiar with this presentation (I wasn't either) see the description below. There are several other presenters and it seems like a lot of them are also nature related, you can learn more on my website. No registration to attend so just come out to Urban Chestnut Brewing Co in the Grove, Wednesday night, June 10th and check it out! Coming in July!I'm so excited to be partnering with Flow State Holistic Health in July for a FAMILY Forest Bathing Session! Details are still coming together but if you want to be notified when registration opens be sure to get on the notification list! I get asked about this a lot so it's sure to sell out quickly. Whether you come out Wednesday night, join me for an event soon, or just take a few quieter moments outside this week, I hope nature offers you a little more peace and presence this week 🕊️!
