Autumn Sanctuary: Nature Wellbeing Retreat
About this Event
Autumn Sanctuary: A One-Day Wellbeing Retreat with Nature
Pause. Breathe. Reconnect. Step into the season ahead with intention.
As Thanksgiving approaches and the holiday season begins to gather momentum, give yourself the gift of a day to slow down, reconnect with nature, and care for your whole self.
Autumn Sanctuary is a restorative one-day retreat designed to help you step away from the busyness of everyday life and create space for mindfulness, self-care, reflection, and wellbeing. Through guided experiences in nature, you'll have an opportunity to breathe deeply, move your body, awaken your senses, and consider what you want to carry forward into the months ahead.
What to Expect:
Forest Bathing
Slow down and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of nature through a gentle, guided sensory experience.
Mindful Hiking
Explore the outdoors at an intentional pace, with opportunities to notice, reflect, and reconnect with your body and the natural world.
Nature Crafting
Eenjoying the calming, restorative benefits of hands-on creativity with nature and wellbeing themes.
Your Personalized Nature-Based Wellbeing Plan
Discover simple ways to bring nature, mindfulness, and restorative practices into your everyday life. You'll leave with a personalized plan designed around your own needs, interests, and hopes for the season ahead.
Seasonal Reflection
Pause at the turning of the season to reflect on what you've experienced, what you're grateful for, what you're ready to release, and what you'd like to nurture moving forward.
**Bring your own lunch. A full kitchen is available for storage and reheating. Light snacks will be provided**
**Space is limited to allow for a meaningful mindful experience.**
A day to come back to yourself
This retreat is an invitation to trade rushing for presence, noise for stillness, and the pressure to do more for the opportunity to simply be.
Whether you're seeking a reset before the holidays, looking for meaningful ways to practice self-care, or simply longing for time outdoors, you'll find space here to rest, reflect, reconnect, and cultivate a hopeful vision for the seasons ahead.
Come as you are. Leave feeling more grounded, refreshed, and rooted in what matters most.
No previous mindfulness, hiking, or nature-based wellbeing experience is required. Just bring yourself, a willingness to slow down, and comfortable outdoor clothing.
