**What will we be doing? **
1--✨ **Polyvagal co-regulation with nature** to establish a *felt sense of inner peace and safety*
Gently supporting your nervous system to come out of survival states and into safety—through the neuroceptive cues of wind, birdsong, trees, and presence. When the body feels safe, healing unfolds organically.
2---✨ **Chi Gong with the healing herd (cows, goats, horses!!!!)
** to establish *empowerment, agency, and healing*
Moving with trauma informed healing practices, while in relationship with animals who naturally embody grounded regulation, attunement, and authenticity.
✨ **Ecotherapy with an Internal Family Systems lens ** focused on *belonging*
Meeting the parts of you that have felt exiled, unseen, or protective—while held in a wider field of presence and connection. The forest becomes a co-facilitator in restoring wholeness.
✨ **Community integrations**
Because healing is not meant to happen in isolation. We gather, reflect, and anchor insights into real life—so transformation becomes sustainable, embodied, and relational.
All of this is part of the **12:00–4:00 workshop.**
Attend just the workshop.
Or come to just the fire and potluck.
✨ **We hope you come for the whole nourishing, healing, empowering day.**

This work is rooted in a **Multi-Modality Ecopsychology approach to healing**— integration of body, nervous system, psyche, community, and the more-than-human world. Through many empirical studies we know nature is not just a backdrop—it is an *active participant* in your healing. The land, the animals, the elements… they help regulate, mirror, and restore what has always been whole within you.
🌿 **Come reconnect with the land, the animals, and the deeper belonging within yourself.** 💚
