The Autumn Within: An Afternoon of Forest, Sound & Release
🍁 The Autumn Within: An Afternoon of Forest, Sound & Release
As the equinox balances light and dark, nature invites us to slow down and turn inward. Join WINHER for an afternoon at Elmwood Cabin in Rocky River — forest bathing, a women's circle release ritual, sound bath, and mini massage, all designed to help you soften, release, and restore.
🌳 Forest Bathing Journey with Denys Morgan We'll begin with a guided forest bathing walk (Shinrin-yoku), immersing in nature and connecting with all the senses — a moving meditation shown to reduce stress and ground the body. Denys Morgan, LMT, RYT has practiced massage professionally since 1994 and was voted Best Massage Therapist by Cleveland Magazine in 1999. She studied biology in college and teaches anatomy, bringing deep anatomical knowledge to her bodywork. A yoga teacher with decades of experience — much of her training completed at ashrams in India — Denys draws on years of meditation practice to guide a mindful, embodied connection with the natural world.
🍂 Season of Change Women's Circle with Trish We'll gather in a women's circle to reflect on what has ripened this year, what's ready to be released, and honor the season's turning together — softening into clarity, and letting go not as loss, but as liberation. Each woman will receive a journal to keep, with guided prompts to reflect and write during the circle, and to carry the practice home with you. Trish Benedict brings over a decade of experience in a variety of healing modalities and specializes in creating calming, supportive spaces for others. In her sound journeys, she is a frequency weaver — channeling the resonance of sound to dissolve tension, elevate energy, and restore harmony to the body.
🎶 Transformative Sound Bath with Trish — 50 minutes We'll transition into a 50-minute sound bath, where vibrations of various instruments invite you into deep rest, unwinding the nervous system and restoring your energy centers.
💆♀️ Mini Massage with Denys and Cass During the sound bath, two of our licensed massage therapist board members, Denys and Cass, will move through the room offering gentle mini-massages focused on the head, neck, and shoulders — helping release tension and guide you even deeper into the relaxation of the sound healing journey.
🌿 Vegan Snacks and Treats by Amanda As the afternoon winds down, gather with the circle over a spread of vegan snacks and treats crafted by Amanda — a sweet, nourishing way to linger a little longer before you carry the day's stillness back out into the world.
What to bring: comfortable clothing, supportive footwear, a water bottle, and rain gear — our forest bathing walk happens rain or shine. For the sound bath, bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, or whatever helps you settle in comfortably for deep rest.
