Offerings for Opening & Transformation

Evolving practices invite us to listen, open, heal and feel our way into stillness and mindful being—with ourselves and with the world. Healing Walks, Woods Music, Placemaking, and Seasonal Celebrations have grown Our Story; new ways of conscious partnering with the land are now emerging.​ Recently developed offerings, others in the works, and an old favorite are described briefly below. See Calendar for schedule of upcoming activities and programs.

Creating Sacred Space

Marianna Jacobs is a local energy healer grounded in years of Shamanic Transformational Energy Healing and training through healing modalities from Peru, Bali and India. She has a full-time healing practice with individual clients and leads workshops, retreats and classes for healing and Yoga. Her love and connection with the outdoors fuels her passion to share the knowledge and healing tools she’s acquired from Andean cosmology, Ancient Chinese wisdom and Indian Vedas.
 
On November 6th, 2:30 - 5:00PM—at the confluence of the Full Moon and Daylight Savings—Marianna will lead a Transformational Energy Forest Retreat & Fire Ceremony, where we’ll open Sacred Spaces together as individuals and as a group with Nature, creating individual forest Mandalas for exploration, rediscovery, affirmation, transformation and energetic healing, focused on specific openings to new pathways of discovery. We'll end with a fire ceremony to release heavy energy, celebrating our unique light with the support of the Full Moon. Suggested donation, $25.

Co-Creating a Life of Purpose

Releasing into our shared future

Healing Walks

​Healing walks on the land have long been a favorite of locals and visitors taking the short drive up Sunset Lake Road—2nd and 4th Fridays, Spring through Fall—to gather beneath the tall oak and pine for the stroll to the In-between Place to breathe and listen; first to the stillness and teeming life of forest and fen, then to shared reflections from the walk held in silence.

Fun with exploration of our shared roots
