Favorite Things
Cacao, Drumming, Labyrinth
When you're completely exhausted, nothing's better than nourishment, a peaceful environment, and being held by the ground to rest and restore. We're thrilled to offer you exactly that in the form of a cacao offering, complemented by light drumming and labyrinth meditation. Offered by a devotional frame drummer in the lineage of Layne Redmond also trained in cacao offerings by the indigenous people of Guatemala. Benefits the Mayans of Guatemala. In person only.
Forest Therapy (Sylvotherapy)
Do you believe trees might be our greatest healers? Sylvotherapy is an evidence-based form of forest bathing. That is, bathing each of the senses in the woods in specific, effective, custom ways to relieve the toxicity of the non-natural world, leading to rejuvenation, restoration, and calm. Both clinical and inherited cultural wisdom contribute to these truly unique experiences.
We offer both indoor and outdoor experiences, for individuals or groups of five or more.
Clinical Emotional Freedom Technique
When experiences can’t be fully processed, they’re stored in the nervous system and connective tissue. As the body tries to resolve this, undesired behaviors and physical symptoms can occur. Clinical EFT is an evidence based system combining acupressure, eye movements, and cognitive therapy to release and process those experiences. It’s helpful for pain reduction, lessening physical symptoms, releasing undesired habits and emotions, etc. In studies, it takes an average of six sessions to resolve PTSD, but most benefit from one session. We offer individual and group sessions in person and online.
