New Moon Renewal: A Forest Mindfulness and Sound Healing Circle

Reset with us in the healing sanctuary of Sheldrake’s forest, as we welcome the new moon. Immersed in the restorative setting of nature, you’ll be invited to release old energy, set new intentions, and reconnect with nature and yourself.

Participants will be led on a 45-minute mindful nature sequence, including movement, land-connecting rituals, guided breathwork and centering practice, and walking meditation. Then, we’ll enjoy an hour-long sound-healing and meditation practice. For closure, we will conclude with a tea ceremony and community share.

These gentle practices support relaxation, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being. Participants will leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and open to new growth and abundance.

Join us for this nourishing seasonal gathering and welcome spring with clarity, calm, and connection.

Please bring a yoga mat. Additional information to help prepare for this experience will be emailed to registrants in the days leading up to the event.
