SUMMARY:Spiral Path: Seasonal Ceremonies
DESCRIPTION:Spiral Path: Seasonal Ceremonies\npresented by Silvae Spiritus and Sisu Nordic Sauna\nA four-part series:\nSpring: Sunday\, May 3\, 2026 – 12 noon – 6pm\nSummer: Sunday\, August 2\, 2026 – 12 noon – 6pm\nAutumn: Sunday\, November 1\, 2026 – 12 noon – 6pm\nWinter: Sunday\, January 31\, 2027 – 12 noon – 6pm\nAges 18+\n  \nOur vitality and interconnectedness with all of life is an inherent gift – one we’re all born with – and yet our Western culture often dismisses it\, or worse\, actively suppresses it. \nSpiral Path: Seasonal Ceremonies\, co-created by Silvae Spiritus and Sisu Nordic Sauna\, is a four-part wellness series reflecting and honoring the natural rhythms of an entire year.  Each session building upon the last\, each season meeting us where we authentically are.   Through sauna\, cold plunge\, and the mind\, body\, and spirit-tending Latvian thermic ritual of pirtis; deeply connective Forest Bathing and mytho-poetic herbcraft through the lens of animism; meditative and intuitive journaling; and the practice of community connection via The Way of the Circle\, each gathering will focus on the profound wisdom and expansive teachings of a season and those most connected to it. \nInspired by the Celtic Wheel of the Year’s cross-quarter days between the Solstices and Equinoxes\, we step together into a calendar of moons and ancient traditions.  One where time is told by blossom and harvest\, darkness and light.  Join us on the Spiral Path – a yearlong exploration of ritual\, tenderness\, connection\, and reflection. \nVisit the Spiral Path: Seasonal Ceremonies event page for more information and to register!  Event space is limited to 12 participants.

SUMMARY:Spring Evening Forest Bathing at Dodge Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Join Silvae Spiritus Nature & Forest Therapy guide Leigha Horton\, certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs\, for a guided spring evening forest bathing experience!  \nForest bathing is a slow-moving\, deeply sensory\, mindful and “bodyful” walk in nature that has shown to result in measurable physiological\, cognitive\, and emotional benefits. Much like walking meditation or yoga\, these activities can be practiced on one’s own\, almost anywhere\, and yet the benefits greatly increase with regular practice. Forest bathing is significantly more immersive when facilitated by properly trained and certified guides—you’ll be guided by an expert through this program!   \nOver the course of this walk\, you will be given a series of invitations and suggested ways to connect to your natural surroundings. This experience will be mostly silent\, honors each participant’s personal space\, and covers just about 1.5 miles over generally flat surfaces.  \nAt the end of each invitation\, the group will have an opportunity to share a few words of reflection\, integrating the experience both internally and within community. The walk concludes with tea and light snacks.  \nReservations required – register with Dodge Nature Center here.
