SUMMARY:Interbeing 11: DAWN
DESCRIPTION:With the sun’s rise\, long shadows stretch across the landscape. The East brings the medicine of new beginnings and rebirth and joy\, yes\, but not without alchemization and metabolization of the darkness that has come before. More info about the year’s first of two celebrated weekend-long camping retreats coming soon. \nIn past years\, Interbeing retreats have typically focused on a single theme or wellness modality; in 2026\, we are delighted to offer retreats that offer a little something for every part of your whole being: from prompted journaling to dance parties\, guided meditation to yoga for all bodies\, sound bathing to nature relation\, ephemeral art to spaciousness\, thermic cycling to naps\, music to story circles. Guests will be invited into a weekend of relaxation\, curiosity\, shared wisdom\, open-heartedness\, and community. \nVisit the Interbeing 11: DAWN event page for all the details and to register. \nReady to register? Use code EARLYBIRD2026 before April 19\, 2026 to get $96 off! \n  \nAct fast – this event is limited to 25 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.

SUMMARY:Healing Minnesota: Becoming the Sweetgrass - A Community Healing Gathering

Together\, we have created spaces where people have been able to release what they have been carrying\, reconnect with themselves and one another\, and remember that they do not have to walk alone. \nThere is a remembering many are longing for. A returning to kindness. To connection. To the quiet medicine that exists within the natural world and within ourselves. \nA remembering that we belong to something larger than ourselves. That healing happens in relationship with the land\, with one another and within our own hearts. \nSweetgrass has long been known as a sacred hair of Mother Earth. A medicine of kindness\, compassion and unconditional love. Its teachings remind us that even after hardship\, we can choose to move through the world with gentleness\, gratitude and care. \nBecoming the Sweetgrass is an invitation into that remembering. \nThrough guided forest bathing\, ceremony\, reflection\, community connection and a shared meal\, participants will have the opportunity to slow down\, reconnect with the natural world and explore what it means to live in deeper relationship with ourselves\, one another and all living things.” – Renee Butters\, She Heals Noojimo Noojimo’iwe \n
