Join Brandy Case Haub of Intertwined Nature Forest Therapy on October 17 from 1–3 PM at Southwoods for a relaxing, two-hour guided forest bathing experience.

Forest bathing offers an opportunity to slow down, reduce stress, and reconnect with the natural world through mindfulness and sensory-based activities. This gentle, guided walk is designed to promote relaxation, deepen your connection with nature, and support overall well-being. With less than a half mile of walking, the experience is accessible for most ages and abilities.

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: 1–3 PM
𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Southwoods Park
𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭: $20 per person

Take time to unwind, enjoy the outdoors, and experience the restorative benefits of nature.

And in the blink of an eye, his HS athletics are over. I am going to be so bored with no football games and track meets to attend 😭

It's been a joy to watch his journey, and celebrate all the ups and downs the past 5 years 💜💛

On this Solstice....
welcome the blessing,
the blessing that comes
when we pause
before beginning again...

Welcome the Blessing

In the Dance of Life
there is always a moment
when one foot pauses
while the other foot moves forward
and so it is with Mother Earth
in her slow dance round the sun,
a moment when one foot pauses
while the other foot moves forward.

When we dance with Mother Earth
there is always a blessing
when we pause at the Solstice,
always a blessing
in her slow dance round the sun,
always a blessing
when we pause
before beginning again.
