SAMHAIN CIRCLE: The Magic of Ancestry

Sunday, November 1st, 6:30-9 pm | $35

Samhain marks a time when the connection with our ancestors is more available to us. We can use this connection to honor those who have come before and call upon their wise wisdom to help us navigate our lives.

In this circle, we will be honoring the energy of the season as we learn to cultivate our ancestral connections.

We will sit in circle, do a guided meditation to meet our ancestors, craft an ancestral honoring candle, and open the circle for sacred sharing and space holding.

These circles offer opportunities to take part in a ritual gathering to facilitate reverence and sacredness in our lives. They offer the perfect opportunity to come together, take a sacred pause, and reflect on where we are and how we can support ourselves and each other during each season

All gender expressions welcome. This takes place at an off-site location.

Led by Sarah Josey .Soul.Circles

Sarah Josey is the Founder and Owner of Golden Poppy as well as her side project Wild Soul Circles. She loves creating spaces for us modern humans to tap back into the rhythms and cycles of nature, to bring forward our wildness, to reconnect with our higher selves and our deeper callings while making meaningful connections with those around us.

Space is limited to 19, book your spot online: https://goldenpoppyherbs.as.me/Samhain-Circle

SHINRIN-YOKU: Forest Bath

Sunday, October 11 | 9 am -12 pm | $30

Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese wellness practice that means “bathing in the forest atmosphere.” It’s simply being in nature—with all five senses awake.

Join certified Forest Therapy Guide Alyssa Golinvaux for an introductory and experiential Forest Bathing workshop. You’ll spend time learning the basic principles, get to partake in a “bath,” and will finish with tea to re-gather and share experiences with the group.

Proven health benefits of forest bathing include:
-Decreased stress: Cortisol levels drop significantly after even 20 minutes in nature.
-Lower blood pressure and heart rate: Helps regulate the nervous system.
-Better sleep and less fatigue: Especially in those with high baseline stress.
-Enhanced immunity: A two-hour forest walk boosts Natural Killer (NK) cell activity, with effects lasting up to 30 days- NK cells help fight viruses and cancer.

Alyssa is a multi-passionate wellness guide with a deep belief in the power of intentional living and connection to nature. She is certified as a Forest Therapy Guide with The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT). She sees nature as a powerful antidote to the disconnection so common in Western culture, and believes that grounding ourselves in natural beauty, presence, and joy can spark meaningful transformation.
