TUNE INTO NATURE - Summer

Welcome to "TUNE INTO NATURE" series - Seasonal Gatherings (half-day retreats) to celebrate natural cycles through nature and sound immersions on the Northern Beaches. 

We will guide you to open your senses and your heart to connect to yourself and to nature through the power of Forest Therapy and Sound Healing. You will be invited to embrace a connected, immersive and sacred journey in nature, noticing and feeling deeply the beauty of being in nature and listening to healing sounds. We will be celebrating and tuning into summer and what it brings and means to you. 

We will be offering four "Tune into Nature" events in 2025:

1. Summer - Sunday 23 Feb - 2pm to 6pm
2. Autumn - Sunday 23 March - 1pm-5 pm
3. Winter - Sunday 15 June: 1pm-4pm
4. Spring - Sunday 21 Sept: 1pm-5pm

What to expect: 

- Nature Immersion & Forest Therapy Session

You will be gently guided into a nature immersion experience designed to foster a deep connection with nature, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku or “forest bathing,” or "forest therapy", these sessions encourage participants to slow down, engage their senses, and be present in nature. Through mindful walking, gentle exercises, and sensory and creative activities, individuals experience relaxation, reduced stress, and an enhanced sense of clarity and calm. These sessions create a nurturing space where people can reconnect with themselves and nature, leaving feeling refreshed, grounded, and rejuvenated.

- Journaling

Journaling in nature enhances mindfulness, clarity, and emotional well-being. Surrounded by nature, individuals can reflect more deeply, tune into their senses, and feel inspired. This practice reduces stress and fosters creativity. In this session, we’ll focus on exploring the meaning and symbolism of summer in our lives, discovering its personal significance and the energy it brings, leaving participants feeling refreshed and inspired.

- Sound Healing Journey

As the sun sets, you are invited to come into stillness and tune into the soothing vibration and frequency of a sound healing journey. Held by the vibrations of various instruments, you will be transported into a deep state of meditation and relaxation. 

- Connecting and chatting with present humans

Gathering together at the end of a summer-themed nature and sound immersion provides a warm, supportive space to share insights, debrief, and feel connected. Reflecting as a group deepens the experience, fostering a sense of community and helping each participant appreciate the season’s energy and meaning in their lives.

What to bring:

- Journal and a pen

- Comfortable clothes

- Water bottle

*** Rugs and cushions will be provided, but feel free to bring yours and an extra layer to put on you during the sound healing to keep you nice and comfy.
