Autumn Alchemy

As the air begins to cool and the leaves begin their golden turning, we gather again in the heart of the forest to honour the changing season.

If your heart is longing for stillness and your body is whispering for rest, this is your invitation to pause, breathe, and return home to yourself.

Join me and registered acupuncturist & osteopath Teresa Nieman for Autumn Alchemy; a nourishing afternoon of movement, acupuncture, sound healing, and meditation.

Here’s what awaits you...

~ Pranayama
We’ll begin with grounding breathwork to soften the nervous system, quiet the mind, and open the body to a state of presence.

~ Slow Flow Yoga for Autumn
A gentle, heart-led yoga practice inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and the season of Autumn. With a focus on digestion and the large intestine (Autumn’s organ of release), this class will support you in letting go, inside and out.

~ Nourishing Plant-Based Yogi Bowls
Prepared by Upbeet Eats, these colourful, gluten-free meals are the perfect post-practice nourishment. Shared picnic-style, because food tastes better under the trees!

~ Restorative Yoga + Sound Healing
We’ll gather for a sound bath steeped in the wisdom of the Metal element, the season of the lungs, grief, and release. Expect crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and deep rest.

~ Nervous System Reset Acupuncture
While resting in sound, Teresa will offer each guest a personalized acupuncture treatment to regulate the nervous system and support seasonal transition. (Includes a $75 receipt for extended health coverage.)

~ Take-Home Goodies
Each guest will receive a pouch of my homemade Pranayama herbal tea and a calming Autumn aromatherapy mist, a little bottle of sanctuary to carry home.

This isn’t just an event.
It’s your Autumn exhale.
A sacred pause to honour where you’ve been,
and gently let go of what no longer serves.
