West Milford, New jersey
Step into the quiet magic of winter with this Forest Bathing & Sacred Cacao experience — a gentle blend of nature, stillness, and heart-centered connection.

We’ll begin with a slow, guided forest bathing walk through the winter woods. This is not a hike or fitness walk, but an invitation to soften, awaken your senses, and let the calming presence of nature settle your nervous system.

After our time among the trees, we’ll gather outside in warmth for a sacred cacao ceremony. Wrapped in scarves and winter layers, you’ll enjoy a mug of gently spiced ceremonial cacao as we pause, reflect, and connect in a cozy forest circle.

This experience is designed to feel grounding, welcoming, and deeply nourishing — perfect for anyone craving a meaningful pause and a softer way to move through winter.

• Duration: approximately 2 hours
• Location: Lower West Milford, NJ (exact location disclosed upon registration)
• Attire: warm, weather-appropriate layers and sturdy winter footwear with good traction for potentially snowy or icy woodland paths
• Cost: $25 


No experience is needed—just come as you are.

The Essential Essentials
~ Rooted in Nature.  ready when you need it ~

wednesday, january 21, 2026, 7:00 Pm

West Milford, NJ


This January wellness class focuses on the foundational essential oils that support everyday well-being, including calm, sleep, immune support, focus, and gentle relief, along with a thoughtful look at oils that can be especially helpful during unexpected or high-need moments.

We’ll explore when and why to reach for each oil, how they support the body and emotions and how to use them simply and confidently.  This is a hands-on, sensory experience where you’ll smell, experience, and learn about each oil as we go, grounding knowledge in real-life use.

Whether you’re brand new to essential oils or have years of experience, this class is designed to meet you where you are.  Seasoned oil users are warmly invited to share personal insights, because every time we gather, new understanding grows through shared experience.

This is wellness, simplified—rooted in nature and ready for everyday life.
