Rooted in Peace:
Meditation in the Gardens

Join us for a weekly Sunday Evening Meditation in the Gardens at the Cedar Valley Arboretum & Botanic Gardens—a serene, soul-nourishing experience designed to help you release the noise of the week, ground your energy, and realign with nature’s steady rhythm.

Surrounded by gorgeous trees, blooming gardens, and the soft sounds of the natural world, this guided meditation will offer space to settle your nervous system, soften the body, and quiet the mind. Each gathering is infused with gentle breathwork, grounding visualization, and mindful presence for all levels of experience.

Come as you are and wear comfortable layers. Bring a blanket and water, allowing the earth to hold you and leave feeling rooted, restored, and ready to begin the new week with clarity and calm.

✨ No experience necessary
🌿 Nature-based & nervous-system supportive
🕯 A sacred pause to begin the week refreshed and clear

Sunday Evenings from May-October


Classes are a suggested donation of $10-30 via cash jar or Venmo if financially able to contribute.

Farmer's Market 2026

I’m excited to return for my second season as a monthly vendor at the farmers market! There is something so special about gathering in community, supporting local growers and makers, and sharing meaningful conversations in the fresh air.

Stop by my booth to explore my books, connect in person, and learn about the work I offer for highly sensitive women, mothers, and families. I love meeting readers, fellow nature-lovers, and anyone curious about nurturing emotional wellness, intuition, and mind-body balance.

Whether you're looking for fresh flowers or herbs, a nature-inspired gift, support for your healing journey, or simply want to say hello, I would love to see you there.

Come wander the market, breathe in the beauty of the season, and visit my booth while you’re there.

Once Monthly May-October

Dates to Come Soon!
