Earthing & Tea Meditations

An Earthing Session is a guided grounding meditation for relaxation and stress reduction. Earthing, also referred to as grounding, is a simply making of physical connection between the electrical frequencies of the human body with that of the Earth's in a mindful way.

Tea Mediations guide participants though a mindful experience taking in nature through the sense of taste. All plants are local, wild, or native to our bioregion.
