SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Celebration

We will feast on summer harvests of fruits and veggies\, create a despacho offering for Pachamama to connect to our Great Mother and the Stars\, gather around the fire and enjoy the company of one another. \nA despacho is an Andean ceremony where we build a prayer bundle of offerings to Pachamama\, a gift as an energetic exchange for healing and re-establishing divine harmony and protection. This living embodiment of our landscape of life that meets at the level of soul and connects to all creation. Traditionally\, we perform this ceremony on each earth cycle to renew and re-imprint the powers of nature for our luminous body to bring in the light. Each item of offering represents a prayer/gift of power that sparks momentum for energy shifts and profound healing. In this we honor Pachamama\, our ancestors\, our reflections of the year and give it to the fire to transmute what we are letting go/what we wish to bring in for ourselves and the collective. \nWhat to bring: \n\nJournal/pen\nCushion to sit on inside as we co-create the despacho\nInstrument to play by the fire if you wish\nCamping chair for sitting by the fire\n\nTo Register\, simply email Shawn HERE or RSVP below that you would like to attend.

SUMMARY:Lammas/Lughnasadh Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Lammas/Lughnasadh\, celebrated on August 1\, marks the first harvest on the Wheel of the Year and invites us to pause in gratitude for what is ripening within and around us. \nIt invites us to pause at the threshold of the first harvest—to honor what has ripened\, what is still becoming\, and the uncertainty that often lives between planting and receiving. As summer begins its gentle turn toward autumn\, we gather in gratitude for the Earth\, for the work of our hands and hearts\, and for the abundance already present. This is a time to rest\, reflect\, and listen for what is ready to be gathered\, shared\, preserved\, or lovingly released. \nTogether\, we will celebrate through seasonal harvest foods\, an intuitively crafted tea blend\, a simple make-and-take Seed & Harvest Bundle\, and a fire ceremony. We will honor what has come to fruition\, sit tenderly with what may not have unfolded as hoped\, and choose the seeds\, wisdom\, and intentions we wish to carry forward. This gathering is an invitation to receive the goodness of the season\, nourish one another in community\, and remember the sacred rhythm of giving\, receiving\, tending\, and letting go. \nWhat to bring: \n\nCome with your curiosity\, a beginner’s mind\, and a willingness to play\, reflect\, and connect\nA seasonal food\, fruit\, vegetable\, flower\, herb\, or other offering from your own harvest to share with the community\, if you feel called\nA camping chair for the fire ceremony\nA journal and pen\, if you would like space for personal reflection\nA water bottle\nAny instrument you would like to bring to play\nMost of all\, bring yourself exactly as you are.\n\nYou are invited to choose the exchange that feels most comfortable and aligned for you. \n**Location near Independence and Sharon Amity. Full address will be given after registration. Please register beforehand to ensure there will be enough abundance for all.  \nArt by Seed Savers © Leah Marie Dorion 2017

SUMMARY:Fall Equinox Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the Fall Equinox as the time we honor the turning of the wheel and the sacred balance of light and dark. For one brief moment\, day and night stand in equilibrium before we begin our descent into the quieter\, darker months of the year. \nNature reminds us that this is a season of harvest — a time to gather what has grown\, offer gratitude for what has ripened\, and gently release what has completed its cycle. We pause to reflect on what 2026 has brought into our lives: the seeds we planted\, what took root\, what flourished\, and what may have grown differently than we imagined. We honor all of it. \nAs the days begin to shorten on our journey toward the Winter Solstice\, we are invited to turn inward. The Fall Equinox asks us to notice where balance is being restored within and around us\, what we wish to carry forward\, and what we are ready to return to the earth. \nWe will begin by co-creating a despacho prayer bundle\, an Andean ceremony of sacred exchange with Pachamama for healing\, protection\, gratitude\, and the restoration of divine harmony. This living offering mirrors the landscape of our lives\, meeting us at the level of soul and weaving us back into relationship with all of creation. \nTraditionally performed with each Earth cycle\, the despacho renews and re-imprints the powers of nature within our luminous body. Each item placed becomes a prayer and an offering — honoring what has been received\, releasing what has reached completion\, and planting the energetic seeds we wish to carry into the season ahead. \nTogether\, we honor Pachamama\, our ancestors\, the harvest of this year\, and the wisdom gathered along the way. Our prayers will be woven into the bundle before it is offered to the fire\, allowing the flames to transmute what we are releasing and carry our gratitude and intentions into the unseen. \nWe will close by offering our despacho to the fire in sacred exchange with Pachamama. Through song\, movement\, and shared sound (bring an instrument if you feel called)\, we will honor the harvest while listening for where greater balance is being invited into our lives. \nWhat to Bring:  \nJournal + pen\nCushion or mat for the indoor ceremony\nCamping chair\, if you have one\, for the outdoor ceremony\nAn instrument\, drum\, rattle\, or other sacred sound offering if you feel called to bring one \nCancellation policy: If for whatever reason you need to cancel\, please do so as soon as you know. Within 3 days of event\, participant may receive a refund (minus PayPal expense). If participant cancels within 24 hrs there will be no refund\, but can use towards a future event. If it rains\, we will be inside celebrating.

SUMMARY:Art of Mindful Tea Blending & Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Shawn at Greatwoods Zen Community for this special day of mindfulness that invites you to step away from the pace of everyday life and return to a slower\, more attentive rhythm that is guided by breath\, nature and the quiet wisdom of plants. \nWe will begin by gathering in circle with a short meditation to arrive in the body and settle into presence. After brief introductions\, we’ll move into a silent\, mindful walk through nature\, allowing the senses to open and awareness to gently deepen. As we walk\, we practice listening to the wind\, the earth beneath our feet and the subtle ways the natural world communicates. \nReturning from the walk\, we’ll enter a guided sensory meditation with a selection of herbal allies. Through touch\, scent\, and direct experience\, each participant will be invited to intuitively choose the herbs that feel most resonant\, creating a personal tea blend. \nTogether\, we will craft our teas and sit in a simple tea ceremony as the herbs steep. We’ll share about the medicinal and traditional qualities of the plants\, and the long-standing role of herbal tea as both nourishment and gentle medicine. As we sip\, we’ll close in reflection and gratitude for the plant world and the practice of slowing down enough to listen. \nWhat to Expect\n\nShort sitting meditation to arrive and ground\nSilent\, mindful nature walk\nGuided sensory meditation with herbs\nIntuitive tea blending (you’ll create your own blend to enjoy)\nTea ceremony and shared reflection\n\nNo prior experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are ~ come with curiosity and a willingness to slow down. All herbs and materials provided. Please dress accordingly for a walk in the woods. \nSign Up HERE \nFacilitator\nShawn McStravick\, founder of Anam Cara Path\, is known for her gentle and intuitive presence\, creating spaces where people feel safe to slow down\, listen\, and reconnect with themselves. In this gathering\, she shares her love of plant wisdom and mindful ritual through an accessible\, grounded approach. \nDonation (Dana)\nThis gathering is offered in the spirit of community and accessibility. While the event is supported by a host stipend\, donations are warmly welcomed to support the continuation of this work and the sharing of plant wisdom (suggested between $15-45).
