Upcoming Events at Botanica

nature meditation sundayS with rei

In this event you will participate with a small group in meditation, silent walking and personal introspection and then discussion facilitated by Rei. Attendees are encouraged to bring snacks/lunch and enjoy the property after the session concludes.


Rei Blaser spent her early years among the soft whisper of pines and the playful fireflies of Wisconsin's quiet countryside. Throughout her life she has turned to nature for finding clarity and direction during many of her turns on the curvy path of life. Those moments led to her wearing many hats as a support person and is in service as a Life Coach.  She now desires to create space for others to expand their self-awareness through their relationship with Nature.  Her hope is for people to feel less stress and greater confidence in trusting their own voice of wisdom.


SUNDAYS 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

FOREST BATHING

Restoring Wellness at Botanica  


DATE: TBD

Ticket purchase required. Cost: $30  


In the beauty of Autumn, come experience the “Magic” that  happens when we slow the Body/Mind and open our Senses to the World of Nature.  


This Walk is inspired by the Japanese practice called Shinrin Yoku which literally  means “forest bathing”. Forest bathing is the intentional practice of slowing down  and immersing oneself in the sounds, sights, smells and sensations in nature in  order to restore wellbeing and honor our relationship with the natural world. We will meander through the  Gardens at a relaxed pace, receiving guided invitations that awaken the senses and encourage a personal  connection with the earth. In closing we will have a taste of the Gardens with a tea made from edible and  medicinal plants gathered here.  

Scientific research has shown that coming into this fuller, deeper immersion with Nature is powerful medicine.  


Potential Health Benefits: 

● Reduces stress & anxiety 

● Boosts immune health 

● Lowers blood pressure 

● Elevates & stabilizes mood


This event is led by Susan Karle, a Certified Forest Therapy Guide.  She brings over a decade of experience guiding Nature connection practices with  people of all ages. Her approach integrates her background in grief and trauma work with a  respect for the healing power of Nature.  


To register: or questions, contact Susan at susanklmft@gmail.com  

This event is limited to 12 participants
