New Moon Manifesting - August Offering
Aligning with the moon’s rhythm helps us move through life with more intention, clarity, and ease. When we attune to the moon, we return to a natural cycle of reflection, release, and renewal.
This New Moon gathering invites you to align with the moon and experience your own inner clarity. Together, we’ll create space to separate the noise from the knowing — to clear the inner clutter that disconnects you from your body and heart, and make room for thoughtful reflection, aligned choices, and more honest self-expression.
Untangle the thoughts pulling you in different directions, and reconnect with what you truly want to communicate and commit to in the cycle ahead.
Why this matters:
The New Moon invites us to reset — not just to begin again, but to begin with intention. Journaling helps give shape to scattered ideas. Breath and movement support focus and integration. Restorative stillness allows the quieter, wiser voice within to be heard — offering perspective, clarity, and deeper self-awareness.
What to Expect:
-
Sacred heart opening Cacao ceremony
-
Guided breathwork & movement
-
Journaling with self-reflection prompts
-
Intention-setting ritual
-
Restorative practice with sound integration
-
Take-home Moon Ritual Card & Tracker to help you continue your alignment with the moon cycles
No experience needed. All are welcome.

Rooted in Remembrance: A Fall Retreat for Grief
“Continuing to Cultivate Growth Amidst Loss"
Vicki Tree invites you to experience a day of renewal and hope at our Fall Grief Retreat on Sunday, October 19th from 9:15 - 3:45pm
This retreat is an offering — a sacred space to be with your grief, held in compassion and quiet support. Together, we’ll welcome the season of new beginnings while honoring all that we carry. Whether it has been one year or twenty, the grief process always deserves a moment of pause — to remember, reflect, and acknowledge all that was, and all that now is. This one-day retreat will do just that.
“Continuing to Cultivating New Growth Amidst Loss” is the heart of this retreat. It allows space for both grief and hope to coexist, encouraging participants to gently tend to the potential for renewal and personal growth, even when it feels fragile or unformed.
Through reflection, stillness, and connection, this day will be a beautiful, uplifting part of your lifelong journey of tending to the slow, steady process of healing. We welcome you to join us.

Description of the Sessions:
“Planting the Seeds of Hope” Workshop:
In this heartfelt and reflective session, Tammy gently guides participants through the process of embracing hope while continuing to honour their grief. Drawing on her extensive experience as a Hospice Palliative Care Nurse and Certified Thanatologist, Tammy brings a compassionate and holistic approach to the complexities of grief and healing.
Tammy invites participants to explore how grief, like the soil in spring, can hold space for new life and growth. Through meaningful discussion, a journaling exercise, and a symbolic seed-planting activity, participants will reflect on what they are ready to nurture in their lives moving forward.
This session offers a space where sorrow and hope can coexist. It is not about “moving on,” but rather about planting gentle intentions for healing, resilience, and personal growth, no matter where you are on your grief journey.
FUSION Specialty Class:
A harmonious blend of healing techniques designed by Vicki Tree to restore balance and release emotional tension. We begin with 30 minutes of gentle stretch style movements to release the hips/back, opening and relaxing the body. Then we sink deeper into relaxation with our signature Hot Stone Relaxation class which is infused with sound immersion throughout. The sound vibrations wash over you, bringing a deep sense of peace and alignment. This carefully crafted two-hour class allows you to PAUSE and reset by preparing your body first to be ready to receive, followed by a full surrender of mind.
