The StoryThis tent has been a vision of mine for the past two years, but it took that long to get it because they were sold out for so long with the fresh craze for Glamping and getting outdoors for a life more connected to nature, which is absolutely amazing that so many people are making the moves to find ways to be closer to nature.
Personally, this is my purpose in life, to bring people closer to the nature of themselves and recognize their connection to all of nature through deeper self awareness and holistic perspectives. This tent offers a space where we can join together in community but still enjoy the comfort of not being distracted by bugs as well as the benefit of the wood stove to keep the tent cozy and warm during days when it is colder than 60 degrees outside. I named it the Bliss tent because it is being launched as an outdoor studio space here in Sugar Grove where I presently reside surrounded by Bliss Woods Forest Preserve and so the Bliss Tent its birthed into creation and ready to serve you as a safe space to make friends, connect to your body, enjoy nature and expand your mind. Location: 290 KeDeKa Road Sugar Grove |
About the SpaceThe tent is a 20 foot space which allows for 6-8 students to practice yoga in (6 when the stove is set up) or 10 people to gather for meditations, lectures or sister circle events.
There are screened windows throughout which can be opened to allow for fresh airflow and scenic views of the chickens outside or the wildlife that passes through the property such as herds of deer, sandhill cranes, and foxes. A bathroom is available in my home which also is the home of a large lovable dog named Koda, he will be contained during events, but if you have a dog allergy this is something to take into consideration if you need to use the facilities. Parking is limited to 7 vehicles, this is why pre-registration is required and there are discounted rates if you carpool, bike, walk, or run to come to an event. |

If you are interested in hosting an event out of the tent, please contact me as I am welcome guest facilitators for all things regarding sustainable living, forestry, foraging, yoga, healing modalities and so on. |

Morning Yoga FlowEnjoy the songs of the birds, everything budding and blooming in the garden, and the rustling leaves in the trees while you connect with your body for a session of head to toe stretching and awareness.
This class is designed to ease you into the practice by mindfully awakening your range of motion through the joints and tuning into your breath. We then power up the practice with a bit more engagement and activation to help you feel the full expression of your body in motion. After we are all properly warmed up we will explore some deeper stretches with longer holds to improve your flexibility. Class then concludes with a guided relaxation, and if you choose you are welcome to relax by the woods, or in the hammock by the hens after class, or take a little garden walk.
Create Space Yoga WorkshopsA beginner friendly mat yoga practice that is sequenced to create space in your body from head to toe while awakening awareness in each of your energy centers through color visualization, aromatherapy, breath and intention. At the conclusion of our mat practice, with all the natural surroundings of the tent, we will take some time to creatively journal or flow with color or BOTH!
Each participant will have access to various art media such as watercolors, colored pencils, and markers to invite energetic, emotional and mental release to move through you and onto paper that can served to help clear stuck energy in the body. This is intended to be part of your healing process while at the same time aid in sparking creative thoughts and imagination while simply having fun. If you have a journal that you may want to create in, please bring it; otherwise, materials will be provided. Sun Tea will be available and you are welcoming to relax and enjoy the property until Noon.

Moon Circles
Moon circles are held once or twice a month with either the new moon or the full moon or for both! They are designed to serve as a sacred ceremony of the divine feminine where women can gather and connect in a safe space to share and feel supported.
Every circle is different depending on the current astrological energies influencing the energies of the moon cycle. It is expected that you refrain from consuming alcohol or any mind-altering drugs before attending circle, it is intended to be a space where you can be present with the medicine of the moon and sisterhood.

September New Moon Sister Circle
|
Wednesday September 13th
6:15 - 8:15 pm Come gather around in circle, in connection, in ceremony in the dark of the New Moon in Virgo, a time when we are ready for confidently sowing new seeds of intentions! This New Moon shares the sign of Virgo with the SUN! So both the sun AND the moon will be in Virgo which mean all the gifts of Virgo will be amplified in their availability to us. Since Virgo is an Earth sign, this is a time to get grounded, to reconnect to your foundation, clear away the clutter and make some lists and plans for organizing your priorities. Virgo also offers us time for healing. Our evening together will provide support to nurture self care, commit to new seeds of growth, and ground your energy to the earth to prepare a fresh foundation. Together we will remember our ancient wisdom awakening in our wombs. Together we will hold space for one another's hearts with grace and compassion as we share authentically from the place within that is asking to be seen. Please bring a journal with you for any reflections you may want to write down and goals you would like to be witnessed achieving in your highest vibrational energy!
