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. |
See Below for the Weekly Yoga Schedule and Other Special Events!
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. |
Weekly Yoga Schedule
Morning Yoga Flow
Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 9:15 - 10:15 am
Enjoy 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. $25/person

A minimum of 2 people registered is required for this session to run, a maximum of 7 people can attend a session.

Bliss Tent Special Events &Retreats
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.

Full Moon in Capricorn
Sunday July 21st
6 - 8 pm
The energy around this Full Moon in Capricorn is a time to revisit the energy you felt around the last full moon which was also in Capricorn, perhaps this moon cycle has brought up some heaviness that has been weighing you down under the surface and it is now bubbling up to be seen, felt, witnessed and released so that you may float lighter through life. Endings are challenging, but when we make the space to consciously choose to let go and open ourselves up to be held in the safe space of sisterhood, it can make the process a beautiful and more tranquil experience. Join us in a safe community to shed and release while accepting the endings that have come to be and then we will find our lightness through it all together again and be reborn anew with the support of this moon.
Come and connect to set intentions for what you wish to create and what you wish to bring closer to you!
