    The Art of Wintering Well: Discover Hygge and Holistic Wellness at Halcyon House

    Now that the busy holiday season is behind us and we are officially stepping into the new year, it is the perfect time to focus on rejuvenation, mindful rest, and personal growth. We are absolutely thrilled to announce one of our upcoming community events at Halcyon House: a brand-new, immersive winter workshop title The Art of Wintering Well.

    Co-hosted by myself and wellness expert Sara Shepard, this unique event is designed to help you thrive during the colder months. We are combining our deep passion for nervous system regulation and sensory system health with the cozy, time-honored Danish practice of Hygge. Instead of a dry lecture, we will present this transformative health information in an incredibly relaxing, fun, and highly interactive environment.

    Halcyon House inself is naturally filled with authentic Hygge charm. During this special workshop, we will intentionally use our preaceful space to help you physically and emotionally experience the profound beauty of this comforting lifestyle practice. You will walk away with practical, everyday tools to nourish your mind-body connection, manage seasonal stress, and cultivate deep inner warmth.

    Our goal is to bring the neighborhood together through enriching local workshops that inspire lifelong vitality. Whether you are looking to soothe your nervous system, connect with like-minded neighbors, or simply enjoy a restorative afternoon, this experience is for you.

    We cannot wait to welcome you to our upcoming winter wellness gathering! Space is limited for this special interactive event, so be sure to reserve your spot early. We hope to see you very soon!

  • Staying present

    Staying present

    Staying present in the now is one of this life’s greatest challenges.  Over the years I have practiced many different meditations, breathing techniques, etc. to overcome the overwhelming desire to be anywhere but this present moment. There are a few that I always end up coming back to because they work for me.  In the energy class that I am teaching on Wednesdays, you will learn one of the techniques that I have been practicing and playing with for 25 years. My intention for this class is to share something that works for me with this community. As with all meditations it is simple, but not always easy. It involves working with the imagination and that doesn’t work for everyone. It’s ok, there isn’t a single meditation, or exercise, or hobby that works for everyone. The fun challenge is finding what centers you, brings you joy, and motivates you to action in co-creating your experience here. So run, sit, paint, meditate, sip tea and contemplate the universe, just do it with the presence of now.
