Join Virginia and MJ to embark on a 90-minute restorative sound journey in the heart of the forest on our one-of-a-kind Forest Plank. This immersive experience blends:


  • the healing essence of forest bathing
  • the resonance of therapeutic sound vibrations and immersions
  • the gentle power of restorative postures and mending movements—with a few magical touches, Vicki Tree Style. 


Guided through ten deeply nurturing postures with soft mvoement, you'll be enveloped in a full sound immersion designed to relax your body and calm your mind. Leave feeling lifted, light, and reconnected—with nature, and with yourself.


We have scheduled the dates far in advance. We hope you can make one!

Rooted In Remembrance

"Summer and Fall Retreats focused on grief"

 

We invite you to experience a day of renewal and hope at one of our Grief Retreats. These retreats are an offering — a sacred space to be with your grief, held in compassion and quiet support. Together, we’ll welcome new beginnings while honouring 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. 


Even in the wake of fresh sorrow, or long after a loss has settled into the fabric of our lives, a strategic pause gives us a quiet promise of growth. Take a moment to gently tend to your emotions around your grief while giving yourself space to breathe.

New Moon Manifesting

`~Monthly Offering with Pamela~

Enjoy this monthly offering at Vicki Tree with Pamela Fitzgerald, called New Moon Manifesting. Each month, enjoy something a bit different! Come to only one, or every month.


The New Moon is a powerful reset, a time to clear away the noise, focus on what truly matters, and step boldly into what’s next. Women who align with the moon’s cycles feel more empowered, more in flow, and more connected to themselves and their purpose. This is your invitation to reset, refocus, and take action toward the life you want. If you’ve ever felt drawn to the moon but don’t fully understand its impact, this is your chance to learn, experience, and align with its cycles in a way that truly benefits your life.


Evening Dates: (6:30 - 9:00pm)

  • Tuesday July 22nd
  • Friday August 22nd
  • Saturday, September 20th


Together, we’ll explore:


  • How the moon influences our emotions, energy, and personal growth
  • Why the new moon is a powerful time for action, courage, and fresh starts
  • How reconnecting with natural cycles can bring balance and purpose
  • Movement, meditation, and guided embodiment practices
  • Heart-opening power of ceremonial cacao, an ancient plant medicine that enhances intuition, relieves stress, and helps us release emotional blocks.
