Animal and Body Wisdom with a Hike, Ski or Snowshoe & Sauna

Duration

4 hours

About

Explore Animal Medicine and Body Wisdom while also moving your body and releasing in the wood-burning barrel sauna.

Each month we will explore the wisdom of an animal and the connection to our body and mind. Our mind and our body are intricately connected, where we hold emotions and thoughts in the body is not by coincidence, and we can help the body and the mind release through conscious awareness, movement, and intentional releasing in the sauna.

Animal & Body Consciousness Teachings - Discover how each month’s astrological sign carries wisdom for a specific body part and its consciousness. Each sign is paired with an animal totem, offering guidance through the body’s messages and the cycles of nature (e.g., Snake with the reproductive organs, Owl with the thighs, hips and liver). When you raise your awareness to the consciousness of the body and environment around you, healing happens on all levels.

Guided Meditation - After learning more about the animal and body wisdom, you’ll be guided through a meditation that will allow you to connect more deeply to the consciousness and meaning in your body-mind.

Seasonal Guided Adventure and Environmental Connection – Next, we will venture off out into nature, moving our bodies either with hiking, skiing, or snowshoeing, exploring the wisdom of a chosen animal guide while tuning into your body’s messages.

The Prairie Grazer Artisan Box – Savor a thoughtfully curated grazing box filled with local artisan foods, allowing you to digest the experience.

Sauna Experience – Close the day in the warmth of a wood-fired sauna, where heat, stillness, and reflection support your integration and renewal.

This is more than a wellness outing—it’s an invitation to live in dialogue with your body, nature, and the unseen wisdom around you. Each month brings new teachings, new animal guides, and new layers of connection.
