Winter Tree Energy

Winter draws us inward, and the trees do the same. In this season, evergreens become especially potent— their energy condensed, vibrant, and deeply palpable. In this workshop, we’ll explore these winter currents through gentle Qigong, Tree Transformation Cards, and direct connection with three tree species: Douglas-fir, cedar (deodar, western red, and incense), and redwood. Each tree has a distinctly different energy. You will receive simple guidance on how to meet a tree and experience the first moments when your energy naturally tunes to the tree’s steady, present frequency. We’ll also touch on plant neuroscience—tree intelligence, sensory perception, and how trees respond to our presence. During your time with the trees, you may feel an energetic or physical shift, gain clarity, or receive a message. These insights can be fleeting, so bring a way to record them. Trees are aware of us, and many people experience profound exchanges. Please dress warmly and bring layers so you can enjoy being outdoors in winter. Afterward, we’ll return to the Hoyt office library for tea and optional sharing of experiences. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum, and registration is required through their website.
