July with Breathe The Trees
Gather. Create. Connect. Breathe.
Summer is in full bloom, and July is the perfect time to slow down, gather with good people, create something beautiful, and reconnect with the natural world around us.
At Breathe the Trees, we believe wellness doesn’t have to feel complicated. Sometimes it looks like fresh herbs and flowers on a table. A mason jar filled with citrus and botanicals. A glass of wine shared with a new friend. Laughter during a creative workshop. Or a quiet walk beneath the trees.
This July, we have three unique Simmer Pot Kits Workshops—each with its own personality, ingredients, and experience.
Tea Lovers Simmer Pot Kits Workshop
Sunday, July 12 at 2:00 PM
Tranquili-Tea Calm Your Mind Lounge
Middletown, New York
Calling all tea lovers! Join us for a cozy, sensory experience inspired by the beautiful world of tea.
We’ll explore fragrant herbs, florals, citrus, spices, and tea-inspired botanicals while learning about their origins, traditions, aromas, and wellness connections. You’ll create your own handcrafted simmer pot kits to take home and enjoy.
Expect a relaxed afternoon filled with beautiful ingredients, creativity, conversation, and connection in the wonderfully calming atmosphere of Tranquili-Tea.
Summer Escape Simmer Pot Kits Workshop
Thursday, July 23 at 6:00 PM
PBF Restaurant & Bar
Montgomery, New York
No plane ticket required.
Our Summer Escape workshop is inspired by sunshine, tropical getaways, refreshing cocktails, bright citrus, fragrant botanicals, and that wonderful feeling of being somewhere warm with nowhere you need to rush off to.
We’ll blend vacation-inspired fruits, florals, herbs, and spices into handcrafted simmer pot kits designed to bring a little summer escape into your home.
Come early, stay late, and make an evening of it! Enjoy delicious food and fun cocktails available for purchase from PBF Restaurant & Bar before, during, or after the workshop.
Wine Lovers Simmer Pot Kits Workshop
Sunday, July 26 at 1:00 PM
Christopher Jacobs Winery at Pennings Vineyards
Pine Bush, New York
One of our favorite workshop themes is back!
Inspired by wine country, sangria, orchards, vineyards, and warm spices, this hands-on workshop brings together beautiful fruits, botanicals, herbs, and spices to create wine-inspired simmer pot kits.
Sip a glass of wine, enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of the winery, meet new people, laugh a little—or a lot—and create something beautiful to take home.
Our previous Wine Lovers workshop was filled with conversation, curiosity, connection, and so much fun. We’re excited to do it again!

You may be surprised by how much you’ve walked past without ever really seeing.
Our guided nature journeys can be wonderful for:
Individuals and small groups
Families
Friend gatherings
Corporate wellness programs
Team-building experiences
Community organizations
Anyone curious about the natural world
A Summer Invitation
This month, give yourself something to look forward to. Come make something with your hands. Learn the story behind a plant or spice. Meet someone new. Gather your favorite people. Walk beneath the trees. Sip something delicious. Laugh around a table.
Breathe the Trees is about creating opportunities to reconnect—with nature, with creativity, with community, and with yourself.
We’d love to welcome you.

May & June in Bloom
It All Begins Here
The days are growing longer, the trees are full and green, gardens are waking up, and summer is beginning to stretch its warm arms toward us. This beautiful transition from spring into summer reminds us that nature is always moving, always evolving, and always inviting us to slow down long enough to notice it.
At Breathe the Trees, this season is about joy, connection, mindfulness, and creating simple moments that help us feel grounded and alive. Whether it’s sipping tea on the porch, walking beside a lake, lighting a calming candle after a long day, or gathering with others for a nature-inspired workshop, there are so many ways to reconnect with yourself through the natural world.
This Season’s Nature Reminder
Did you know that being near water and green spaces can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, improve focus, and elevate mood? As spring transitions into summer, our senses naturally awaken. The scent of flowers, warm breezes, birdsong, sunshine, and longer evenings all create opportunities for mindfulness and restoration. Even a few intentional moments outside can help shift your energy and improve your overall well-being.
This month, try stepping outside early in the morning or just before sunset. Leave your phone behind for a few minutes and simply notice what you hear, smell, and feel.

Watch the trees move in the wind.
Listen to birdsongs and take a deep breath.
Nature doesn’t ask us to be perfect. It simply invites us to be present.
With gratitude,
