Celebrate Fall with Breathe the Trees
Savor the Season. Slow Down. Breathe Deeply.
Fall has a special kind of magic. The gardens are still abundant, the trees are just starting the change, the evenings get cooler, and nature gently reminds us to savor the season. It's a wonderful time to gather with friends, spend time outdoors, create something meaningful, and fill your home with the comforting fragrances of nature.
At Breathe the Trees, our experiences are about creating moments to pause, engage your senses, learn something new, and reconnect with nature, with others, and with yourself.
Whether you're joining us beside the lake, at a beautiful winery, a lovely greenhouse, or in a cozy tea lounge, we'd love to welcome you.

Autumn Inspiration
As summer quietly begins its transition toward autumn, nature reminds us that every season has something to teach. The trees don't rush toward fall, they simply continue growing, reaching toward the light, and making the most of each remaining warm day.
Perhaps we can do the same. Take the walk you've been putting off. Sit beneath a favorite tree. Invite a friend to coffee. Create something with your hands. Fill your home with comforting scents. Watch a sunset. Breathe a little deeper. The moments we remember most are often the ones when we slow down enough to truly experience them.
Thank you for allowing Breathe the Trees to be part of your journey. We look forward to seeing you this August.
With gratitude,

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Listen to birdsongs and take a deep breath.
Nature doesn’t ask us to be perfect. It simply invites us to be present.
