This is your invitation… yes, you, my sacred sister ✨

Join me this Saturday, April 4th, as we open the 5th season of the Bliss Tent with a Full Moon Sister Circle.

This Full Moon in Libra zodiac sign invites us into a sacred pause…

A moment to reflect, to recalibrate, to return to harmony and balance within.

Under her luminous glow, we allow the light of the moon to gently illuminate the truth we carry inside,
the places calling for softness, honesty, and realignment ❤️

This is a space to be held in the sanctuary of women.

Women with open hearts and open minds, gathering in connection, free of judgment, rooted in presence,
where you are seen, felt, and witnessed through a lens of love and deep acceptance.

The Bliss Tent will be warm and glowing with a cozy fire as we gather in circle, working with the potent energy of this moon while connecting with the goddess archetypes of Aphrodite and Ma'at.

Two powerful, distinct energies…
guiding us back into alignment with love, truth, and the sacred balance within our lives.

If you’ve been craving connection, clarity, or simply a space to exhale and be…
this circle is for you.

✨ Save your spot now through the Aviana site ✨

For those that haven't been to My Lil Homestead yet, you are welcome! The Bliss Tent is located in Sugar Grove right by Bliss Woods Forest Preserve off of Kedeka Road.

After visiting this sanctuary a couple weeks ago, I can't stop daydreaming about what it is going to look like in June with the wild flowers in bloom and the foliage vibrant with green!

This place is such a serene spot to serve as a place to restore and rejuvenate during the Solstice in the Saddle Retreat!

I'm looking forward to riding the land and seeing the epic mountain views, creating a custom hat, soaking in the Mount Princeton Hot Springs, hiking to Paradise Cove to take a polar dip, enjoy the medicine of the sweet majestic herd, and all the blessings of sisterhood!

Spaces are still available for a private room or a shared sisterhood herd home with special sisterhood savings! 🥰😊🥰

Easing into Spring with a refreshed foundation for the Bliss Bell Tent thanks to my handsome man providing his much needed skills and expertise at leveling out the sand base of the tent, which it never really had from the start.

I am so excited to get the tent up and share the nice even feel of the tent floor this season! It is going to be Divine!

Grateful for all the beginnings of Spring and this gorgeous weather! It's going to be a good season here at My Lil Homestead in the woods.

I'll be putting the schedule together in the next few days offering - sister circles, yoga, reiki and sound healing as well as some specialty workshops for essential oils and reiki trainings.

Booking is available now starting in April for private or group reiki sessions.

I made it out to visit Copper Lodge, where the Solstice in the Saddle Retreat will be held this June… and I have completely fallen in love. ✨

This place is pure magic.

The surrounding beauty is mesmerizing - wide open skies, quiet forest, and the kind of stillness that invites you to breathe deeper and soften into the moment.

Just being there feels incredibly inspiring.

Spending one night simply wasn’t long enough. There is such a deep sense of peace here that you can truly relax into.

The herd is incredibly sweet and kind, anchoring a safe space to simply be… and to be seen. ❤️

I woke up this morning feeling fully embodied, energized, clear, and refreshed.

It’s the exact feeling I hope every sister who answers the call will experience when we gather here to celebrate the solstice together.

🌞 If you’ve been craving time in nature, connection with horses, and a soulful circle of women to welcome the new season… this retreat was created for you.

✨ A few spots are still available! Come join our sisterhood!

Let’s celebrate the solstice together. 🐎🌿

Tonight is the night to say good-bye to Aviana offerings at the Torus Center for Integrative Healing in Batavia.

There are still spots available for the rejuvenating 6 pm Restorative Aerial Yoga with Hot Stones 🔥

Does your body need a reset from stress and overwhelm? Does your mind need a calm space held where you can just melt and relax into simply being - this is the experience for you to do just that!

The hammock is hung low to the ground so poses are very accessible to you. Aromatherapy, guided relaxation and hot stones will be infused throughout the session.

Last chance to experience this offering, save your spot on the Aviana website and I will get a spot set up for you!

Did you know that you do not have to be an aerial performer in order to teach aerial yoga?

So much of what is tagged on social media as aerial yoga actually crosses the line into aerial performance which can be misleading. Aerial yoga is very accessible and a wonderful style of yoga that can be led in a way which honors the integrity of a yoga practice through mindfulness and body intelligent sequencing.

I am SO excited to be able to share the Aviana methodology of teaching aerial yoga with you in Saint Augustine Florida at the stunning space of located on a sprawling equestrian property.

This is sure to be an epic weekend together rolling out the second edition of Soaring with the Soul as your new resource to all things aerial yoga, immersing into the fabrics to learn how to confidently lead intentional aerial yoga practices AND being able to connect with the energy of the surrounding horses holding the space of the land.

Registration will be closing soon! A deposit saves your spot with payment plans available for the remaining tuition so that you can easily get started on a new path with aerial yoga!

Well friends, it would seem that's about a wrap for Batavia and Aviana offerings.

In the past 11 years since I've been back in Illinois, I've launched aerial yoga & yoga programming, reiki, sister circles and aerial yoga teacher trainings out of 24 different locations in Illinois, 5 of which were in Batavia.

All 5 of those Batavia locations ultimately were unable to keep their doors open as yoga studios and wellness hubs. Batavia is such a beautiful town and I am grateful to have been able to share experiences with others in so many cool locations that have come and gone beginning with the Salt Escape and now ending with Torus Center for Integrative Healing.

It has been nothing short of a challenge to sustain through doors opening and closing. This time I'm letting all the doors close to do a full reset and redirect in life which I'm still unclear what that will look like in the days, months and years ahead.

If you wish to say goodbye to the downtown Batavia space I've been nesting at for the past couple of years, this Wednesday is your chance.

I am holding space for two final offerings:
🧡 6 pm Restorative Aerial Yoga with Hot Stones
🩷 7:30 pm Cocooned Relaxation with Sound Healing

If you'd like to join me please save your spots on the Aviana site, only 6 spots available for each offeirng.

For those that have supported me while in this space and all of the spaces I've been in since my return to Illinois, thank you SO much for trusting in me to be your guide, space holder and fellow sister, most of you have no idea how much your trust and support has meant to me ❤️ ✨️ 🙏
