Ashland Oasis:
HEALING TOGETHER

Saturday, February 22, 2:30PM - 5:00PM
Santa Monica, CA - Ancestral Tongva Land
with Sylvie Rokab

Connect with the HEALING power of COMMUNITY in an intimate natural refuge

Does your heart ache with the fiery devastation of our communities, the challenges in your own life, or the wounding of our beloved Mother Earth? How might love help heal the edges within yourself, your relationships, and your connection to the world? What could unfold if you soften the heart and allowed (self) compassion to blossom? 

If you’re drawn to explore any of these questions, join us at Ashland Oasis on Saturday, February 22 for a nurturing gathering that uncovers, cultivates, and nourishes the love at the center of our being and the threads of connection weaving through our Earth community.

Led by Sylvie Rokab, a seasoned guide in mindfulness, heartfulness, Forest Bathing, and storytelling, this afternoon retreat offers enriching practices in both our inviting communal hall and the serene nature therapy gardens.

Through meditation, deep sharing and listening circles, guided nature immersion, and reflective exercises, you’ll be gently held in a space of discovery and healing. Sylvie will also share an inspiring talk on (self) compassion, healing with Earth, and mindful presence, followed by an interactive session of questions and reflections (Q&R).

This is a unique opportunity to join a local community of like-hearted individuals, in person, to heal after the fires, and gently reawaken the joy of belonging together in our natural world. We can’t wait to welcome you!
