September at Nourish Collaborative

As we move into a new season, it’s the perfect time to slow down, reconnect, and create a little more space for yourself.

We’re excited to welcome a beautiful lineup of September wellness classes with our practitioner, Jeanne Riley, designed to support your body, mind, and spirit.

Candlelight Restorative Yoga with Acupressure

Settle into a deeply restorative practice surrounded by candlelight. Release tension, quiet the mind, and allow your body to truly rest.

Qi Gong – Movement for Vitality
Every other Friday, beginning September 11th
Choose from 10:30 AM or 5:00 PM
Gentle, flowing movement and breathwork designed to support energy, balance, relaxation, and overall well-being.

SoulCollage® Experience

Explore creativity, self-discovery, and your own inner wisdom through the beautiful practice of SoulCollage®. No artistic experience is needed just come as you are.

Fall is a season of transition, grounding, and returning inward. We hope you’ll join Jeanne for one or all of these opportunities to rest, restore, move, create, and reconnect.

I’m puppy sitting today. This is Rhody my son’s 10 week old yellow lab. My instructions were to put her into her crate to go to sleep but she just plunked down here and closed her eyes. Never wake a sleeping baby is my rule so this is where she is staying until those little eyes pop back open.

I will be scheduling a new class soon. Classes are fun, relaxing and eye opening.

What is SoulCollage®? We love this question, and we love that the answer is never quite the same twice. Each week, we're sharing how our remarkable SoulCollage® Facilitators complete the sentence "SoulCollage® is..." in their own words. So many ways to say something true.

How would you complete the sentence?

I love everything about how this class makes me feel. Try it!

In this 90-minute healing workshop, you’ll be guided to identify the body sensations that hold your stresses, and rather than trying to get rid of them, we will learn to hold them in a compassionate way. This month’s topic is SPEAKING UP - we will explore the ways we learned not to do this, and ...

I find this fascinating.

Scientists just confirmed that trees actively communicate with each other using ultrasonic sound pulses — forests are engaged in continuous acoustic conversation at frequencies completely inaudible to human ears.

Researchers at the University of Florence used ultrasonic microphones sensitive to frequencies between 20 and 200 kilohertz — far above the 20 kilohertz limit of human hearing — to record communication between European beech trees in Tuscany's Casentino Forest. Trees under drought stress emitted distinctive ultrasonic click patterns at 40-80 kilohertz that neighboring trees responded to within 6 hours by closing their stomata — the leaf pores that control water loss — before they themselves experienced any drought stress. The responding trees showed measurable physiological changes indicating they received and acted on the acoustic drought warning from their stressed neighbors.

Physical mechanism analysis confirmed the clicks originate from microscopic cavitation events — tiny bubbles forming and collapsing in water-conducting xylem tissue as drought stress builds — which propagate through both the air and the soil, traveling up to 50 meters between trees. The signal pattern carries information about stress severity — trees under severe drought produce higher frequency clicks more rapidly than mildly stressed trees — suggesting the acoustic communication carries quantitative not merely binary warning information.

Scientists now describe forests not as collections of independent competing organisms but as acoustically connected communities actively sharing survival information in real time.
