Twilight at Patch: Full Moon Forest Bath
Nov 28, 2026
Select Days - Through Jan 23, 2027
From: 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM
A guided walk along softly lit forest paths pairs sensory awareness with meditation at Patch of Heaven Sanctuary. Offered on select Saturday evenings through February 20, 2027, this twilight series explores the sanctuary’s wooded grounds as daylight fades. Suzanne Jewell, the sanctuary’s chief experience officer and a certified mindfulness and forest therapy guide, leads participants through slow, attentive encounters with the landscape.
Each session includes grounding meditation, a drum walk after dark, a visit to the Tree of Life and forest bathing in the deep woods. Candlelit meditation at the Thai Joglo is followed by a walk back to the Welcome Center for light bites. The experience emphasizes quiet observation and a phone-free environment.
Upcoming sessions take their themes from the season’s named moons:
- Saturday, November 28: Beaver Moon — A forest bathing evening centered on gratitude and mindful attention.
- Saturday, December 19: Cold Moon — Includes a winter-solstice observance with Miami-based Venezuelan singer-songwriter Minerva Borjas, also known as Vitaji, leading a kirtan concert beneath the Tree of Life.
- Saturday, January 23, 2027: Wolf Moon — A new-year gathering emphasizing listening, reflection and present-moment awareness.
- Saturday, February 20, 2027: Snow Moon — A silent forest walk and guided sensory practices focused on listening and quiet contemplation.
November, December and January sessions run from 5:30 to 8 p.m.; February’s session runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Arrival is encouraged at 5 p.m. for November, December and February; January participants are asked to arrive by 5:15 p.m. Capacity is limited, and the walks follow unpaved paths through the sanctuary in South Miami-Dade.
