Ready to unplug from the busyness of life? Each month, Chris Coladonato will host 90-minute gatherings at Wishing Star Farm - an opportunity to slow down, disconnect from the busyness, and reconnect with yourself. Each month brings a different theme, practice, and seasonal invitation - but the heart of these sessions stays the same: creating space for you to pause, breathe, and remember who you are beneath all the doing. Whether through coloring, silence, nature connection, or seasonal reflection, these sessions meet you where you are and invite you to simply be.

January 15: Winter Stillness

A 90-minute session to honor the deep quiet of winter and give yourself permission to simply be still.

January doesn't have to be about fresh starts, new goals, or reinventing yourself. It can be about rest. About stillness. About honoring the natural rhythm of winter - the season that invites us to slow down, turn inward, and just be.

We'll gather in the Carriage House at Wishing Star Farm for a gentle grounding, followed by time in silence and nature connection. You’ll be invited to sit in stillness, walk quietly through the winter landscape (weather permitting), connect with nature indoors, or simply rest in the spaciousness of doing nothing. 

This is your permission to resist the "New Year, New You" pressure and instead honor where you actually are - in the quiet, restful heart of winter.

Join fellow humans seeking the same thing you are: space to breathe, reflect, and remember who you are beneath all the doing.

When: Thursday, January 15, 6:30-8:00 PM
(Please arrive between 6:15-6:25 to get settled so we can start promptly at 6:30)

Where: Carriage House at Wishing Star Farm

What to Wear: Comfortable clothes for sitting on chairs or cushions on the floor. 

What to Bring:

• Blanket or anything else to help you be comfortable

You Are Not Alone

Beyond Childhood Trauma is a free, confidential support group for adult survivors of all forms of childhood abuse. Our meetings are a safe, compassionate space where you can connect with others who truly understand what it means to live with—and move beyond—childhood trauma.

Each session is co-facilitated by a Certified Trauma Specialist and a fellow survivor. As someone who has personally walked this path, I know how isolating healing can feel. Finding a community of people who “get it” can make all the difference. Together, we listen, learn, and lift each other up.

Our goal for each meeting is to focus on a specific topic for learning and discussion. In January, Christine will be presenting on basic nervous system anatomy and the neurobiology of happiness. Many of us experience anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other ongoing effects of trauma. Understanding how the nervous system works—and learning practical ways to regulate it—can be an important and empowering skill for survivors. We will also discuss simple, accessible techniques for nervous system regulation.

If there are topics you would like us to address in future meetings, please let us know. Your input matters, and we are here to support you.

You are welcome to share your story or simply listen and take in the support of others—there is no pressure to speak.

🕕 Meetings: 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:00 PM

Whether you’re just beginning your healing journey or have been working on recovery for years, Beyond Childhood Trauma offers a place to be seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.

Take the next step toward healing. Join us—you belong here.

Space is limited so please let us know if you plan to join us.  If you have questions or would like to attend, please text 443-286-4507 OR email  Beyondchildhoodtrauma@gmail.com

December 10: Color & Silence

A 90-minute session to unplug from the year-end busyness and reconnect with yourself through color and silence. Step away from the holiday hustle, the constant demands, and the pressure to "wrap up" your year perfectly. This is a space where you don't have to do anything except show up and be present.

We'll gather in the Carriage House at Wishing Star Farm for a gentle grounding to ease you into the space, followed by a brief conversation about unplugging and rest. From there, you're invited to move through the session at your own pace - coloring, sitting in silence, reflecting quietly on the year behind you, or simply resting in the stillness. There's no agenda, no structure to follow, no "right way" to do this. Just space held for you to unplug and let yourself simply be.

Join fellow humans seeking the same thing you are: space to breathe, reflect, and remember who you are beneath all the doing.

Join us Thursday evenings as we listen to the relaxing sounds of the Himalayan signing bowls and the symphonic gong. This one-hour meditative immersion, will help take participants into the theta brain wave state where the body is known to rest and digest. Sound healing is an ancient practice that is known to have many powerful effects on both the mind and body. This meditative technique is good for sufferers of stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD ,as well as those simply looking for a relaxing evening after the regular hustle bustle of daily routine. Many people who attend sound baths have experiences similar to those of the R.E.M. or dream state. For this class we will be set up inside our beautiful barn space. The barn is kept warm through the winter months with our portable heat lamps, yet it is recommended that you dress comfortably and bring layers of clothing just in case the evening temperatures drop a bit. The goal of this class is to be comfortable and to give your mind and body the space it needs to reset. We look forward to seeing you!

Things to Bring:
-Yoga Mat/Floor Cushion/Folding Chair (we will be laying or in a seated position for an hour and want to be sure you are as comfortable as possible, if laying on the ground is not an option for you please feel free to bring a comfortable chair)
-Eye Pillow (optional)
-Pillows/Bolster

💫 As time allows, we'll share our experiences before ending our time together.... opening our circle, yet never breaking it.

🌟 We will be gathering in the farm's Star Barn! Please check the weather & bring appropriate layers, if needed, to make sure you're comfortable if the evening temperature drops, etc.

Step into an evening of connection, renewal, and release. Rooted in the rhythms of the season and inspired by Celtic tradition, this gathering is designed to honor the turning of the Wheel, the wisdom of the ancestors and the unique journey we are each walking.

Together, we’ll explore seasonal practices that help us align with nature’s cycles while deepening our bond with the land, the elements, and those who walked before us.

Through a guided Shamanic journey, you will be led inward to receive insights, healing, and ancestral wisdom. We will then pause to acknowledge what is ready to be released. For some, this may be burdens—old patterns, beliefs, or attachments that weigh us down. For others, this may simply be chapters that have reached completion and are ready to be set free so that a new chapter can be written. Whatever arises, we will honor these experiences. Then, we will share in a traditional fire ceremony to offer these releases to the flames, creating space for renewal, clarity, and the next unfolding of our journey. We will close with a land blessing to thank her for supporting us.

No experience is required, just an open heart. Whether you come seeking connection, clarity, or simply a meaningful pause, you’ll find a warm and welcoming circle here.

This experience will be led by Pam White and Missy Teague of Wishing Star Wellness, who combine Celtic wisdom, intuitive guidance, and sacred ceremony to create a safe and powerful space for all.

What to Expect

• The event will be held in the Star Barn. We will move to the Main House Gathering Room in case of inclement weather.

• We will spend time sitting and lying on the floor. Please bring whatever helps you stay comfortable—such as a yoga mat, cushion, pillow, or blanket. Folding chairs are also available.

• Other things to bring: water bottle, journal and pen, eye mask if desired, any personal items you'd like to bring such as crystals, photos, etc.

• Expect a mix of Celtic-inspired seasonal practices, a guided Shamanic journey, journaling and sharing in circle, and a fire ceremony to honor and release.

• Autumnal Celtic tea and light snacks will be served. You are welcome to bring your own as well.

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected.

$33 per person. Click here to register.

Join us Thursday evenings as we listen to the relaxing sounds of the Himalayan signing bowls and the symphonic gong. This one-hour meditative immersion, will help take participants into the theta brain wave state where the body is known to rest and digest. Sound healing is an ancient practice that is known to have many powerful effects on both the mind and body. This meditative technique is good for sufferers of stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD ,as well as those simply looking for a relaxing evening after the regular hustle bustle of daily routine. Many people who attend sound baths have experiences similar to those of the R.E.M. or dream state. For this class we will be set up inside our beautiful barn space. The barn is kept warm through the winter months with our portable heat lamps, yet it is recommended that you dress comfortably and bring layers of clothing just in case the evening temperatures drop a bit. The goal of this class is to be comfortable and to give your mind and body the space it needs to reset. We look forward to seeing you!

-Yoga Mat/Floor Cushion/Folding Chair (we will be laying or in a seated position for an hour and want to be sure you are as comfortable as possible, if laying on the ground is not an option for you please feel free to bring a comfortable chair)

You Are Not Alone

Beyond Childhood Trauma is a free, confidential support group for adult survivors of all forms of childhood abuse. Our meetings are a safe, compassionate space where you can connect with others who truly understand what it means to live with—and move beyond—childhood trauma.

Each session is co-facilitated by a Certified Trauma Specialist and a fellow survivor. As someone who has personally walked this path, I know how isolating healing can feel. Finding a community of people who “get it” can make all the difference. Together, we listen, learn, and lift each other up.

You are welcome to share your story or simply listen and take in the support of others—there is no pressure to speak.

🕕 Meetings: 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:00 PM

Whether you’re just beginning your healing journey or have been working on recovery for years, Beyond Childhood Trauma offers a place to be seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.

Take the next step toward healing. Join us—you belong here.

Space is limited so please let us know if you plan to join us.  If you have questions or would like to attend, please text 443-286-4507 OR email  Beyondchildhoodtrauma@gmail.com

Qigong is an ancient Chinese mind-body-spirit practice that blends movement, breath, and intention to promote optimum health and wellness. Much like the trees shedding their leaves, we’ll release what no longer serves us during this seasonal immune-boosting flow.

Then we’ll settle into a sacred cacao ceremony where we’ll honor autumn’s gifts – celebrating our accomplishments, releasing what no longer serves us, and gathering nourishment for the stillness of winter. We’ll share ceremonial cacao  blended with warming spices of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cayenne, each chosen to align with the energies of fall.

Through guided meditation, intention setting, and heartfelt sharing, you’ll experience cacao as both a mirror and a medicine for this turning of the Wheel of the Year. Come sit in circle, savor the sweetness of your harvest, release with grace, and resource yourself for the path ahead.

Following our sacred ceremony, we’re offering an optional catered autumn harvest vegan dinner, with a protein on the side for those who eat meat.

Cost:

• $66 for the Qigong + Cacao Ceremony only

• $86 for the Qigong + Cacao Ceremony with catered dinner

• Catered dinner: Thursday (10/9) at 5pm
