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.

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.

When: Wednesday, December 10, 6:30-8:00 PM
(Please arrive between 6:15-6:25 to get settled so we can start promptly at 6:30)

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.

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.

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.

Prepare for the holiday season with a rejuvenating 2-hour event dedicated to restoring your mind, body, and spirit. Embrace the opportunity to slow down and cultivate inner peace through practices that foster resilience and harmony.

✨ About the Event
Join us for Peaceful Pulse, an evening designed to harmonize movement, breath, and sound. In this unique experience, yoga and live sound blend together, creating a continuous flow of presence and peace. As Bridgette guides you through mindful slow-flow postures, Emily’s healing soundscape will deepen the practice—inviting your body and spirit to release, expand, and restore.

The journey culminates in an extended Savasana with sound immersion, where vibration and stillness weave into profound rest and renewal.

🧘 Slow Flow with Sound
Led by Bridgette Jester, 200RYT yoga teacher, Reiki healer, and sound practitioner, the slow-flow practice is gentle, grounding, and accessible to all. Each posture is paired with mindful breath, allowing the body to soften while the nervous system finds balance.

Throughout the flow, you’ll be enveloped in the soothing vibrations of bowls, chimes, and instruments guided by Emily Adolph, founder of The Soul Lift. Emily is a holistic wellness practitioner, Reiki Master, and sound integrator who blends energy work, meditation, and intuitive sound to support emotional and energetic harmony.

Together, Bridgette and Emily create a resonant container that invites you into stillness, clarity, and connection.

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)

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

Registration Deadlines:

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

• Qigong + Cacao Ceremony: Saturday (10/11) at 10am

Ready for a different kind of reset? Join your guide, Chris Coladonato, for a 4-hour guided silent-ish retreat—an opportunity to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive, quiet community. The main portion is 3.5 hours of guided practices, followed by 30 minutes of optional open time to linger, continue creating, or gently reintegrate at your own pace. Through guided practices, time in nature, and a shared silent meal, you'll experience the power of stepping away from the noise of everyday life and into the presence of stillness.

You'll be guided through:

• An opening circle to share intentions, ask questions, and ease into the experience

• A grounding practice to settle into the space

• A mindful nature connection experience (no hiking boots required)

• Gentle creative time—color, paint, doodle, etc…

• Reflective time for journaling

• A shared meal in silence. Note: Each person will bring their own lunch or snacks. See FAQ for more details.

• Closing circle to reflect and share in community

Join fellow humans seeking the same thing you are: space to breathe, reflect, and remember who you are beneath all the doing. No experience necessary - just show up and leave feeling more centered, present, and connected to what matters most.

What to Wear: Comfortable clothes for movement and sitting on the ground. Sturdy shoes for walking outdoors. 

Where to Meet: Join us in the Star Barn. We will be there for most of the day and will venture outdoors for some mindful nature connection (weather permitting). 

What to Bring:

• Yoga mat or blanket to sit on ground. Can also bring a folding camp/beach chair if desired.

• Water or other beverages for hydration.

• Light lunch or snacks for our shared meal (I’ll have a cooler for you to put your lunches in if needed).

• Blanket, bolster or whatever you want to bring to be comfortable throughout our time together. Please note that we will not be sitting the entire time. We will be getting up and moving about the Star Barn and outdoors (weather permitting). 

• Journal and pen.

• All other materials will be provided.

Price: $50.00 + $5.20 Eventbrite fee

Note: I'm offering this retreat at an introductory price while I pilot this format. Your experience and insights will be invaluable in refining this offering.

Registration:  Space is limited to 10 people. Registration will close 24 hours prior to the event.  

Register through Eventbrite here:  https://thequietresetoct2025connectcat.eventbrite.com

Your Guide:  Chris Coladonato is a Rest Strategist, Presence Coach, Forest Bathing Guide and Founder of Connection Catalyst. She believes slowing down isn’t a retreat but a powerful step forward. She’s passionate about creating spaces for busy humans to slow down, rest, and remember who they are beneath the busy. To learn more, visit: https://connectioncatalyst.com
