Joy Evans As a trauma-healing educator, I have an archive of videos and recordings to help you practice restorative rest. https://patreon.com/joyevans

Stay Rooted!

Joy Evans, MSW (she/her) combines trauma-healing with sound and forest therapy to lead people out of the perpetual stress response, to reconnect with the details of the senses and return to clarity, centered self, and vibrancy. You, my friend, are worthy of rest, and I hope my videos bring you deep peace! All of my videos are invitations to slow down, connect with your heart, reset your nervous system, and notice the healing presence of nature. I post new videos regularly that inspire awe or joy and often mix nature’s rhythms with the calming sounds of my alchemy crystal singing bowls. Check out my Patreon community, Sound Healing Rooted in Nature, for access to short & longer videos + livestreams.

Thank you to everyone who came to Wild Resonance at Autumn Equinox to support One Heart Wild!

And thank you Mindy & One Heart Wild for inviting me to be part of a beautiful afternoon getting to know the animals at the sanctuary and experiencing nature’s healing powers!

One Heart Wild’s co-founder led us on a guided tour of the sanctuary where every animal has a story of how they found their forever home at a place that “welcomes all species, all colors, all ages, all cultures, all genders, all individuals, all abilities, all orientations, all sizes, all religions…Love lives here”.

I’m so grateful to have been able to guide forest bathing at a place that had so much healing energy. It was so fun to play in the forest with the Autumn light and gifts from the trees 🍂

It was also a treat to offer sound healing to so many hearts!💕 I was amazed how the goats and horses got curious, and how the rooster chimed in, in his gentle way. 🐴🐐🐮🐓🐷🐑🐹🐇

🍂 Happy Autumn Equinox! 🍂

Following the Autumn Equinox, the forests on Bainbridge transform. Guided by the sun, the maples ignite in bright hues as the days shorten.

This Autumn we’re offering 3-night or 2-night retreats. We think you’ll want to stay longer once you get to the island and sink into tree time, and we understand how challenging it can be to step away for a weekend of rest.

If you're craving red and yellow foliage, join us for an Autumn 4Rest Retreat. We’re scheduling two more solo retreats until mid-November.

Let’s connect to schedule your weekend and design a retreat to support your intentions. We collaborate with amazing healers who can enhance your forest + sound healing retreat with Ayurvedic services, tarot and lunar wisdom, massage, journeying, reiki, herbalism, and therapeutic farm experiences!

How’s your heart feeling? 🌲 🤗 🌲 Need a hug from the forest?

An Autumn 4Rest Retreat participant described the experience as a “24-hour hug from the forest”.

We’d love for you to join us this Autumn to connect with the forest for yourself! 🍂 We’re scheduling two more solo 4Rest Retreats through mid-November.

🌲Read “4Rest” out loud…we mean 4Rest, as in 4 trees in the cardinal directions at the sanctuary holding our intentions & as in the forest is for rest.

Let’s connect to design a solo forest retreat that will nourish your body and soul with daily guided practices of forest bathing, sound healing and reflection. We also collaborate with amazing healers on the island to add on experiences that meet your intentions.

Take 30 seconds to reset with these gentle waves of the Salish Sea.

This Summer I’ve been so honored to facilitate small group sound healings at beachfronts with the sounds of the Salish Sea blending with my alchemy singing bowls. It’s an amazing Summer experience in the PNW.

It’s been sweet to play with the Salish Sea…the waves, the winds, the songs of the Great Blue Heron, Kingfisher, and Bald Eagles, as well as to play to the curious river otters and seals who popped up 💕🦭

What type of rest does the caregiver in your live crave? Here are 4 ways you can give the gift of rest:

1. Solo Retreat
2. One-on-one Sound Healing
3. Guided Forest Bathing
4. Private Group Sound Healing

Practices of rest in solitude offer a structure where the focus is on personal intentions and energy. At other times, being with community helps us give ourselves permission to rest. Co-regulation can be a powerful gift, caring for each other as we care for ourselves.
