Gathering in the Open

What's coming up

Intro to Nature-Informed & Walk-and-Talk Therapy

This session offers a grounded introduction to nature-informed therapy and walk-and-talk therapy as clinical approaches — how to bring the outdoors into session structure, informed consent, and do's and don'ts and what shifts (and what doesn't) when the therapy room becomes a trail. It's built for therapists and clinicians who are curious about these modalities and want a solid starting point before bringing them into their own practice.

Well-Being Discovery Event

I'll be there as a vendor at this community wellness fair hosted by Radiance Healer's Sanctuary — an open afternoon of free group experiences, sound baths, and local healers gathered together in one garden space. Come find my table for a small seed-planting exercise, where we'll pause to name what you're ready to release and what you'd like to grow in this next season, then plant an actual seed to carry that intention home with you. I'll also have 10-minute mini energy cleanses on offer, a quick and grounding saging session to help you clear what you're carrying before you move on to the next booth.

Midweek Sunset Reset

Join Irma, Kifferie, Bhawna, Gwen & Jessica for a midweek pause as the sun goes down — we'll open with an a nature exercise, settle into ear acupuncture for a little grounding, and close together in a sound bath while the sky turns gold. No experience needed, just come as you are and let the evening slow you down. Registration and tickets are handled through our linked sign-up page.

4-Week Outdoor Group Therapy

Join a small group for in-person, outdoor therapy at Challenger Seven Memorial Park, bringing the grounding benefits of Nature Informed Therapy into a shared, supportive space. This series meets weekly for four consecutive Thursdays, October 15 through November 5, 2026, with each session running 5:00–6:30 pm. The $360 fee covers all four sessions, and any materials used during group are included, so all you need to bring is yourself.

A Nature Walk

Join Irma Guerrero-Ali, LMFTS — who specializes in walk-and-talk therapy and holistic healing — for a gently guided walk through the autumn air, paired with real conversation and connection along the way. We'll weave in simple mindfulness and grounding practices that ease stress and invite a little more clarity into your day; no experience or background needed, just a willingness to be present. This is a safe, supportive space to simply be, and past walkers have found it lifts their mood, eases anxiety, and reconnects them with themselves and others. It's free and open to adults, with just 8 spots available.

Save your spot — I'll send details by email.

8th Latino Health Summit

I'll be joining the 8th Latino Health Summit as a speaker — presenting on a panel, "Rooted in Healing: Latino Mental Health & Nature," and leading a short mindfulness exercise for everyone in the room. Hosted by the Hispanic Health Coalition in partnership with Harris County Precinct 2, this free day of Latino health and wellness programming fills Rice University's BRC Building from morning to evening.

A Nature Walk

Fall is settling in, and Irma Guerrero-Ali, LMFTS — who leads walk-and-talk therapy and holistic healing — is hosting another gentle morning walk through Challenger Seven Memorial Park. We'll move at an easy pace along the trail, weaving in mindfulness and grounding practices that help you settle into the present moment and let the outdoors do some of the work. No experience is needed, and no two walks go quite the same way — come ready to listen, breathe, and simply be outside with others. It's free and open to adults, with 8 spots available.

Reserve your spot — I'll follow up with details by email.

Under the Cold Moon: A Sacred Drum Journey

Close out the year beneath December's Cold Moon with a sacred drum journey — a time to slow down, let the steady rhythm of the drum carry you inward, and set down what you're ready to leave behind before the new year begins. Gathering just after the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, we'll honor the turning of the season as the days begin to grow brighter again, and call in the light you want to carry forward.
