A seasonal reset through movement, nature, and insight:
This workshop is a chance to slow down, reconnect, and realign as the season shifts.
You will begin with qigong—gentle movement to help you ground and awaken your energy. Then we’ll take a mindful walk to a special grove—the spiritual center of the Arboretum, where you’ll be surrounded by ginkgo, Chinese white pine, Japanese red pine, and dawn redwood.
Surrounded by these wise beings, you will ask for their guidance and set the intention for your reading.
Your Tree Transformation Card reading can focus on a specific area of concern, or you may choose your cards for the moment and see what unfolds. This is a full tree card reading with many levels to explore.
The Tree Transformation Cards—a uniquely accurate oracle—help bridge the connection to tree wisdom. These cards were inspired by meeting the trees in the Arboretum and discovering that each species carries a distinct energy and message. You will have time to connect with these fabulous trees that surround you.
Bring a journal or your phone to record the reading and insights that follow!
If you have a deck of Tree Cards, bring them along! A few loaner decks are available. There is also a special ticket price if you would like to purchase your own deck of cards for a discounted price for this class only.
About the Tree Cards – The Tree Cards emerged from Flora’s deep connection with trees. Each tree species carries a unique energy and message, which she recorded. Traditional lore later confirmed the same wisdom—affirming the trees as profound teachers and trusted friends.

About the Instructor: Flora Rudolph is an artist and spiritual explorer who discovered the wisdom of trees after a life-changing encounter with a Douglas-fir in 2007. A traumatic brain injury soon after altered her path, but healing came through the trees, leading to the creation of the Tree Cards—messages of guidance from different species. Flora now leads Forest Bathing + Meeting Trees workshops, self-guided experiences, tree readings, online and in-person courses, and a membership community.
