Come Gather.
Meaningful experiences rooted in nature, creativity, beauty, and community.
Around a table. In a garden. Beneath the trees.
With fresh bread still warm from the oven. Flowers gathered from the garden. Paintbrushes scattered across the table. Music drifting through the evening.
Good conversation. Laughter. Time that isn’t rushed.
The pace softens. People begin to breathe a little more deeply.
Creativity returns. Connection grows.
And slowly, we remember that the most meaningful moments in life are often the simplest ones.
The Evergreen Table began with one simple table.
A place where people could slow down, create something beautiful, share a meal, and enjoy being together.
Throughout the seasons I’ll be hosting small gatherings here at home - around the table, in the garden, and beneath the open sky.
Some evenings we’ll bake bread together.
Some afternoons we’ll gather flowers, paint with watercolor, or create seasonal projects.
Sometimes we’ll simply share tea, conversation, and a meal.
To make room for beauty.
Creativity.
Conversation.
Rest.
Belonging.
Because sometimes all we need is a table and a few kind people willing to gather around it
Imagine…
Gathering flowers from the garden. Learning to bake naturally leavened bread. Painting without worrying whether it’s “good.”
Sharing tea around a long wooden table. Walking beneath the trees. Listening to the birds.
Creating something with your hands.
Watching the sun set while conversation lingers. Laughing with people you’ve only just met.
Feeling your shoulders soften.
Remembering there is nowhere else you need to be.
Simple.
Grounded.
Creative.
Joyful.
Deeply human.

Retreats
A few times each year I’ll continue offering immersive retreat experiences rooted in creativity, rest, nature, beauty, and authentic connection.
Whether we’re baking bread... Painting… Walking through the woods… Arranging flowers… Or lingering around the table after a shared meal…
The invitation is always the same.
Slow down. Notice beauty. Create with your hands. Gather often.
Leave feeling nourished.
Not because everything in life has changed. But because you’ve remembered something that was already within you.
"If you need a life reboot or a path to find your light, I highly recommend attending one of Shannon's nature retreats. I went on her May retreat and I literally feel reborn. I'm lighter, happier, and refueled. I attribute the shift to the creative exercises and outings we did together. I'm so glad I accepted her invitation to this life-changing experience."
"My retreats with Shannon as the facilitator have been a blend of self exploration through art, yoga, group meetings, deep meditations and ample time allotted for solitude and reflection in a natural, peaceful setting removed from daily routines, busyness and expectations. These periods of time have allowed deep spiritual and personal growth which have rippled through my life long after leaving retreats. There are no words to truly express how grateful I am to be a part of this growing circle of women."
"The best part of the retreat for me was meeting other women who were doing their own soul-searching, and giving themselves time and space to turn inward and search. The loveliest surprises were the group sharing sessions where I found I was not so alone in my life journey, and getting to know some really incredible women who inspired me to live my life more consciously, and who reminded me to feed my creative self more often. Thank you for gathering women on your retreats. We really can help one another enjoy our life journey more fully."
"Shannon's retreat was amazing and I'm taking away lessons that I will use every day in my life. The silent time meditating calmed my spirit and my soul. The friendships I made will never be forgotten. The activities with the group were inspiring. also had time to read, journal, and get to know myself better. I am so happy that I made the decision to go. I will definitely do this again and tell others about it."
"I believe kismet led me to Shannon’s Retreat and I thank destiny for leading me exactly where I needed to be. I stumbled upon Shannon’s website/retreat information while browsing the internet for ‘wellness retreats’. I reviewed the information and just felt in my ‘spirit’ that this was something I needed to do for myself. I am so happy I followed my heart’s lead, despite being a little apprehensive as a drove up to the retreat house. All of those anxious feelings dissolved when I met Shannon for the first time - it felt like I was greeting an old friend. She is the most loving, compassionate, genuine and fun woman. The rest of the retreat weekend followed the same feeling of an open embrace - from the other women attendees, to the ladies who helped in the kitchen, to the gentleman who tended the grounds - all were filled with love, kindness and a healing energy. I left feeling safe, loved, and quiet in my heart and head. If I could give all of my girlfriends a beautiful gift it would be this retreat! Thank you again Shannon for your gift of empathy and knowledge. I hope our paths will cross again. I will always hold you close in my heart."
"My retreat with Shannon was love and acceptance. It just was. The space and people wrapped me up in this big hug and entered into my heart: what I was feeling, what I had been carrying, and whatever I arrived at the doorstep to discover. They supported me the whole weekend long with lots of laughter, hugs, and delicious silence and nourishment, for both my soul and body. It was the perfect space to unwind and unwrap. Where else can we find that kind of connection (or the power of that many intuitive, loving women!) in our ordinary, busy lives?"
