Eden Rising
A Women’s Wellness Studio
Our Story
It all began with a walk in the woods.
From that quiet beginning, a thriving sisterhood blossomed—women united by a shared journey of healing, presence, and the wisdom of the natural world. That seed became Friends of the Forest, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to offering nature-inspired wellness programs for women.
Rooted in the belief that true well-being is found in harmony with the earth, our mission has always been to guide women back to themselves—through forest bathing walks, equine therapy, creative expression, and seasonal gatherings that nurture both the soul and the senses.
But as we grew, so did the call to create something more—something that could hold women not only in the wild, but in the everyday. A space where healing didn’t depend on the weather.
A sanctuary where softness could be practiced, embodied, and lived.
And so, Eden Rising was born.
Eden Rising is the natural continuation of Friends of the Forest—a sanctuary space and wellness studio designed to support women in their return to wholeness. It offers nature-inspired self-care practices, healing services, gentle movement, soul-nourishing workshops, and a lovingly curated shop for soft living.
Friends of the Forest remains the heartbeat of our work in Mother Nature. It lives now as the wild branch of the Eden Rising collective, continuing to host events beneath the sky and rituals rooted in the land.
Together, Eden Rising and Friends of the Forest weave a whole path home—one that honors the quiet, the sacred, the cyclical, and the true. Whether you meet us in the forest or step into the studio, you are welcome here.
This is your sanctuary.
This is your rising.
At Eden Rising, we offer more than just a wellness studio — we provide a sacred sanctuary thoughtfully created for women to gently reconnect with their bodies, spirits, and the natural world. Rooted in feminine wisdom, nature’s rhythms, and intentional self-care, this is a space where softness, presence, and peace are not only welcomed but celebrated.
Every class, workshop, and healing service is carefully curated to nurture your whole self—honoring your unique rhythms and inviting you into deeper rest, radiance, and renewal. From restorative yoga and Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement to Reiki and holistic feminine wellness treatments, each experience is designed to hold you with kindness and grace.
Our Soft Living Shop complements this sanctuary with a handpicked collection of herbal teas, clean beauty, soft clothing, sacred tools, and soul-nourishing treasures, all sourced from women makers who share our commitment to sustainability, beauty, and heart-centered living.
We gather regularly in women’s circles and seasonal celebrations to cultivate authentic connection, empowerment, and community—a reminder that you are never alone on your journey.
Within Eden Rising lives Friends of the Forest, our nature-based sisterhood offering forest bathing walks, equine therapy and restorative nature programs for women across all seasons of life.
Together, we support the full spectrum of your healing—from sanctuary to soil, from softness to strength.
Feminine Being Classes
Tending to the Self
We offer a nurturing collection of classes and workshops designed to help women embrace softness, presence, and the natural rhythms of their bodies and lives. These gentle practices support inner healing, balance, and holistic well-being by reconnecting you to your innate feminine wisdom.
Our offerings include flowing movement classes tailored for all stages of womanhood, body-awareness techniques such as Feldenkrais and Tai Chi, and restorative yoga sessions held by candlelight to cultivate deep relaxation and renewal. Creative and spiritual workshops invite you to honor the divine feminine through expressive arts, intention setting, and guided meditations enhanced by herbal aromatherapy and sound healing.
Herbal and natural wellness workshops teach you how to craft remedies like salves, tinctures, flower and gem essence sprays, and soothing bath products—tools that nurture your body and spirit throughout the seasons.
Each class and workshop is designed to help you slow down, listen deeply, and cultivate a gentle presence that supports your ongoing journey of self-discovery and healing.
At our studio, we cherish the sanctuary we've created, where women can safely reconnect with their bodies, minds, and spirits. By embracing stillness and tuning into our innate rhythms, we harmonize and restore balance in our lives. Complimentary herbal tea is offered with every class/workshop.

Each gathering is soft and reflective, meeting women exactly where they are.
As we come together in this shared journey, we weave a tapestry of belonging and sisterhood, reminding each other that we are never truly alone. Here, your voice is cherished, your presence is a gift, and your healing is held with reverence.
