Blackstrap Provincial Park | Starting at $158/personFull Moon Hike, Qigong & Sauna
An evening of connection, reflection and renewal beneath the Full Moon.
What to ExpectWhat's Included:
Journey up Blackstrap Mountain as the evening sky begins to transform. Connect with the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature while enjoying mindful movement and the peaceful beauty of the surrounding landscape.
There is something magical about experiencing nature beneath the light of the Full Moon. A time to slow down, reflect on what is unfolding in your life, and reconnect with the natural rhythms that surround us.
Join Back2Nature Wellness & Adventures for an intimate, guided wellness experience at Blackstrap Provincial Park, where we blend meditation, hiking, qigong, astrology, and the restorative warmth of a wood-burning sauna.
Our journey begins with a grounding meditation inside our cozy bell tent before we venture up Blackstrap Mountain. At the summit, surrounded by expansive prairie and lake views, we'll explore gentle qigong movements beneath the Full Moon, inviting awareness into the body, releasing tension, and creating space for inner clarity.
As part of your experience, you'll receive a personalized astrology reading exploring which house of your natal chart the Full Moon illuminates, offering an opportunity for deeper self-reflection and insight.
We'll complete our evening nestled in the warmth of our wood-fired barrel sauna, allowing the body to soften, the mind to settle, and the experience to integrate.
An invitation to reconnect with yourself, the natural world, and the wisdom within.

How It Works-
Each Full Moon gathering is intentionally limited to eight participants to create a supportive, welcoming environment where you can connect with yourself, nature, and others.
The experience follows a gentle progression from grounding and movement to reflection and rest. No previous meditation, qigong, or astrology experience is needed.
You are welcome to participate at your own comfort level, whether you're seeking a meaningful evening of self-discovery, a nervous system reset, or simply time outdoors beneath the Full Moon.
Each gathering also includes one complimentary community space for someone experiencing financial barriers to accessing wellness.

What is Qigong and do I need Qigong experience?
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese mind-body practice that combines gentle, flowing movements, intentional breathing, and mindful awareness to cultivate and balance the body's vital energy, known as Qi.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, qigong encourages relaxation, supports nervous system regulation, improves balance and mobility, and nurtures a deeper connection between the mind, body, and spirit.
During our Full Moon Experience, we'll practice gentle qigong movements on top of Blackstrap Mountain, connecting with the natural elements and inviting a sense of grounding, inner awareness, and harmony.
No previous experience is necessary. All movements are beginner-friendly and can be adapted to your comfort level.
What if the full moon isn’t visible?
The experience continues beneath the night sky when conditions are safe, and the astrological reflection remains part of the gather.
