About the Instructor
Sara Goff is a multi-faceted facilitator with nearly two decades of experience, offering spaces known for merging the playful and the sacred, dancing between wisdom and wildness, and offering individual growth alongside the tending and nurturing of a healthy community. Her devoted body of work includes her great loves of movement (Sara is a highly accomplished yoga instructor and founder of a yoga teacher training), women’s spaces (she’s a circle leader and trainer with The Wild Woman Project and a producer of the annual Wild Woman Fest) and the natural world (certified as a Forest Therapy Guide, Sara offers forest bathing experiences throughout the year). With roots in musical theater, she is often weaving songs and storytelling into her offerings, and delights when her beloved service pup Lulu gets to do ‘animal therapy’ work at her side! When not working, you’re likely to find Sara and Lulu on hiking trails or river walks, scoping out playground swings and other Adventures in Aunting, or curling up with some nature-inspired poetry or a good story.

Note:

Special Instructions:
• Wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes/boots that are good for walking, ok to get muddy and wet, and are appropriate for the weather forecast. (Be sure to pack a coat or jacket when needed)
• We recommend packing an extra pair of socks, pants, and shirt (we've had muddy kiddos in the past!)
• Pack a snack for children to eat during the program.
• We recommend including these items in a bag: a reusable water bottle, a small towel, sunscreen and/or bug spray (if needed).

Weather Note:
• HNA Nature Classes are all about embracing the natural world - even if it's a little hot, cold, or wet!
• In the event of significant inclement weather, HNA classes will typically be moved indoors or rescheduled or canceled.
• Weather decisions will be made on the day of the class and communicated via email.
